Google has just unveiled a list of 1,001 generative AI use cases from sports summaries to talking cars, all the way to customer support.
A thousand and one. Yes, just like The Arabian Nights, except instead of stories to escape execution, Google has gathered 1,001 ways artificial intelligence is seeping into every corner of our lives. From a pharmacist recommending aspirin to a car that chats like an old friend, and even a coding agent writing software while we sleep soundly.
Google Showcases 1,001 Applications of AI
About a year and a half ago, Google released a list featuring only 101 examples of how generative AI could be used. That already seemed impressive. Now the company is back with a much “heavier” version and warns that this is just the tip of the iceberg. So get ready: in the next eighteen months, AI might even invade your fridge to remind you when it’s time to toss that expired yogurt.
The list spans every industry imaginable from automotive to healthcare, finance to retail, hospitality to travel, media, and manufacturing. Basically, if an industry breathes, there’s an AI waiting to lend a hand. Or to take over entirely, depending on your perspective.
When AI Recreates Cinema Classics on Giant Screens
Among the most bizarre and ambitious examples is the recreation of a 1939 film for The Sphere in Las Vegas that massive LED globe in the Nevada desert that looks like a giant eye. Google used artificial intelligence to adapt the content to the screen’s 160,000 square feet.
It’s the kind of project that shows both the power and the absurdity of technology. Why use AI to recreate a classic movie when you could just project it? Apparently, the goal isn’t always to make sense sometimes it’s simply to prove it can be done.
Talking Cars and Miniature Formula E
Mercedes-Benz is building cars that don’t just take you from point A to point B they actually want to talk to you along the way. Powered by Gemini and ChatGPT, the MBUX virtual assistant can hold natural conversations, recommend nearby points of interest, and probably sympathize when you complain about traffic.
Meanwhile, in Formula E, artificial intelligence has been trained to condense two hours of race commentary into a sleek two-minute summary available in any language. The system integrates driving data, season developments, and key race moments to deliver a concise yet complete recap.
In short, Google’s 1,001 AI use cases paint a clear picture: we’re entering an era where artificial intelligence won’t just assist us it’ll be everywhere, doing everything, often before we even ask.
