Google has recently announced its ambitious plan to invest over $100 billion in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This investment surpasses Microsoft’s investment in AI and is aimed at developing advanced AI technologies and applying them to various fields. Google intends to lead the race of developing AI, particularly in the Artificial Generative Intelligence (AGI) domain, which is a type of AI that can perform tasks like humans.
According to Demis Hassabis, the founder of DeepMind, a leading AI research company acquired by Google in 2014, Google’s abundant financial resources, world-class AI talent team, and close cooperation with DeepMind can help it surpass Microsoft in the AGI race. The investment will be used to develop new AI hardware, such as the Arm-based Axion chip, to improve the performance and energy efficiency of AI and cloud services.
In addition to the hardware, Google will focus on developing new machine learning algorithms and improving AI learning capabilities through Social Learning. This will help AI become more intelligent and flexible, allowing it to adapt to various situations and circumstances.
Google’s commitment to investing in AI highlights its significance for the company’s future. AI is expected to bring numerous benefits to various fields such as health, education, transportation, and manufacturing, among others. However, the development of AI also poses certain risks, such as the misuse of AI for nefarious purposes or the potential loss of jobs for humans.
Therefore, to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly for the common good of the community, Google needs to exercise caution and responsibility in its AI development initiatives.
