As Google weighs in on ChatGPT, You.com enters the AI chat

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. One of the biggest topics underlying the hype bonanza since OpenAI's release of ChatGPT two weeks ago has been: What does this mean for Google search? But it was only on Tuesday evening that Google appeared to finally weigh in on the topic: CNBC reported that employees raised concerns at a recent all-hands meeting that the company was losing its competitive edge in artificial intelligence (AI) given ChatGPT's quick rise. "Is this a missed opportunity for Google, considering we've had Lamda for a while?" read one top-rated question. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Jeff Dean, the long-time head of Google's AI division, responded to the question by saying that the company has similar capabilities in its LaMDA model, but that Google has more "reputational risk" in providing wrong information and therefore is moving "more conservatively than a small startup."
