Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Google has announced it is rolling out generative artificial intelligence (AI) to its core search engine. The move comes after Microsoft incorporated GPT-4 into its Bing search engine earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Search Generative Experience \u2013 which will be part of Google \u2013 will craft responses to open-ended queries, the company said. However, the system will only be available to a limited number of users and is still in \u201cexperimental\u201d phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are reimagining all of our core products, including search,\u201d said Sundar Pichai, the boss of Google\u2019s parent company Alphabet.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the company announced a new feature on Google\u2019s 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 \u201cunknown tracker alerts\u201d would go live this summer. 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. Women who have been tracked using the devices told the BBC last year that not enough was being done to prevent misuse. Apple AirTags \u2013 \u2018A perfect tool for stalking\u2019<\/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 \u201cBard\u201d, 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. 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 \u2013 in an advert intended to illustrate its capabilities \u2013 Bard had answered a question incorrectly.<\/p>\n

The incident wiped $100bn (\u00a382bn) off parent company Alphabet\u2019s share value \u2013 an indication of how keenly investors are watching how the tech giants\u2019 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. \u201cGoogle has the tools to dominate the AI battles, the perennial question is \u2013 will they?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
