Google, a pioneer in technology, is trying to introduce AI-based apps that improve the real-world experience for users. Against the backdrop of peers introducing AI-based programs to create text passages and images with just a prompt, Google is putting in significant efforts to become the first AI company in the world.
According to the latest information obtained from BNN News Network, the executives at Alphabet’s Google engage in reviewing the AI programs before releasing them to the general public. A team of engineers is also tasked with coming up with novel ways to improve the core search experience for users.
Potential safeguards to prevent the misuse of AI applications
The search giant has assigned the role of testing its powerful and most recent text and image generation models to a limited group of users. Recently, the executives at Google have been trying to avoid the misuse of AI tools with appropriate safeguards and test them thoroughly before putting them into real-world experiences.
Jeff Dean, the head of research at Google, released a lengthy blog last week showing the efforts put forth by the company in AI. He highlighted in his blog that the recent developments in AI will change the way users interact with computers.
Faces pressure on ad-tech and search operations
The Justice Department lawsuit targets ad tech and search businesses and puts pressure on Google’s business. The search giant also laid off 12,000 employees last week because of this impact.
A spokeswoman for Google said the company has been working for a long time on artificial intelligence and deploying such AI-based products to improve people’s lives. She also claimed that AI is a transformative and foundational technology that benefits businesses, individuals, and communities. She went on to say that these innovations should have broader societal benefits.
Microsoft Supports OpenAI With $10 Billion
According to a communiqué last week, Microsoft Corp. would support OpenAI financially. The investment spans several years. It is actively supporting the development of Dall-E2, an image generation program, and ChatGPT Chatbot.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, last week said the company will infuse all of its offerings with AI tools like those developed and introduced by OpenAI. According to the latest information from US news websites, Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, would give stiff competition to Google’s search and ad businesses using the latest AI technologies.
Biden begins his reelection campaign
Biden began planning themes and campaigns for reelection in 2024 months or weeks before making an announcement. Biden offered a glimpse into how he will explain the nation’s recovery from the COVID outbreak and keep the economy afloat in a speech on Thursday in Springfield, VA. The major donors are preparing to start raising funds for the reelection campaign in the spring.
According to the latest updates, the top aides to Biden are busy identifying campaign staff. Biden expects to announce after the State of the Union address on February 7. His aides say a formal announcement is expected either in March or April.
Biden does not expect to face a challenge from the Democratic Party despite the revelation of the discovery of classified documents in his Delaware home. The recent revelations are expected to prompt the Justice Department to appoint an investigator.
