AI integration
Google's AI overhaul and future plans
Google has already started a major AI overhaul of its search engine this year, bringing features like AI search summaries and a Lens update for video-based web searches.
The tech giant is also planning a major update to its Gemini model as it aims to compete with Microsoft, OpenAI, and AI search engine Perplexity.
These developments highlight Google's commitment to integrating advanced tech into its services.
AI competition
Pichai responds to Nadella's AI race comment
Responding to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's earlier claim that Google should have been the "default winner" in the AI race, Pichai said he would welcome a comparison between Microsoft's and Google's models.
He subtly alluded to Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI by saying they are "using someone else's models."
This exchange underscores the competitive nature of artificial intelligence technology among leading tech giants.
