Google Gemini AI Unveiled to Compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Offering Benefits to Bard and Pixel 8 Pro Users

After a recent delay, Google Gemini AI has finally been released, following the company’s announcement that it would be launched early next year. Google, known for its focus on AI, is now taking on OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which has dominated the AI chatbot market since its launch a year ago. Despite the challenge of competing with OpenAI, Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressed confidence, stating that they are approaching this endeavor with both boldness and responsibility. Pichai emphasized the importance of ambitious research and the pursuit of capabilities that will benefit society, while also implementing safeguards and collaborating with governments and experts to address potential risks as AI advances.

In particular, the Gemini AI model has been trained to behave in a human-like manner, which is likely to fuel debate about the potential promises and dangers of the technology, which OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has highlighted everywhere he goes. Altman has said that he would like governments around the world to step in to regulate AI technology because its harms are limitless. Something he agrees with billionaire and former OpenAI investor Elon Musk.

However, the entire package has not been distributed at once. It’s set to happen in phases, with less-advanced versions of Gemini, called “Nano” and “Pro,” immediately included in Google’s AI-powered chatbot Bard and its Pixel 8 Pro smartphone.

With Gemini offering a helping hand, Google promises that Bard will become more intuitive and better at design-related tasks. On the Pixel 8 Pro, Gemini will be able to quickly summarize recordings made on the device and provide automatic replies to messaging services, starting with WhatsApp, according to Google.

While early adopters will get access to the basic versions, the truly advanced version of Gemini AI won’t be available until early next year, when its Ultra model will be used for the “Bard Advanced” release. Deal with it, as the chatbot is only offered to a test audience at first. As it stands, developers and enterprise customers can get their hands on Gemini Pro’s Google Generative AI Studio or Vertex AI on Google Cloud starting December 13.

The AI will initially only work in English around the world, although Google executives assured reporters at a press conference that the technology will have no problem eventually diversifying into other languages.

Gemini AI vs ChatGPT

The inevitable question on everyone’s mind is whether Gemini can take on ChatGPT. However, Google executives refused to answer this question. So how Gemini compares to GPT-4 is known as it shares certain technical details, such as the number of parameters, which is one measure of model complexity.

Gemini AI Advanced: Unprecedented Power

Google “Bard Advanced” may be capable of unprecedented AI multi-tasking by simultaneously recognizing and understanding presentations containing text, photos and videos, the demo showed.

Gemini will also eventually be infused with Google’s dominant search engine, although the timing of the transition has yet to be specified.

“This is a major milestone in the development of artificial intelligence and the beginning of a new era for us at Google,” said Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, the AI division behind Gemini.

Google cites the tech’s problem-solving skills as particularly adept in math and physics, fueling hopes among AI optimists that it could lead to scientific breakthroughs that improve people’s lives.

“I’m amazed at what it’s capable of,” Google DeepMind product director Eli Collins said of Gemini.

Prophets of Doom

While proponents of artificial intelligence say it will be of immense benefit to humanity, critics worry about the technology eventually displacing human intelligence and leading to the loss of millions of jobs. But that’s not the worst, some say technology is turning on its creators and ensuring the destruction of humanity.

Gemini AI vs ChatGPT

Gemini’s arrival is likely to kick off the artificial intelligence race that has heated up over the past year with San Francisco startup OpenAI and longtime industry rival Microsoft.

Backed by Microsoft’s financial power and computing power, OpenAI was already deep into developing its most advanced AI model, GPT-4, when it released the free ChatGPT tool late last year. A chatbot powered by artificial intelligence rose to global fame.

And just as Google Bard arrived, OpenAI released GPT-4 in March and has been building new features for consumers and business customers ever since, including a feature announced in November that allows a chatbot to analyze images.

Now that Gemini AI is being released, OpenAI needs to quickly show that it has already stolen Google.
