Last month, Larry Page and Sergey Brin held several meetings with the company’s management. Sundar Pichai, asked the founders to participate in the discussion of the measures that the company could take to control the development of ChatGPT. Earlier, the company admitted that the new chatbot poses a threat to their 149-million-million-in search business and declared it the red code.
After Page and Brin left the leading positions in Google, they reserved a policy of non -interference in the company’s activities. They gave Pichai the opportunity to manage Google and her maternal company Alphabet, having devoted themselves to other projects, such as the creation of flying cars and assistance in the fight against natural disasters. Their visits to Google offices in Silicon Valley have recently been limited to inspection of successful projects.
Google’s attitude to AI has changed over time. For example, in 2014, Google acquired DeepMind, a leading company in the field of AI, which has a research laboratory in London. Although, as it is supposed, this acquisition did not bring significant progress for both Google and DeepMind in the field of AI. But now they had to get involved in work and revise the Google strategy in the field of artificial intelligence. The founders approved new plans and proposed ideas to expand the functionality of the chatbot in the Google search engine.
Today, Google is engaged in more than 20 AI projects. In May, innovative solutions are expected at May, such as Image Generation Studio, which allows you to create and edit images, and the green screen function to add the background in YouTube video. In addition, 2 code generation tools are developed: Colab + Android Studio and Palm-Coder 2. In order to be in hand, the company introduced a special check process called the Green Street, which can significantly accelerate the approval of AI projects due to teams of employees providing the ethics and justice of the use of technology.
Simultaneously with the release of new technologies, the Motherland company Google Alphabet makes changes to its structure. On Friday, the company announced that it decides to reduce 12 thousand jobs, since during the pandemic period it hired too many employees, and now fears a slowdown in the economy. As the Sundar Pichai noted in his appeal to employees, these changes are necessary in order to “guarantee that our people and roles correspond to the strategy and priorities of the company.”
