CALIFORNIA: Google on Tuesday announced that it is giving some developers and businesses access to its artificial intelligence capabilities, which have gained attention since the launch of Microsoft-backed ChatGPT last year.
Google’s cloud computing arm will allow testers to “infuse generative AI” into apps or use it on Google’s own platform. The company hopes to make generative AI more accessible to a broader range of developers, businesses, and governments globally.
The technology will enable organizations to brainstorm, write copy, produce media assets, and analyze data, among other things.
Google plans to provide testers with new application programming interfaces and products that make it “easy, safe, and scalable” to build AI models using Google’s cloud service.
Generative AI will allow the software to use prompts to sum up, information or write in a conversational style, as seen in Gmail and Google Docs. Google’s goal is to help a whole new generation of builders, innovators, developers, and doers harness the power of AI in novel ways.
ChatGPT to use prompts to summarize information
Among the functions Google hopes to make more broadly accessible is a generative AI that allows the software to use prompts to summarize information or write in a conversational style.
“In Gmail and Google Docs, (testers) can simply type in a topic you would like to write about, and a draft will be instantly generated for you,” Kurian wrote.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said last month the Facebook and Instagram parent company was creating a product group to develop ways to “turbocharge” their AI work.
And Snapchat, the photo-sharing app popular with teens, has said it will introduce a chatbot powered by the most up-to-date version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Available initially to subscribers, the “MyAI” tab will allow users to interact with the chatbot much like it were a friend.
And Microsoft chief Satya Nadella is expected to showcase how the company integrates ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence into its widely used business software at a special event on Thursday.
“We are so excited by the potential of generative AI and the opportunities it will unlock,” Google’s Kurian said.
“From helping people express themselves creatively to helping developers build new types of applications, to transforming how businesses and governments engage their customers and constituents,” he said.
