'Anytime, Anywhere...', Google CEO Sundar Pichai Throws An Open Challenge To Microsoft CEO For AI-Showdown
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said, “I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of Microsoft’s own models and our models any day, any time. They are using someone else's model."
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has thrown an open challenge to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for an AI-faceoff between the their companies' models "anytime, anywhere." While speaking at the New York Times' DealBook Summit, Pichai talked about the pace of AI development and hinted at the changes coming to Google Search in 2025. It seems like this challenge from Pichai came as a response to Nadella's statements from earlier this year when he said, “Google should have been the default winner in the world of big tech’s AI race."
Now, Pichai while responding to this said, “I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of Microsoft’s own models and our models any day, any time. They are using someone else's model. We are getting ready for our next generation of models. I just think there's so much innovation ahead. We are committed to being at the state of the art of this field."
Development Of AI: A Steep Journey Ahead?
The Google CEO, while talking about the future of AI development, said, “When I look at 2025, the low hanging fruit is gone. You know, the curve, the hill is steeper. I think the elite teams will stand out in 2025, so I think it's an exciting year from that perspective."
When he was asked if AI development would hit a wall in 2025 or not, he responded by saying, “I think the models are definitely going to get better at reasoning, completing a sequence of actions more reliably… I think so you will see us push the boundaries."
He further added, “I expect a lot of progress in 25, so I don't fully subscribe to the wall notion, but you know, when you start out quickly scaling up, you can throw more compute and you can make a lot of progress, but you're definitely going to need deeper breakthroughs as we go to the next stage. So, you can perceive it as there's a wall, or you perceive it as there are some small barriers."
