On April 24th, it was reported that Google has transferred its engineering team responsible for manufacturing AI chips to its cloud computing division, a move that could make its cloud department more competitive with larger rivals Microsoft and Amazon Web Services in selling AI software to enterprises. According to a Google spokesperson, this move is a step towards integrating AI hardware and software expertise and delivering more comprehensive AI solutions to customers.
This latest move by Google is seen as an effort to catch up with Microsoft and OpenAI, who have successfully launched the ChatGPT chatbot and integrated it into Microsoft's Bing search engine, potentially undermining Google's long-standing dominance in the search field. Additionally, Google has previously merged its two AI research labs, DeepMind and Google Brain, to accelerate its AI work.
With Google's increased investment in AI hardware and software integration, it is excited to offer customers access to the latest advancements in AI technology and collaborate with them to develop innovative solutions that drive business growth and efficiency. Meanwhile, they can leverage the power of AI to enhance their customers' competitiveness and unlock new opportunities for growth.
