Google might have an answer to ChatGPT. The company plans to host a search and artificial intelligence event titled "Google presents: Live from Paris" at 8:30 a.m. on February 8. We don't know what Google plans to introduce, but there have been hints that the company might have an answer to OpenAI's fast-growing artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT. Google's parent company Alphabet reportedly signalled an internal "code red" following ChatGPT's launch as it considers it an existential threat to its search business.
There have been rumours that Google is already testing out a few AI tools, including a chatbot called Apprentice Bard. During yesterday's earnings call, Google CEO Sundar Pichai mentioned the company has big plans in AI over the next few months, which it has been preparing since early last year. He stopped short of saying what it was, but he mentioned that they'll let people "interact directly" with its "newest, most powerful language models as a companion to search."
