Google's AI-enabled mouse pointer understands 'this' and 'that'

Google doesn't design mouse traps, so it's trying to design a better mouse. Google DeepMind announced a research effort to transform the standard computer mouse cursor into a context-aware, AI-powered tool, marking what the company described as the first major rethinking of the cursor in more than 50 years. The project by researchers Adrien Baranes and Rob Marchant integrated Google's Gemini AI model with an experimental context-aware mouse pointer.
