Overview

• Google’s AI Mode is now available in Spanish across Mexico and Hispanoamérica as a new results-tab experience on the web and in the Google app for Android and iOS.
• Powered by a customized Gemini 2.5, the feature supports text, voice and image queries, uses “query fan-out” to break down complex questions, and defaults to classic results when confidence is low.
• Social feeds are filling with hyperreal AI images—from celebrity shots to recreations of deceased relatives—raising ethical, psychological and legal concerns noted by commentators.
• Experts caution that uploading photos to AI services often grants broad, royalty‑free licenses and preserves metadata, with limited user protections outside regions like the EU.
• Spotify introduced an anti‑impersonation policy for AI voice clones, a spam‑music filter rolling out this fall, and support for a DDEX standard to display AI‑use credits in the app as labels and distributors supply the data.
