But exactly how does Google plan to roll out its own AI chatbot, especially LaMDA, which has been limited beta testing for a while now. Let's take a look at what we know so far about Google's own approach to AI, and why it could go big on this in 2023. Anthropic is not Google's first big-ticket investment in artificial intelligence technologies. In 2014, Google's parent company, Alphabet acquired British AI laboratory DeepMind. DeepMind is known for, among other things, developing the AlphaGo program that beat world champion Go player Lee Sedol in 2016; AlphaZero, which was able to defeat seasoned chess programs like Stockfish; and AlphaFold, which predicted the shape of nearly all proteins known to science.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live, work, and interact with each other. We've all had to make adjustments to the way we do things, including the way we shop. We're now seeing a shift towards contactless and digital payments, which has made it easier for us to stay safe and healthy while still being able to purchase the items we need.

One day in mid-November, workers at OpenAI got an unexpected assignment: Release a chatbot, fast. The chatbot, an executive announced, would be known as "Chat with GPT-3.5," and it would be made available free to the public. The announcement confused some OpenAI employees. All year, the San Francisco artificial intelligence company had been working toward the release of GPT-4, a new AI model that was stunningly good at writing essays, solving complex coding problems and more. After months of testing and fine-tuning, GPT-4 was nearly ready.


From Meta to Microsoft, AI's big moment is here

The Japan Times

Big Tech companies have a new obsession: artificial intelligence. This week, chief executives across the sector packed earnings calls with mentions of the heavily hyped technology, which until recently existed more in the background than as a solid contributor to the bottom line. In conference calls after financial results, tech execs uttered the phrases "AI," "generative AI," or "machine learning" from two to six times as often as they did in the previous quarter, according to a review of conference transcripts.

But these days, instead of devoting all his time to painting in his sun-dappled studio near the picturesque medieval square in the town of Pieńsk, Poland, he's spending ever more of it on Zoom calls, talking to lawyers, artists and others about the strange reason he is suddenly far more famous than he ever thought possible.

The rise of ChatGPT and generative AI as a whole has been hard to miss in the past months, especially with Microsoft throwing its money behind OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT. However, with that attention has come a slew of ChatGPT alternatives, including a ChatGPT-style bot set to be launched in March by Baidu. According to Reuters, China's Baidu plans to launch an AI chatbot service in March similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT. While it will originally be launched as a standalone application, there are plans to integrate it into Baidu's search engine, much like what Microsoft is planning to do with OpenAI's technology and Bing. The goal is to incorporate the chatbot-generated results in search requests, providing more than links to users. Additionally, Baidu has unveiled AI-powered "creators," which can assume various roles, including: All of this comes as Baidu continues to invest heavily in AI tech, including cloud services, chips, and autonomous driving.
