Gemini I/O 2025: Ushering in the Era of World Model AI and Agentic Intelligence
With the unveiling of Gemini I/O 2025, Google signals a seismic shift in the AI landscape—ushering in a new age of world model AI and agentic intelligence. The implications go far beyond productivity: we're looking at AI systems that collaborate, learn, and adapt with human-like context.
At the Gemini I/O 2025 event, Google introduced a vision of artificial intelligence that's not only more powerful, but fundamentally more human-aware. With the launch of the Gemini 2.5 Pro model and the debut of Agent Mode, the spotlight is now firmly on 'world models' and agentic AI—systems that don't just respond, but reason, plan, and evolve.
'Gemini I/O 2025 marks a decisive inflection point in the evolution of artificial intelligence—an era where we move from narrow, task-specific models to expansive 'World Models' that understand, reason, and act with context across environments,' said Jaspreet Bindra, Co-founder, AI&Beyond. 'This isn't just about better chatbots or smarter automation; it's the foundation for truly agentic intelligence—AI systems that can autonomously perceive goals, plan actions, and adapt to complex real-world dynamics."
Bindra underscored that what sets world models apart is their multimodal capability fused with memory and reasoning—hallmarks of how humans interact with their environment. 'With Gemini's architecture, we are seeing the rise of AI that can collaborate, not just compute; that can anticipate, not just react,' he added. 'As we build toward a future where digital agents become trusted co-pilots in decision-making—from scientific discovery to enterprise productivity—we must also embed safety, alignment, and transparency at the core of these systems.'
Echoing the sentiment, Mayank Maggon, Founder and CEO of TechChefz Digital, said, 'Gemini I/O 2025 marks a significant step forward in AI evolution—bridging the gap between intelligence and true autonomy.' He pointed out that Gemini 2.5 Pro is not merely a performance upgrade—it's a foundational leap. 'With the ability to process text, images, audio, and video simultaneously and handle up to 1 million tokens (soon expanding to 2 million), this opens up enterprise-grade use cases,' he said.
Among these use cases: instant auditing of large codebases and compliance documents, deriving actionable insights from hours of meeting transcripts, and cross-referencing legal, financial, and product datasets in real time.
The standout innovation, however, is the new Agent Mode—a framework for AI systems that not only execute tasks but learn from user behaviour over time. 'Imagine delegating your calendar management, project planning, or travel logistics to an AI that not only executes but learns your preferences. Or training the AI on specific workflows—like updating CRM entries or responding to RFPs—and letting it handle them independently,' said Maggon.
This evolution transforms AI into a proactive, personalised assistant—capable of summarising customer feedback, drafting reports, or even generating creative content like design briefs, all based on internal communications and documents.
The seamless integration of Gemini across Google's ecosystem—from Chrome and Gmail to Android Auto and smart home devices—ensures that this AI is always present, ambient, and contextually aware. 'Whether you're driving, in a meeting, or at home, AI support is now ambient and proactive,' Maggon added. 'At TechChefz Digital, we're actively exploring how next-gen AI like Gemini can augment internal workflows, enhance customer experience platforms, and power intelligent enterprise solutions.'
As Jaspreet Bindra aptly concluded, 'Gemini I/O is more than a technical upgrade—it's a philosophical leap. The age of agentic, world-aware AI is no longer speculative—it's here, and it will transform every interface, workflow, and expectation we have from machines.'

Why Canada made a u-turn on its contentious Digital Services Tax
In a bid to restart stalled trade negotiations with the United States, Canada scrapped its Digital Services Tax (DST) hours before it was due to take effect on Monday. Calling the DST 'a direct and blatant attack' on the US, President Donald Trump had on Friday announced the termination of all trade discussions with Canada. With the contentious tax out of the way, talks between Washington and Ottawa will likely resume. What was the DST? The DST was a 3% levy on the digital services revenue a firm made from Canadian users above $20 million in a calendar year. Controversially, the tax was set to be retroactively implemented beginning 2022. This would have had a significant impact on American technology giants such as Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon — American tech companies would have had to pay roughly $2.7 billion to the Canadian government, if the tax were to be implemented, The New York Times had reported. 'The DST was announced in 2020 to address the fact that many large technology companies operating in Canada may not otherwise pay tax on revenues generated from Canadians…,' Canada's finance ministry said in its statement on Sunday. While the law had been passed earlier, payments were due from Monday. What does Canada's U-turn mean? Canada is the United States' second-largest trading partner after Mexico, and the largest buyer of US exports. It bought $349.4 billion of US goods and exported $412.7 billion to the US last year, according to US Census Bureau data. At the same time, it currently faces the steepest of Trump's tariffs: apart from the 10% base tariff imposed on most countries, Canada (and Mexico) face an additional 25% on all exports to the US, apparently meant to curb illegal immigration and stop fentanyl smuggling. Trump has also slapped 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and 25% on auto imports. This makes getting a trade deal with the US a top priority for Canada. Scrapping the DST would help in this regard — Trump had been among its most vehement critics. Early indications are that Washington and Ottawa could meet the previously-set July 21 deadline for a trade agreement. Domestically, the U-turn is unlikely to hurt Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite his election platform revolving around standing up to the US President. This is because the DST was not particularly popular in Canada either since it could have raised the cost of all kinds of digital services — from hailing cab rides to streaming movies. In fact, in recent months, many speculated that the tax's best purpose could be to serve as a bargaining chip in ongoing trade talks with the US.

