Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Google has announced it is rolling out generative artificial intelligence (AI) to its core search engine.<\/b><\/p>\n

The move comes after Microsoft incorporated GPT-4 into its Bing search engine earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Search Generative Experience – which will be part of Google – will craft responses to open-ended queries, the company said.<\/p>\n

However, the system will only be available to a limited number of users and is still in “experimental” phase.<\/p>\n

“We are reimagining all of our core products, including search,” said Sundar Pichai, the boss of Google’s parent company Alphabet.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the company announced a new feature on Google’s Android system will proactively warn users about unknown AirTags, tiny devices developed to track personal items like keys and wallets.<\/p>\n

The technology giant said the “unknown tracker alerts” would go live this summer.<\/p>\n

The announcement came after Apple and Google said last week they were working together to address the problem.<\/p>\n

Last year two women sued Apple over AirTag stalking.<\/p>\n

Women who have been tracked using the devices told the BBC last year that not enough was being done to prevent misuse.<\/p>\n

Apple AirTags – ‘A perfect tool for stalking’<\/p>\n

Google made the announcement at its annual developer conference, where leaders of the company touted their latest advancements in artificial intelligence and new hardware offerings, including a $1,799 (\u00a31,425) phone that opens and closes like a book.<\/p>\n

The company said it was removing the waitlist for “Bard”, its experimental, conversational, chat service, which will be rolled out in English in 180 countries and territories.<\/p>\n

It also said the chatbot would soon be able to respond to prompts with images as well as text.<\/p>\n

Google has been under pressure to burnish its artificial intelligence offerings, after the runaway success of rival chatbot ChatGPT, which is funded by Microsoft.<\/p>\n

A previous attempt to show off its credentials in the field, in February, ended in embarrassment, after it emerged that – in an advert intended to illustrate its capabilities – Bard had answered a question incorrectly.<\/p>\n

The incident wiped $100bn (\u00a382bn) off parent company Alphabet’s share value – an indication of how keenly investors are watching how the tech giants’ AI ventures play out.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is deploying ChatGPT technology into its search engine Bing, after investing heavily in the company that developed it, OpenAI. Chinese tech giant Baidu also has a chatbot, called Ernie.<\/p>\n

Chirag Dekate, analyst at Gartner, said Google remained an industry leader and was well poised to benefit in the interest in AI.<\/p>\n

“Google has the tools to dominate the AI battles, the perennial question is – will they?” he said.<\/p>\n
