Q&A

• How is Google integrating AI into its products?

  Google is focused on integrating cutting-edge technology like generative AI into its products. They are also working on multimodal prototypes for AR and have clear terms of service. The company aims to ensure quality-driven rollouts of new projects by 2025.

• What is Google's approach to the costs of providing AI-overviews?

  Google has made significant cost reductions in serving search queries and is confident in its ability to handle the costs of providing AI-overviews to its users. The company continues to invest in its own infrastructure and is simplifying the search experience through AI-overviews while leveraging the intelligence of Gemini.

• How are AI agents affecting search experiences?

  AI agents are impacting search experiences by enabling the detection of emotions, being interruptible during conversations, and handling generative AI for search. This transition is expected to increase user engagement and traffic to the ecosystem.

• What capabilities do AI models now possess?

  AI models can now detect emotions and be interrupted during conversations. However, there are still glitches. For example, Google's Astra is expected to be widely rolled out, and OpenAI's GPT-3 is slowly rolling out for free. There are also concerns about the impact of AI agents on privacy and vulnerability.

• What are some advancements in AI?

  AI has advanced to new conversational agents with emotive capabilities, such as Open AI's GPT-40 and Google's Project Astra, representing a significant leap from previous AI models and chatbots. These advancements include real-time, human-like interaction with voice-based AI and reduced response time, with Open AI's GPT-40 at an average of 320 milliseconds.
