>>> YOU KNOW WHEN WE DON'T KNOW SOMETHING AND WE SAY WE WILL JUST GOOGLE IT, IT IS SOMETHING WE SAY EVERY DAY WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT, BUT IF YOU WOULD HAVE HEARD YOURSELF SAYING THAT 20 YEARS AGO YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT SOUNDED CRAZY. GOOGLE IS A WEIRD WORD AND RECENTLY I WAS ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS AND HEARD STUDENTS SAY I WILL GPT IT. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARMS RACE THAT HEATS UP MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY. NOW GOOGLE'S UNVEILING SO MANY NEW FEATURES YOUR HEAD IS GOING TO SPIN, ALL USING ONE PHRASE OVER AND OVER. >> THE SHIFT WITH AI. >> WE CAN SEE THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF AI AS A COLLABORATOR. SMACK IT PERSONALIZED AND PRIVATE AI MODEL, USING OUR AI PLATFORM. >> YOU GET THE IDEA. SO WHAT DO THESE FEATURES LOOK LIKE? THERE IS AN UPGRADE TO GOOGLE MAPS, A REAL-TIME WEATHER AND TRAFFIC CONDITION PRESENTED IN A 3-D WORLD, AND THEN SOMETHING CALLED A UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR.
IN CASE YOU'RE WATCHING A VIDEO IN A LANGUAGE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. CHECK OUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. >> WHAT MANY COLLEGE STUDENTS DO NOT REALIZE IS THAT KNOWING WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP AND THEN FOLLOWING THROUGH IS ACTUALLY A HALLMARK OF BECOMING A PRODUCTIVE ADULT. >> DID YOU SEE HER MOUTH WAS MOVING IN THE SAME WAY ON THE SECOND VIDEO? ALL THAT SHINY STUFF DOES NOT COME WITHOUT A WARNING. THERE ARE DISCLAIMERS ALL OVER THE WEBSITE WHERE THE WORD EXPERIMENT IS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES IS THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T USE GPT TO SEARCH THE INTERNET IN REAL TIME. IT WAS CUT OFF IN 2021 BUT BARD IS FULLY DIALED IN FOR EVERYONE. WITH US NOW IS JUSTIN BURKE, A TECHNOLOGY EXPERT FROM GOOGLE. WELCOME AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING GPT AND THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT FINALLY HAVING AI CONNECTED STRAIGHT TO THE INTERNET AND THEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WONDERING IF REAL-TIME ACCESS IS A BETA FROM GOOGLE AND IF IT IS MOVING TOO FAST.
>> YEAH, IT IS AN EXCITING TIME FOR SURE. AND YOU CAN INTEGRATE IT INTO SEARCH AS YOU MENTIONED. SO THINK OF GOING TO GOOGLE SEARCH AND HAVING MORE OF AN INTUITIVE CONVERSATION LIKE YOU WOULD DO WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND IF THEY HAPPEN TO KNOW ALL HE INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE OPEN INTERNET AND WE HEARD THIS PHRASE, WE ARE MOVING BOLDLY BUT RESPONSIBLY.
WE INTRODUCE THE PRINCIPLES BACK IN 2018. WE HAVE BEEN THE SLOW PLAYING A LOT OF THIS DEGENERATIVE AI BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET IT RIGHT. THINGS ARE MOVING QUICKLY BUT WE ARE GOING SLOW AND WE ARE BEING RESPONSIBLE WITH HOW WE DO IT. >> ANOTHER INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT IS THE IDEA OF WATERMARKS, THIS IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT KNOWING WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT IS AI GENERATED. HOW ARE YOU GUYS BUILDING THESE? >> WE WILL DO A WATERMARK AND METADATA AS WELL. AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE CAN BE A PROLIFERATION OF MISINFORMATION AND WE ARE BUILDING THIS CONTENT AND SOMETIMES IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL WHAT IS ACTUALLY A REAL PHOTO AND WHAT HAS BEEN GENERATED BY AI. WE WILL HAVE METADATA ATTACHED TO THAT DEGENERATIVE AI CONTENT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN KNOW WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT ISN'T, BECAUSE WE NEED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC IN THAT WAY. >> I HAVE BEEN USING IT A LOT TO HELP RESEARCH THINGS. I HAVE TO SAY, WE ASKED BARD ABOUT HOW IT WILL PLAY INTO THE CONTROVERSY OF SEVERAL STATES ACCUSING GOOGLE OF ANTITRUST PRACTICES.
SO I WANT TO COVER A PART OF THE RESPONSE FROM YOUR CHAT BOT BECAUSE IT DID NOT SEEM TO HOLD BACK VERY MUCH. IT SAID AI COULD BE USED BY GOOGLE TO FURTHER ITS MONOPOLY POWER IN THE TECH INDUSTRY OR IT COULD BE USED TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD AND GIVE SMALLER COMPANIES A CHANCE TO COMPETE. OKAY, SO IF THOSE SCENARIOS ARE TWO ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM, WHERE DO YOU THINK GOOGLE LANDS? >> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. BARD IS AN EXPERIMENT AND IT WILL GET BETTER WITH TIME BUT I DO LIKE THAT ANSWER. IT IS BALANCED AND LETS THE INDIVIDUAL KIND OF LEARN FROM WHAT THE INFORMATION IS AND THEY CAN COME UP WITH THEIR OWN TAKE AWAY.
IT IS NOT COMING UP WITH A HARD STANCE AND IT IS ALLOWING THE INDIVIDUAL TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THAT INFORMATION. >> OUT OF ALL THESE FEATURES, WHAT IS THE NEW TOOL HERE THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE THE NEXT GOOGLE VERB? >> I THINK DEGENERATIVE AI STUFF IS GREAT AND A GREAT WAY TO HAVE A NATURAL CONVERSATION. I THINK WITH THE BARD EXPERIMENT IT COULD BE LIKE THAT BUT ALL THE DEGENERATIVE AI ACROSS WORKSPACES AND TRANSLATION, IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT IS PROLIFERATING ACROSS ALL THE PRODUCTS TO MAKE IT MORE HELPFUL.
IT MAY NOT BECOME A VERB, BUT IT WILL HAVE BENEFIT IN YOUR DAILY LIFE. >> OKAY. SO AS WE WERE DOING THAT I HAD TO ASK WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET IN REAL-TIME AND BETA TESTING TO EVERYONE. IT GAVE ME A FEW DIFFERENT ANSWERS HERE, BUT ONE WAS A POTENTIAL FOR IT TO BE USED TO SPREAD MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION.
I MEAN, WHAT ARE THE SAFEGUARDS THAT ARE GOING INTO EFFECT? A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY GOOGLE IS THE INTERNET THESE DAYS AND NOW TO SEE AI INFUSED IN A SEARCH RESULT, WHAT KIND OF SAFEGUARDS? >> BARD IS A STANDALONE EXPERIMENT, THAT IS NOT INTEGRATED IN SEARCH JUST YET. WE HAVE INTEGRATED CAPABILITIES THROUGH SEARCH LABS. THIS IS A WAITLISTED ONLY TYPE OF EXPERIMENT RIGHT NOW WITHIN LABS. IF YOU GO TO GOOGLE, YOU CAN GO TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER AND THEN JOIN THE WAITLIST. WE ARE MOVING SLOW WITH THIS AND WE ARE GETTING IT OUT THERE IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY AND WE CANNOT INNOVATE IN A BACK — VACUUM. WE NEED TO GET THESE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE USING IT BECAUSE WE CANNOT DO.
