Google has advanced its intention to integrate generative AI technology into most of its products, including the email service gmail. She has done it in her recent presentation of quarterly results, in which she has boasted of being a pioneer in this trend of artificial intelligence content generators.
The technology company faces a possible threat to the search engine throne that it holds with Google after Microsoft’s decision to include ChatGPT in Bing (a search engine that is located in an extremely distant second position). The Redmond firm is one of the main investors in OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT.
To be fair, Google has been researching and developing artificial intelligence technologies for several years, even before ChatGPT became the golden dream of web developers. However, the rise of this tool, designed by former employees of Google itselfhas cornered the online search giant.
The Alphabet subsidiary must show that it will know how to integrate its powerful AI algorithms, such as the huge LaMDA language model, into its products and services, convincing programmers to use them along the way. It is on these models that the impressive technology of ChatGPT is based.
The CEO of Google, sundar pichaitook advantage of the results presentation to announce that the artificial intelligence developed by the company will reach services such as Gmail or Google Docs.
The CEO refrained from explaining exactly how generative AI would be integrated into the email service, but broadly explained that the plan is to make AI capabilities available “in design and in other facets “.
Google will release new tools for people to experiment with their models. One of the reasons ChatGPT went incredibly viral was because it was so easy to use and available even to non-expert users. LaMDA, according to Pichai, will be available to be able to interact with it “in the coming weeks and months”.
The company has also announced its intention to offer more artificial intelligence products to different organizations, although Pichai did not specify what type of products he was referring to. The CEO did highlight the role that AI plays in Google’s past, present and futureand pointed out that it is the most important thing that their employees are working on today.
“Our company has always strived to translate these kinds of technical leaps into products and services that help billions of people,” Pichai said during his speech. “We will pursue this goal boldly, but with a deep sense of responsibility.”
The CEO of Google referred to the use of artificial intelligence to improve its search engine and indicated that people should wait for further updates in this regard. Some new search functions that could allow users to interact with the large linguistic models of the company “in a way experimental and innovative“.
However, Google’s intention to include its AI technology in its email service is not an end point, since the technology company wants to use artificial intelligence to reduce its operating costs.
After announcing a workforce cut that put more than 12,000 people out of work, the financial director of Alphabet (Google parent), Ruth Porat, declared that the company planned to improve the efficiency of your technological infrastructure through the use of AI, a measure that suggested that their plans go through automating part of their workflow.
Google will soon reveal more details about its commitment to artificial intelligence, but for now, you have to wait to send an email that has been written by an AI.
