![]() ![]() “That’s why we re-oriented the company around AI six years ago - and why we see it as the most important way we can deliver on our mission: to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” “AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,” wrote Google CEO Sundar Pichai in the Monday blog post announcing the changes. This release is a signal that the heated competition has encouraged Google to push its work into the spotlight. But the company has historically been secretive about the full potential of its AI work, particularly with conversational AI tools, and has only allowed Google employees to test its chatbots internally. Like other big tech companies, Google is overdue for a technological breakthrough akin to its earlier inventions like search, maps, or Gmail - and it’s betting that its next big innovation will be powered by AI. Since ChatGPT came out, Google has faced immense pressure to more publicly showcase its AI technology. Google’s announcement comes a day before Microsoft is expected to announce more details on plans to integrate ChatGPT into its search product, Bing (Microsoft recently invested $10 billion in ChatGPT’s creator, OpenAI). It seems that the breakaway success of ChatGPT - the AI conversation tool created by the startup OpenAI that can auto-generate essays, poetry, and even entire movie scripts, and which amassed 100 million users just two months after it launched - has nudged Google to make this move. While Google has for years used AI to enhance its products behind the scenes, the company has never released a public-facing version of a conversational chat product. Google will first give Bard access to a group of trusted external partners, according to a company blog post on Monday it said it plans to give the public access “in the coming weeks.” What the public will have access to starting this week are search results that sometimes show AI-generated text, especially for complex queries. Under intense pressure to compete with ChatGPT - the buzzy AI chatbot that has become a viral sensation - Google announced on Monday that it’s releasing its own “experimental conversational AI” tool, called “Bard.” The company also said it will add new AI–powered features to Google search. ![]()
