Google catches up with Microsoft’s ChatGPT plan exposure: make AI ubiquitous in products
On the morning of March 9th, according to reports, the latest news shows that Google has made an internal request to integrate “generative artificial intelligence” technology into all major products within a few months. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai also stressed that the technology could “go beyond fire and electricity.”
Artificial intelligence should have been Google’s strength. Google has been making various long-term technology investments over the years, and much of the research that underpinned the previous generation of AI chatbots was done in Google-owned labs. However, startup OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November last year, becoming an early leader in the field of “generative artificial intelligence” and is regarded as the ultimate challenger to traditional Google search engines.
That brought Pichai himself back to his days as a product manager, diving into the minutiae of product features that were often done by employees far below his rank, a former Google employee said.
According to a person familiar with the matter, Google’s senior management has announced a “red order”, which requires that all major Google products, including products with more than 1 billion users, must integrate generative artificial intelligence technology in the next few months. For example, Google announced in March that creators on the YouTube video platform will soon be able to use the technology to virtually change clothes. (Source: Sina Technology)
