Google has taken its next step in AI with its launch of Gemini, an AI model that's trained to behave in more human-like ways.
👉 Background: Google, like the other tech giants, has been racing to develop AI that successfully competes with ChatGPT. They came out with Bard earlier this year, but it didn't gain the same level of popularity as ChatGPT.
👉 What happened: Now, Google has taken its next step in AI with its launch of Gemini, an AI model that's trained to behave in more human-like ways. Gemini has been trained to handle audio, photo, video, and text data—and it has supposedly outperformed every other AI in 30 out of 32 industry benchmarks.
👉 What else: But the AI industry are a little skeptical. That's because Gemini's demo was just a representation of "what Gemini could look like" rather than a real-time demo that people thought it was watching.
💡In the race to catch up to competitors, companies can end up tripping over themselves.
💡Earlier this year, Google found itself in hot water when its AI chatbot Bard shared inaccurate information during its live demo. Because of this, Google lost $100 billion USD in market value in one day.
💡Google definitely did not want a repeat of this awkward situation, so when it came to the launch for Gemini, they pre-recorded a demo video. And now, tech experts aren't really sure what to believe anymore.
