Google’s Move To Dominate AI

Google is celebrating its 25th year in the tech industry, and it has come a long way since it was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998. Back then, it was only a search engine, and it lived for its first few months in the garage of Susan Wojcicki — the future boss of YouTube. With time, Google has diversified into pretty much every area of tech and dominates some of them.

However, Google is now trying to position itself at the forefront of advancing the frontier of artificial intelligence. Nonetheless, some people are of the opinion that Google has fallen behind in the AI race. A leaked memo from a Google engineer found its way onto the net, in which he said the firm had no AI “secret sauce” and was not in a position to win the race.

Despite this, Google announced 25 new AI-driven products at the IO developers conference in May and owns leading UK-based AI firm DeepMind, whose AI program AlphaFold has the potential to supercharge the discovery of new medications. In addition, Google has a not-so-secret AI weapon in its cloud business.
