Google CEO, Sundar Pichai has been vocal about his eagerness to release AI products. He recently made several announcements at Google’s I/O developer conference.

He said this reflected “momentum” within the company.
In the email, Pichai said, “I see Google’s progress everywhere,”.
Pichai’s Vision for AI
Pichai believes that AI will soon impact “every product of every company” and disrupt jobs. He has called for AI regulations and guidelines to ensure that the technology is “aligned to human values”. Pichai is optimistic about the large number of people who have started worrying about the implications of AI at a relatively early point in its development. However, he is also concerned that society might not be ready for the lightning-fast pace of AI advancements. Despite these concerns, Pichai is eager to release AI products that can make people’s lives easier and more productive. He believes that AI has the potential to radically transform the way we live and work.
Google’s AI Products
Here are some of the AI products that Google is developing:
1. AI Snapshots: Google is introducing a new feature called AI Snapshots to its flagship search engine. Google Search enhanced with AI snapshots will show A.I.-generated answers at the top of search results for some queries to provide relevant context. Users can further narrow down information in the snapshot with follow-up questions.

4. Search Generative Experience: Google’s search engine is testing out new AI capabilities called the “Search Generative Experience,”. This feature has been in testing for many weeks. Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai announced at the conference that an expanded artificial intelligence presence in several of Google’s products will be implemented this year, including a new look and feel for the company’s search engine.
5. Bard: Google is publicly testing its chat AI, Bard. Pichai said that the company is holding back more advanced AIs to ensure that society can get used to the technology.
