Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai recently made a major announcement about the role of AI in the company’s software. Pichai shared insights into how much Google, a leading global technology giant known for its search engine and vast range of services, relies on AI in its software development. Additionally, Google unveiled future plans for its AI tool, Google Gemini.
AI’s Role in Coding
At an internal company meeting held on October 29, it was revealed that up to 25% of Google’s software is now developed using AI. This announcement has surprised software engineers worldwide, especially following last year’s large-scale layoffs at Google. With AI playing a growing role in coding, this trend is likely to impact many in the tech industry.
In a recent in-house meeting focused on third-quarter revenue, Pichai highlighted the company’s consolidation of its AI research units—DeepMind and Google Brain—into a single division called Google DeepMind. This new unit oversees all AI-related research at Google.
Company’s AI Expansion Focus
Google is actively expanding Google Gemini AI, integrating it into popular services like Gmail and Google Maps. This integration aims to make these services even more user-friendly. Looking forward, Google plans to continue enhancing and expanding its AI capabilities across its offerings.