Judge allows antitrust lawsuit against Apple to proceed
By Michael Liedtke A federal judge on Monday rebuffed Apple 's request to throw out a U.S. government lawsuit alleging the technology trendsetter has built a maze of illegal barriers to protect the iPhone from competition and fatten its profit margins. The 33-page opinion from U.S. District Judge Xavier Neals in New Jersey will enable an antitrust lawsuit that the U.S. Justice Department filed against Apple 15 months ago to proceed. Neals has set a timetable that could see the case come to trial in 2027. Apple has sought to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing the Justice Department had distorted the contours of the smartphone market and made a series of other misinterpretations that warranted the case be thrown out. But Neals decided there is enough evidence to support the Justice Department's market definitions and concluded the case's key allegations merited further examination at trial. The case seeks to pierce the digital fortress that Apple Inc., based in Cupertino, California, has built around the iPhone, iPad and other products to create a so-called "walled garden" allowing its hardware and software to mesh seamlessly for users. The Justice Department alleges that walled garden has mostly turned into a shield against competition, creating market conditions that enable it to charge higher prices and stifle innovation. The lawsuit "sets forth several allegations of technological barricades that constitute anticompetitive conduct ," Neals wrote in his opinion. The judge also concluded the Justice Department had pointed toward enough areas of troubling conduct that raised the "dangerous possibility" that Apple has turned the iPhone into an illegal monopoly. In a Monday statement, Apple reiterated its position that the Justice Department's case "is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will continue to vigorously fight it in court." The antitrust lawsuit isn't the only legal headache threatening to undercut its profits, which totaled $94 billion on sales of $295 billion in its fiscal year ending last September. Another federal judge in April issued a civil contempt order banning Apple from collecting any fees from in-app transactions on the iPhone that are funneled through other options besides its once-exclusive payment processing system that charged commissions ranging from 15% to 30%. Apple also could lose a more than $20 billion annual payment that it gets for making Google the default search tool on the iPhone and other products as part of another antitrust case brought by the Justice Department. A federal judge in Washington D.C. is considering whether to ban the deals with Apple as part of a shake-up being proposed to address Google's illegal monopoly in searc h. Neals' decision to allow the Justice Department's antitrust case to proceed came on the same day that Apple was hit with a lawsuit by app maker Proton amplifying the accusations of wrongful conduct by the company. The lawsuit, which will seek to be certified as a class action presenting thousands of developers who have made iPhone apps, is asking for punitive damages against Apple, as well as a court order to dismantle its walled garden.

Stock Market Updates: Sensex Up Over 200 Points, Nifty Above 25,500; Apollo Hospitals Rises 3%
Last Updated: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are likely to see a flat-to-positive start on Tuesday Markets Today: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are likely to see a flat-to-positive start on Tuesday, with market movement guided by a mix of domestic data and global cues. At 8:05 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 24 points higher at 25,638. Key triggers for the session include India and China's final manufacturing PMI readings for June, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's address at the 2025 ECB Forum in Portugal, strong activity in the primary market, and institutional investment flows. India's industrial output (IIP) rose just 1.2% in May — the slowest pace in nine months — down from a revised 2.6% in April. The early arrival of the monsoon led to a sharp 5.8% fall in electricity generation, the steepest since June 2020. Mining output contracted 0.1% for the second month in a row, while manufacturing grew 2.6%, with only 13 of 23 sectors reporting gains. A high base from May 2024's 6.3% growth also dragged down the numbers. Global Market Trends Asian markets were mixed in early Tuesday trade as investors reacted to fresh record highs on Wall Street and uncertainty around U.S. tariff policy. President Donald Trump's 90-day tariff reprieve is due to expire next week, raising global trade concerns. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that while some countries are 'negotiating in good faith," tariffs could be reinstated if talks stall. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei retreated 0.87% after an 11-month high in the prior session, and the Topix slipped 0.52%. However, South Korea's Kospi jumped 1.83%, and Australia's ASX 200 edged up 0.15%. Markets in Hong Kong were closed for a holiday. U.S. stock futures were mildly lower in early Asian hours after another strong session on Monday. The S&P 500 rose 0.52% to 6,204.95, the Nasdaq gained 0.47% to 20,369.73, and the Dow added 275.50 points, or 0.63%, to 44,094.77. The rally was supported by Canada's decision to withdraw its planned digital services tax, a move seen as easing trade tensions with the U.S. The tax, aimed at tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon, was scheduled to take effect on Monday. The rollback followed Trump's sudden halt of trade talks with Ottawa.
