At a recent summit, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed plans for significant advancements in Google Search, stating the platform will soon handle more complex queries than ever before. He indicated that users would notice enhanced capabilities by early 2025.
Pichai responded to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's comment that Google should have been the 'default winner' in the AI race. He suggested a 'side-by-side comparison' of Google's proprietary AI models against those used by Microsoft, which relies on OpenAI's technology.
Emphasizing the rapid evolution of AI, Pichai remarked, 'We are in the earliest stages of a profound shift. There's so much innovation ahead, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of this field.'
Google has begun integrating AI into its search platform, including AI-generated summaries and an upgraded Lens tool for video searches. The company is also set to launch an updated version of its Gemini AI model to compete with Microsoft and OpenAI.
Additionally, Pichai discussed the significance of Google's free meal policy, stating that many innovative ideas have emerged from casual conversations in the company's cafes. He noted, 'So, it sparks creativity,' highlighting the collaborative culture at Google.
