Recently, according to Axios (via 9to5Google), Google has made internal announcements about its plans to update Google Assistant using the latest large language model (LLM) technology. This means that Google, having already used PaLM 2, its most advanced LLM, to power AI experiment Bard, might apply similar technology to its virtual assistant.
The internal e-mail disclosed by Axios reveals that Google has already initiated work on the update, beginning with the mobile version of Google Assistant. This update has the potential to revolutionize the capabilities of Google Assistant, presenting new opportunities for users, developers, and Google’s own team.
According to the e-mail, Google acknowledges the profound potential of generative AI to enhance people’s lives and grasps the significant opportunity to explore what a supercharged Assistant, fueled by the latest LLM technology, could accomplish.
In addition to the technical changes, the e-mail also mentions some structural changes within the teams responsible for Google Assistant. News of employee layoffs has emerged due to these changes. However, the e-mail asserts that Google remains deeply committed to its Assistant and is optimistic about its promising future.
Google Assistant currently boasts more than 500 million monthly users worldwide, but it has not received any major updates recently. However, with these ongoing developments, the Assistant is anticipated to acquire fresh features and functionalities. The internal e-mail even refers to the future Assistant as “supercharged,” hinting at exciting possibilities.
Evidently, “supercharged” seems to be the prevailing direction of Google’s AI advancements. This is further exemplified by the introduction of Bard as “your creative and helpful collaborator, here to supercharge your imagination, boost your productivity, and bring your ideas to life.”
