Google has been dominating the development of artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) systems for years. This has undoubtedly been helped by its 2014 acquisition of DeepMind, the London-based startup focused on AI research that developed AlphaGo, a program capable of defeating a grand champion of complex Asian board game Go, which opened debate on whether the AI would eventually surpass the human mind.<\/p>\n

But Google\u2019s unquestioned dominance was interrupted last year by another startup \u2014 OpenAI. The launch of ChatGPT, the most successful application in history, caught big technology companies off guard, and forced them to accelerate their AI programs. In April of this year, DeepMind \u2014 which until then had functioned as a relatively independent research laboratory\u2014 and Google Brain \u2014 the technology company\u2019s other major research division \u2014 merged into a single organization: Google DeepMind, which has some of the best AI scientists in the world.<\/p>\n

Colin Murdoch, 45, is the chief business officer of Google\u2019s new AI super division, which has just presented its first toy: Gemini, a multimodal generative AI platform<\/a> that can process and generate text, code, images, audio and video from different data sources. Those who have used it say that it far surpasses the latest version of ChatGPT, and that it puts Google back in the fight to dominate the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
