Google CEO Sundar Pichai Reveals Plans to Bring Artificial Intelligence to Search

Even though Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that conversational search will eventually be made available to Google Search even though Bard AI didn't generate the same "wow" effect as ChatGPT. A number of companies have already started with the Bing chatbot that Microsoft is currently making available as part of its public preview program, and Google is also looking forward to doing the same.

The executive is confident that Google will be able to support people with questions and LLMs in the context of their searches. That's a given, Mr. Pichai told Trade Algo, “Definitely.” He is not concerned that artificial intelligence chatbots will disrupt what remains Google's core business and believes that the opportunity space now is greater than before as a result.

It is currently possible for US users to access Google's Bard AI as a limited preview in the US on a dedicated website, which is available for limited use at the moment. As per Pichai's comments, Google is already testing a new search product that allows users to ask follow-up questions in the same way as Microsoft's Bing chatbots.

In spite of the fact that the company pioneered the large language model technology behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google did not rush to release a consumer-facing chatbot until later this year. Although it hasn’t done so in a long time, it has taken the company some time to bring new conversational capabilities to its search engine. As Pichai told the Trade Algo, “I was iterating to ship something, but the timeline may have changed given the current state of the industry.”

It has recently announced that Google has begun collaborating on AI projects between its DeepMind and Google Brain units, which were previously involved in a variety of AI-related projects. There will be a lot more collaboration and stronger collaboration between the two units, because some of these projects will require more compute power, so it makes sense to do them at a certain scale together, Pichai predicted.

In the end, Google is planning to upgrade its Bard AI with Pathways, a new artificial intelligence architecture that has been developed to be capable of handling numerous tasks simultaneously. Pichai expects companies to make smaller AI models and contribute to making AI technology more accessible to them through the Google Cloud Platform, as Google has made its Pathways Language model available to developers using the Google Cloud Platform.
