That doesn't mean you'll be able to play hooky — although a version of you will appear on the screen, moving in time to your motions. This will make it appear as if you are present and engaged, even if you didn't have time to make yourself presentable for the camera.
Unfortunately, the simple Zoom app that connected people during the epidemic has evolved into a full-fledged workspace like Microsoft Teams. It now includes multiple levels of AI (say hello to Zoomie!) with agentic services, whiteboards, chat, and more.
But the core experience, now known as Workplace, is also improving in measurable ways, the company said at its Zoomtopia developer conference. It didn't provide examples of how each feature will work. However, company's Workspace roadmap looks intriguing.
For years, users have been able to turn their cameras off, which doesn't necessarily indicate that the user is paying attention. Its solution is a "photorealistic avatar" that will "track and mimic their live video feed," described as a "lifelike AI-generated avatar."

Google Gemini is adding nannying to its chatbot skillset. According to a New York Times report, Google will make Gemini available to users under 13, so long as they're under a parent-managed Google account using Family Link. In an email sent to parents, Google said that kids will get access to Gemini to "ask questions, get homework help and make up stories." This expanded availability will come with guardrails for its new user base, Google spokesperson Karl Ryan told NYTimes, adding that it would prevent Gemini from offering up unsafe content to kids.
In the email, Google acknowledged that "Gemini can make mistakes" and recommended that parents teach their kids how to fact-check Gemini's responses. Along with double-checking, Google suggested reminding younger users that Gemini isn't human and to not enter any sensitive or personal data into conversations. Even with those measures, the email still warned that children could "encounter content you don't want to see."
With the staggering pace of AI chatbot adoption, concerns about underage users have been bubbling up to the surface thanks to instances of factually incorrect or suggestive responses. In a report published last week, Common Sense Media warned that AI chatbots were "encouraging harmful behaviors, providing inappropriate content, and potentially exacerbating mental health conditions" for users under 18.
