Gemini 3 is here: Google's artificial intelligence that can change everything

The speed at which artificial intelligence technologies are advancing is overwhelming, even for those who closely follow this industry. The launch of Gemini 3 is a prime example: in a single day, it topped all third-party AI rankings, and the avalanche of improvements it incorporates represents much more than a incremental increase in speed or capabilities. We are witnessing a paradigm shift, a leap that redefines what is possible in every area where AI intervenes.

Unlike the incremental improvements of the past, Gemini 3 brings together advancements in multimodality, interaction, and reasoning. Now, it is possible to converse with the machine to develop software, manage business tasks, or design interactive simulations, without writing a single line of traditional code.

The threshold for creating, running, and customizing solutions has been lowered to an unprecedented degree, bringing "superintelligence" capabilities closer to anyone integrated into the Google ecosystem.

Furthermore, Gemini's vertical integration with services like Gmail, Calendar, and YouTube offers an unprecedented level of automation and personalization. This ability to seamlessly orchestrate complex activities from a single interface promises a transformation not only for business users but also for the daily lives of millions. The boundary between manual tasks and intelligent, automated management is blurring.

One of the most impressive aspects emerges in the realm of benchmarks: Gemini 3 has positioned itself as the most advanced model in tests such as ARC AGI 2.0 and Humanity's Last Exam, doubling the performance of other leading models. This means that artificial intelligence can now solve doctoral-level problems in mathematics and science, with direct applications in research, medicine, engineering, and many other fields.

This acceleration, however, raises new questions about the distribution of benefits and potential risks. The development of autonomous agents capable of managing entirely digital businesses—as seen in Vending Bench simulations—foreshadows the emergence of companies without human employees and the rapid expansion of a non-human economy, already valued at over a trillion dollars. The question of equitable access to these capabilities and the risk of wealth concentration is more important than ever.

In parallel, security and bioethical challenges are amplifying. The potential for AI to design biological weapons has led initiatives like Red Queen Bio, supported by OpenAI, to seek to scale defenses in response to emerging threats. The balance between privacy, surveillance, and collective security will be one of the central debates of the next decade.

The phenomenon of competition among giants, with companies like Google, OpenAI, xAI, and Cursor battling week after week for supremacy in benchmarks, fosters a level of constant innovation rarely seen before.

The competitive dynamic between large companies and startups ensures that no one can rest on their laurels: each advance forces others to move forward and unlocks previously stalled developments.

In social terms, the drastic reduction in the cost per unit of intelligence is revolutionizing the global economy, with tangible effects on housing, transportation, health, education, and food. Opportunities for genuine democratization now depend, above all, on flexible regulations and a suitable adaptation of the social contract so that the benefits of AI reach all sectors. If this trend continues, the era of abundance could materialize sooner than we think.

Finally, the impact on careers and the way we work is profound. The software development sector, for example, is already being automated; the question of the "vintage" of new engineers—whether they were trained before or after the emergence of AI agents—shows how rapidly the technological work paradigm is shifting.

The advancement of models like Gemini 3 doesn't just mean greater computing power. It implies a new architecture for daily life, the economy, work, and human creativity itself. We face a future in which the pace of change challenges our ability to understand the medium- and long-term implications.

However, if one thing is clear, it is that we have irreversibly entered the era of abundant intelligence, with all that this implies for our generation and those to come.
