Technology – Google launches AI offensive – Economy

The search engine group Google wants to present its applications with artificial intelligence to a broad public. This was announced by CEO Sundar Pichai in a blog entry. With its announcement, the company is reacting to the success of the start-up Open AI, which has attracted a lot of attention in the tech world in recent weeks with its text robot Chat GPT. Google’s AI initiative consists of three parts: a chatbot called “Bard”, new AI functions in Google search and the provision of programming interfaces, so-called APIs, with which AI applications can be developed . Chat GPT is also putting strategic pressure on Google to compete with Microsoft. The rival, which has only had moderate success on the market with its search engine Bing, has invested billions in Open AI and will also integrate the start-up’s software into its successful Azure cloud platform.
