Google is making another big move in the AI subscription race by restructuring its higher-end plans, lowering the price of its most expensive tier, and adding YouTube Premium as part of selected packages.

Artificial intelligence is steadily becoming part of everyday academic life, and in Malaysia, that shift is now happening on a much larger scale. Google has announced that Gemini for Education is now available across all 20 public universities in the country, bringing AI-powered tools directly into the existing Google Workspace for Education ecosystem already used by these institutions.

OpenAI has quietly adjusted its ChatGPT Go subscription pricing in Malaysia, and surprisingly, it went down instead of up. The Go plan now costs RM24 per month, compared to its previous RM38.99 monthly fee. That's roughly a RM15 drop, which is a pretty noticeable cut for a subscription tier that's meant to be the "entry-level paid" option.

Google is continuing its push to make artificial intelligence more useful in everyday life. The tech giant has announced major upgrades to its AI Mode in Search, rolling out new agentic features, expanding to over 180 additional countries (including Malaysia), and supporting even more languages. This move signals Google's ambition to bring its AI closer to a true digital assistant—one that doesn't just answer questions, but actively helps people get things done.

Google's long-rumored AI assistant, formerly known as "Pixie," is finally gearing up for launch—but under a new name. According to recent reports, this advanced assistant will be called Pixel Sense and is expected to roll out with the Pixel 10 series later this year.
