2. Google Gemini: From Chatbot to Android Pilot
While NVIDIA builds the engines, Google is building the cockpit. On Feb 25, Google detailed AppFunctions—a new framework for Android 16 and 17. This allows Gemini to act as a "Personal Intelligence" layer that can execute tasks across different apps without user intervention.
Example Use Case: You can now say, "Gemini, find the top jazz albums from this year in my music app and create a birthday reminder for my mom on Monday." Gemini uses AppFunctions to trigger the music and calendar apps locally on your device, prioritizing privacy and speed.
3. Security Alert: OpenAI's Threat Report
It wasn't all record profits and new features. OpenAI released a major security report on February 25, revealing how threat actors are using AI for "covert influence operations." The report highlighted cases in China and Cambodia where AI was used to forge documents and impersonate officials. This underscores the need for the New Delhi Declaration’s focus on AI safety.
4. Summary: The 2026 AI Roadmap
February 25, 2026, will be remembered as the day the "Agentic Era" became a financial reality. With NVIDIA providing the infinite compute and Google providing the mobile OS integration, the barrier between "Human" and "AI Agent" workflows is effectively disappearing.
