Google will no longer publish the company's AI progress

Dopious · May 5, 2023

Now that Google faces tough competition from the combination of OpenAI and Microsoft, the company will no longer publish its progress, according to the Washington Post. Legendary Googler Jeff Dean is said to have changed the previous attitude towards progress that called for the publication of academic papers.

Instead, the progress should be published after the work has already been turned into products, so as not to give competitors an advantage.

Google has been leading, so much, in AI and NLP field for such a long time.
Most of the ground-breaking papers were from Google. The AI would not be the same without them.

AI newcomers can't just take Google's credit, steal their papers and finished products and use them against Google. I can relate to their decision.

I don't care about the 'google evil' or 'fear of competition' talking, I just want Google to contribute more to AI and NLP field with amazing innovations. I know they are capable of it.

I think it's also partly because Google is scared about OpenAI. But when OpenAI recently announced that it would not continue to develop a version after GPT4, they were somewhat reassured

LOL

Yes true they are capable but they still haven't made any new tool as cool as Chatgpt!

It is better to share ideas because it can help others share ideas.
You never know who would get better idea hearing aboit yours.

So, I think they should share what they know and what they would like to build. That would help a lot.

But, I understand when they say to hold until completed. They want to trademark or patent it because they need to make money from something.

Maybe they'll start putting their papers in a vault next to the Coca-Cola recipe. Just remember, competitors, if you hear a ticking sound coming from that vault, it's not a bomb, it's just the algorithm self-destructing in case of theft LOL.
