In addition to Magi, Google is developing generative AI features for Image Search and Chrome, including a browser chatbot, according to a new report released.
The New York Times reports that Google is working on “GIFI” to generate AI images for the Google Images results. In February, we discovered that the company might include its Imagen and Parti text-to-image generators in Gboard for Android.
Formally, Google previously reviewed such a generator coming to Work area items like Slides, which would be helpful for rapidly finding resources while making introductions.
Google Chrome’s “Search Along” is described as a chatbot that allows users to ask questions while browsing the web:
People might ask the chatbot for activities near an Airbnb rental, for example, and the A.I. would scan the page and the rest of the internet for a response.
Teach users a new language through open-ended A.I. text conversations” is another feature of “Tivoli Tutor.” It is stated that these product concepts are in “various stages of development.”
Google is also looking into allowing users to “search for music through a conversation with a chatbot,” but it’s not clear if this has anything to do with YouTube Music or if it’s just a Google Search feature. Allowing “people to use Google Earth’s mapping technology with help from AI” is another form of exploitation.
Google Search will get AI with the ‘Magi’:
At this point, the introduction of generational AI to Google Search is a foregone conclusion. However, a new report released today explains that the process is taking place in two stages, with project “Magi” coming soon.
As the New York Times indicated, Google is “redesigning the current [search engine] with A.I. highlights” as a component of undertaking Magi, which is an alchemist and dubiously in line with Versifier naming-wise. It is said to provide a “far more individualized experience than the company’s existing service.”
Magi, for which Google has the technology with PaLM, would enable Search to “answer questions about software coding and write code based on a user’s request.” Clients will ask follow-up inquiries, which would include advertisements under created results.
Magi is currently being iterated quickly by 160 full-time designers, engineers, and executives at Google. Last week, employees were invited to test and ask questions about Magi. There will be a public launch in May, which sounds like I/O 2023, and more features will be added this fall.
The underlying send-off will be fundamentally gated to the US, and restricted to a limit of 1,000,000 clients before expanding to 30 million by the end of the year.
According to the New York Times, “Google is racing to build an all-new search engine powered by [AI],” but this endeavor is still in its infancy:
The system would learn what users want to know based on what they’re searching for when they begin using it. And it would offer lists of preselected options for objects to buy, information to research, and other information. It would also be more conversational, like chatting with a helpful person.
Finally, as per the present report, Google learned in Spring that “Samsung was thinking about supplanting Google with Microsoft’s Bing as the default web crawler on its gadgets.” It’s likely referring to Android tablets and phones.
An estimated $3 billion in annual revenue was at stake with the Samsung contract. An additional $20 billion is tied to a similar Apple contract that will be up for renewal this year.
Google thinks that Samsung might want to switch because of Bing’s AI features. The contract is also “under negotiation, and Samsung could stay with Google,” according to The Times. The business is responding by making its pitch to Samsung.
