Microsoft has taken the lead in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ChatGPT, overtaking Google who have been careful in adopting AI technologies. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's AI language models into Bing search engine and Edge browser, allowing the Redmond-based giant to take the lead. Google's response was the introduction of chatbot, Bard, based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). It has triggered suspections that Google had been overly cautious in getting their tech ready, while their rival Microsoft had pushed on. Details have emerged on Google's efforts to prevent harm from AI, with reports of employees reviewing the company's AI products and reducing the potential risks for launch. Microsoft, however, has been mum about ethical and security issues, keeping a minimum size executive team and canning employees who raised a concern. The goal for Microsoft is to lead the AI competition - something which is clear from an email seen by The New York Times, delivered by the giants technology executive, Sam Schillace.
Google is an American tech giant, providing internet-related services, operating systems, and products since 2003. Recently, the US Department of Justice accused Google of monopolizing the search market and argued that the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT technology was potentially delayed due to this. The Justice Department highlighted that Google's default search engine contracts with Apple and smartphone providers could be limiting the competition. John Schmidtlein, Google's lawyer, opposed this idea. Judge Amit Mehta is expected to decide on the antitrust cases against Google this summer.
A recent case against Google by the DOJ has led to issues in the tech giant's monopoly on the market, impacting the development of new products like AI-based ChatGPT. Judge Amit Mehta is currently overseeing the trial, examining if the company's prepackaged deals with web browsers and mobile devices breach antitrust laws. With Google's long history of success, this case brings many questions to the industry.
