Google is Incorporating Technologies for AI from Businesses like Meta Platforms
Google, part of Alphabet Inc., is positioning itself as a one-stop shop for cloud users looking to access the technology by integrating artificial intelligence tools from businesses like Meta Platforms Inc. and Anthropic into its cloud platform. This will further integrate generative AI into Google’s products. Google’s cloud clients will have access to the Llama 2 large language model from Meta as well as the Claude 2 chatbot from AI startup Anthropic, which they can then configure with business data for their own apps and services. The decision, which was made public on Tuesday at Google’s Next ’23 event in San Francisco, is a part of the business’s effort to portray its platform as one where consumers have the freedom to select the AI model that best suits their needs.
The business also disclosed that its Duet AI tool would be made more widely accessible to Workspace customers this year, with public access to follow. On apps like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, users may tap a generative AI assistant that responds to requests to help with content creation. According to Google, Duet AI, which was unveiled in May, can translate captions into 18 different languages, send meeting summaries, and take notes during video sessions. Users can send the tool to join meetings on their behalf, deliver messages, and produce an event report using a new feature called “attend for me.” Google also announced new collaborations with businesses like GE Appliances and Fox Sports that will enable customers to benefit from AI in ways like creating personalized recipes or watching a replay of a sporting event from Fox’s broadcast library.
Moreover, Google disclosed a strengthened collaboration with the chipmaker Nvidia Corp. In order to increase the use of Nvidia chips and products made to expedite the training of huge language models, Google announced its cloud capabilities would be expanded. Google bragged about its access to Nvidia’s H100 accelerators, a sought-after item during the AI craze, and announced it would be allowing clients to use the most recent iteration of the chipmaker’s alleged supercomputer.
