Google Is Back in The Big AI Race, But It’s Still Catching Up
In Brief
Google is now in a catching up position in the AI race.
The word “AI” was spoken from the stage 146 times. As a result, the share price rose by a little less than 5%.
In the world of search engines, the competition is fierce. With Microsoft’s Bing armed with GPT-4, it is not only able to search the internet but provide concise answers; Google has had to act fast to stay afloat. And act fast as they did with their hastily trained PaLM-2. In this new era of AI technology, known as the AI Era, all the credits have started to be measured in tokens. Google had to give up on the over-parameterizing of its tools and put its eggs in the token basket.
But that’s not to say that Google doesn’t stand a chance. Quite the contrary. With its incredible trove of data and resources, Google stands perfectly poised to make a comeback in the big AI race. In addition, Google’s staff and research facilities provide the perfect platform for the algorithm to develop and upgrade. Moreover, Google’s experience in producing one of the most popular search engine algorithms of all time is invaluable.
In order to make the most of its expertise, Google is investing heavily in its AI-powered tools and making aggressive investments. Google is already investing heavily in research and development in artificial intelligence-centered development. From robotics and machine learning to natural language processing and more, the search engine leader is making a huge move to help the business stay ahead of the competition. By making use of the latest technologies, Google has been able to improve its search engine algorithms in a way that makes them more powerful, relevant, and accurate.
Google is also investing heavily in its international presence. No longer content to remain confined to the US, Google has diversified its approach by expanding its reach to new territories. By monetizing its services in countries like India and the Far East, Google has continued its competitive advantage. Additionally, Google is leveraging its existing competitive advantages by constantly looking for new markets in which to build its services.
In addition to these efforts, Google has taken steps to ensure its algorithms remain as ethically sound as possible. Whereas Microsoft’s GPT-4 can be used for malicious purposes as well.
What We Know After Google I/O 2023 Presentation
Google has recently made bold moves to jump back into the big AI race. The tech giant has announced incredible progress that elevates its Artificial Intelligence capabilities to unprecedented heights. The latest development from the organization is the incorporation of AI into its standard services, such as Gmail, Google Photos, Maps, and more.
The first advancement to be implemented is the “Help me to write” function on Gmail, which uses AI technology to automatically answer your messages and emails based on your prompting. This proactively looks for questions in incoming communications and can draft replies to save users time and effort. With the addition of this program, Google users now have the option of having the AI handle their emails.
Google Photos will now include the Magic Editor neural network, which provides users with incredible editing capabilities. With the technology, users can erase and move objects within their photos and videos and apply edits, such as lightning, contrast, and saturation. These impacts are applied instantly and with exceptional accuracy.
In addition, Google is incorporating 3D maps of major cities around the world. Through the use of a birds-eye view, users can receive visual updates on the traffic of a city and real-time weather reports from all over the planet.
Google has also revealed advancements in natural language processing, such as their PaLM 2.0 language model and Gemini multimodal models. Through these systems, users will be allowed to interact with the AI in a more natural and conversational manner. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Adobe Firefly neural network into the Google chatbot will now let users generate images and other visuals.
The AI technology within Google’s chatbot will be available in 40 languages, and it will also be able to interpret programming codes and explain them in detail. If a user needs to create any type of data plate, they will have the option of asking the AI and having the finished product sent to Google Sheets within two clicks.
In addition to visual and language processing capabilities, the AI system can also analyze images and detect the subject of the photo.
Google has revealed its new AI software, Palm 2, which is its answer to OpenAI’s GPT. It includes a range of models from the small enough that run offline on a mobile phone to the larger ones that run in the cloud. Google also showed how Bard can be integrated into Google Docs, Slides, Tables, etc. Additionally, Google search results will slightly change, with the first island trying to answer questions in a ChatGPT style. Gmail will also get a built-in LLM for automatic drafting, such as an email for a flight cancellation with one button for refunds. Finally, Google Maps will receive an update in the summer with the immersive view function being able to build routes with 3D views based on real-world data and virtual cars.
Vertex AI now allows large businesses to purchase Google Cloud language model training. This enables businesses to create corporate data-trained bots without needing their own R&D department. Neural Response is a space-effective solution for learning machine responses, meaning users can maintain their normal Google usage practices.

We’ve seen that Google is not one prone to swift changes; typically, big companies operate more slowly due to size and scale limitations, but they do understand how to make these changes practical and user-friendly. Despite the challenges found during this process, it’s still fun seeing what Google will come up with next!
