Google Announces New AI-Powered Features for its Cloud Customers

Google Cloud offered a glimpse of what it is doing to keep up in the race as the so-called generative AI (software that can create images, text, and videos based on user prompts) buzzes in Silicon Valley. The company demonstrated how cloud customers will be able to use its AI tools to make presentations and documents for sales training, take notes in meetings, and write emails to coworkers. Developers now have access to some of the company's underlying AI models, allowing them to create their applications using Google's technology. Google, which is owned by Alphabet Inc., also stated on Tuesday that it had signed up a slew of AI startups as customers for its cloud service. These startups include Midjourney, which provides a system for image generation, and AI21, which focuses on large language model technology.
