Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai revealed To GoogleHe said he was excited when ChatGPT came out because it showed that people were “ready to understand and engage with the technology,” but Pichai said he felt AI was not the case, even though Google had progressed to become the “number one AI company” since 2016. Google’s technology “needs to mature a bit more before we put it into our products.”
According to the “Business Insider” website, Pichai explained that he was not worried about OpenAI, “In some ways, it’s an exciting moment for me because we’re building that core technology and using it in our products. , but we are still planning where to be.” …Technology has a long way to go, and I feel very comfortable about where we are.
Big tech companies like Microsoft have released their own buildable AI tools to take advantage of the AI hype since OpenAI launched its AI-infused chatbot, ChatGPT, last November, but Google is in no rush to catch up. .
Asked whether Google should start “something like GBT before OpenAI,” Pichai said doing so wouldn’t make a big difference to Google’s bottom line in the long run.
“I’m not entirely sure it would have worked,” Pichai added. “The truth is, we can do a lot more after people see how it works. It doesn’t really matter in the next five to 10 years.”
Pichai’s recent comments on AI appear to be a departure from concerns that Google may be lagging behind in its AI efforts. In December 2022, just weeks after ChatGPT came to light, the New York Times reported that Google management declared it “code red”. The company fears that OpenAI’s chatbot will one day replace Google’s search engine.
“Connecting users to what’s on the web is important to us, and we’re working hard to make sure it continues to do well,” Pichai explained.
