Net of Google’s investment in an AI startup, there is great anticipation for the event of February 8, 2023, in which the announcement of BigG’s “response” to ChatGPT could arrive. In this context, there was no shortage of important statements by Sundar PichaiCEO of Google.
In this regard, as also noted by The Vergeas part of Alphabet’s fourth quarter 2022 financial results announcement (a video was uploaded to the Alphabet Investor Relations YouTube channel), Pichai focused on future use of AI by Google.
In this regard, the CEO referred to BigG’s desire to allow users to “interact directly“with those he defines”latest and most powerful language models“. An interesting question is that Pichai used the term “companion“referring, as you can well imagine, to the world of search engines.
The Google CEO further explained that the direction is to “unlock the incredible opportunities offered by artificial intelligence“. Among other things, Pichai did not fail to indicate that from his point of view we are coming to “a turning point“, remembering that it is also due to the research carried out by BigG in the AI field that today there are applications of generative artificial intelligence.
At a time when there is a lot of discussion about solutions such as ChatGPT, this could lead one to think that Google’s “response” on the chatbot side is close, but it must be said that Pichai said that the intention is to delve into the AI world with a”deep sense of responsibility“initially releasing some types of features such as tests to be progressively improved.
In any case, it seems that the first Google project that people will be able to interact with directly will be LaMDA, the conversational AI model of the company. It is not clear whether in the end the Google event set for February 8, 2023 will see the actual presentation of a chatbot that can be defined as an “answer” to ChatGPT or not, but what seems clear is that BigG is pushing more and more about the AI world.
