The Evolution of Generative AI at Google
Generative AI has become a significant focus for Google, with a strong emphasis on enhancing the user experience for its various AI tools. The development journey began with internal projects like BERT and cutting-edge models such as Palm II, which laid the groundwork before expanding to public offerings. With the surge in interest following the launch of ChatGPT, Google has quickly transitioned from experimentation to rapid deployment of new features and models. The team is now concentrated on making these AI models more user-friendly, integrating them with both internal tools and third-party applications while improving documentation and tutorials.
