Chapter 1: Google is losing the AI war
In recent years, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been rapidly evolving. Both Google and Microsoft have introduced their respective AI technologies to the world, but it seems that Google is losing its dominance in this war. Microsoft's Chat GPT, integrated into Bing, has gained popularity and is challenging Google's position. While Google's Bard failed to impress, Microsoft's AI technology has captured the attention of users. This shift in the AI landscape has significant implications for all of us.
Microsoft, being a major stakeholder in Open AI, has the advantage of integrating all the research and development of Chat GPT into its products. With Windows running on 70% of the world's computers, Microsoft has a monopoly in the computer and software market. However, they lacked the interest of users when it came to internet-related products. This changed when Microsoft introduced Chat and Create functionalities. Chat GPT allows users to solve various problems in their daily lives, from math homework to website creation. On the other hand, DALL-E enables users to turn their imagination into reality by creating designs without any design knowledge.
Microsoft's vision is to bridge the gap between search engines and generative AI tools. They plan to integrate AI into all their software, ensuring a seamless user experience. This approach poses a significant challenge to Google, as their equation of being synonymous with the internet is weakening. Google needed a solution to regain their dominance, and that solution is Gemini.
Chapter 2: Google's Vision
Gemini, introduced by Google, has the potential to revolutionize the AI landscape. In comparison to Chat GPT, Gemini has outperformed in every task and benchmark. Google claims that Gemini is smarter than any human expert, providing more accurate answers. The key to Gemini's success lies in its multimodality, which allows it to process input simultaneously, just like a human being. By incorporating text, code, audio, images, and video, Gemini provides a comprehensive and enhanced user experience.
Gemini comes in three models: Ultra, Pro, and Nano. Users currently using Bard can access the Gemini Pro model. The Nano model will be used for on-device tasks, while the Ultra model will be integrated into Bard next year. Gemini shows immense potential, but there are concerns about the authenticity of the video demonstration. Google has clarified that the AI answers were not provided through videos but by uploading images and giving text-based prompts. Furthermore, the showcased capabilities of Gemini are not yet fully developed. The response speed shown in the video has been significantly edited, and the comparison with Chat GPT is limited to the older version, not the more advanced GPT Turbo.
While Gemini is impressive, Google's approach to promoting it raises questions. The video demonstration does not accurately reflect the current capabilities of Gemini, creating a sense of deception. The benchmarks showcased on the website are for the Ultra model, which is not available for testing. Users will have to wait for further advancements before experiencing their own "Jarvis."
Chapter 3: Google's Vision for AI
In this competitive AI landscape, user benefits are of utmost importance. Competition fosters innovation, provides options, and ultimately improves the world. Google recognizes the potential dangers of AI and has established seven objective rules for each of its AI products:
- Socially beneficial impact: AI should positively transform people's lives in sectors such as healthcare, security, energy, and transportation.
- Avoidance of bias: AI should be designed to recognize and address biases.
- Ensuring safety: AI should undergo thorough testing to ensure safety.
- Accountability to people: AI should be controlled by humans and not become autonomous.
- Privacy considerations: Users should have control over the information they share with AI.
- Scientific excellence: AI should contribute to scientific research in various fields.
- Alignment with principles: AI should be developed and used in accordance with these principles.
Google has also made a commitment to not use AI for weapons or surveillance purposes. It is crucial for all AI companies to adhere to these principles to ensure the ethical and responsible use of AI in society.
The AI landscape is evolving rapidly, with AI models like Chat GPT, Gemini-powered Bard, and Grok by Elon Musk making the internet exciting again. These AI tools have the potential to simplify our lives and become our virtual assistants. Tools like MidJourney, DALL-E, and Fireflies AI offer various functionalities that enhance productivity and creativity. As the world of AI continues to evolve, we are constantly exploring new tools and integrating them into our workflow.
