Google has enlisted the help of co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to discuss the company's AI strategy. Managers are said to be feeling pressure to respond to ChatGPT. Later this year, Google is reportedly planning to release its own chatbot search engine, according to The New York Times.
Current Google CEO Sundar Pichai is said to have asked Page and Brin to weigh in on the company's strategy, according to sources who were present at the meetings, as reported by The New York Times. Although Page and Brin are still involved with Google, they have not been leading the company for some time. The co-founders are said to have looked at the product strategy around artificial intelligence and given their advice. Managers within the company are said to be feeling the competitive pressure to set up their own chatbot to compete with ChatGPT, according to sources.
ChatGPT was released in beta form in November. Google is also working on artificial intelligence and has its own chatbot in development called LaMDA, but it is not publicly available yet. The company has not yet released much information about the project or when it will be made available for general use. According to The New York Times, the company plans to release its own version of its search engine with a chatbot feature later this year. It is not clear when this will happen, but it could be announced at the I/O developer conference in May.
In addition, Google is also said to be releasing around 20 other artificial intelligence tools. One of these is said to be a tool called Colab, which will allow developers to automatically develop Android apps. Google also plans to release a programming tool called PaLM-Coder 2.
Meanwhile, CEO Pichai has reportedly issued a "code red" within the company, meaning that some products will need to be tested, approved, and released more quickly.
