Alphabet CEO: Search uses Gemini's intelligence, and grounds it with what it knows about the world

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai joins CNBC's Deirdre Bosa at Google I/O developer conference to talk its new AI rollout, project Astra, its response to OpenAI's search competitor and more.

One method to resolve hallucination is to use Search to double-check against sources.

[@SentientSauce]

That's just search with extra steps.

I think "grounding" is really the keyword here. Even if OpenAI is currently beating Google in the gen AI space, Google still has the upper hand (by far) when it comes to indexing and thus retrieving web content.

[@MementoMori_2070]

Yeah, Google is winning the web search engine competition. But the lead in AI capabilities belongs to OpenAI. Google and Microsoft in second place. People have their preferences some like OpenAI others like Bing and Gemini or Grok

​@@MementoMori_2070What is Microsoft doing in the AI space that makes them the no. 2 without the help of OpenAI tech?

She basically asked why don't you just drop your $150 Billion annual revenue LOL

[@NOName-nn3jv]

So you want him to screw billions dollars worth of business because someone who got nothing to lose saying his product gonna bring paradigm shift alot?

[@longtailgar]

I think perplexity is the best

[@jumarkpelismino5632]

Make Gemini available in Tagalog please...

[@blindstreet]

It is, available. Palagi ko kinakausap yan kahit pa nga sa ibang dialects like Cebuano Ilocano...Napakagaling nyan magtagalog. Parang natural Filipino. Kapag inutusan mo mag gaylingo pwede rin.

He looks so unwell 😢

[@maalikserebryakov]

He’s doing traditional indian skin bleaching lol.

[@nanditanair870]

I meant that’s he’s lost so much weight

[@maalikserebryakov]

Sundar pichai bleached his skin to the point we should call him Sunderland Pichards lol.

[@sheeraz_]

Google has a lot of catching up to do. Most of the developments are already being done by OpenAI, Microsoft and Perplexity.

[@kcdiazWTV]

But Google has most of our data, that's why their chillin'.

[@refikbarsozcelik4929]

Google is dead

[@maalikserebryakov]

You can tell this guy is trying very hard to follow generic public speaking advice in his forced hand movements lmao

[@joannot6706]

He always expressed himself like that
