According to an internal document obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Google aims to release an AI-powered search and ‘generative experience’ by 2024. This move is seen as a response to the growing popularity of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots. The new tool, codenamed ‘Magi,’ will allow users to ask open-ended questions and receive direct answers generated by AI models. Google hopes this will provide a more natural and conversational search experience. The company also plans to integrate generative AI capabilities into existing products like Gmail and Google Docs. However, concerns have been raised about the potential for AI models to produce biased or inaccurate information. Google acknowledges the challenges and aims to address them through rigorous testing and responsible AI practices. The company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, has emphasized the importance of developing AI responsibly and avoiding potential harms.
