Always more artificial intelligence, with ever more in-depth integration into voice assistants and into all of Google’s activities, including the search engine. These are the messages hammered out Tuesday by Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai at the opening of the annual Google I/O developers conference.
Put under pressure by OpenAI, the publisher of ChatGPT, which scolded him by announcing on Monday a new version of its AI model, GTP-4o, the boss of Alphabet wanted to demonstrate that his group was capable of doing once again in the lead, after a year marked by several disappointments. “As you know, we have been investing in artificial intelligence for over a decade, but we are still at the very beginning of the movement towards AI as a platform,” said Sundar Pichai.
