The threat to Google's $162 billion business is reportedly pushing the company to revamp its search products, including creating an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/technology/google-search-engine-ai.html" target="_blank">entirely</a> new A.I.-powered search engine.Google's drive to compete contrasts with comments from Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai in an interview, also aired on Sunday, in which he suggested that he wanted to avoid a rush to release new A.I. products for fear of how they might affect society.In the interview <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-googles-dont-be-evil-motto-has-evolved-for-ai-age-60-minutes-2023-04-16/" target="_blank">with CBS's 60 Minutes</a>, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai called artificial intelligence "the most profound technology humanity is working on," continuing that it was "more profound than fire or electricity or anything that we’ve done in the past."On 60 Minutes Sunday, Google executives demonstrated how to use its Bard A.I. to summarize the New Testament, and <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-artificial-intelligence-future-60-minutes-transcript-2023-04-16/" target="_blank">expand</a> the famous six-word short story “For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.”Yet the demonstration on Sunday also revealed A.I.’s continued struggle with “hallucinations”—that is, moments when the model generates details that don’t exist in reality. On CBS, Google senior vice president James Manyika asked Google’s A.I. to answer a question on inflation. The program recommended five books that, on <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-artificial-intelligence-future-60-minutes-transcript-2023-04-16/" target="_blank">further review by CBS</a>, did not exist.Pichai dismissed the issue of hallucinations. “No one in the field has yet solved the hallucinations problem. All models do have this as an issue,” he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-artificial-intelligence-future-60-minutes-transcript-2023-04-16/" target="_blank">told CBS</a>.Google’s first demonstration of its Bard program in February also featured an incorrect answer to a question, leading shares to plunge and <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/02/08/google-bard-ai-mistake-ad-stock-price-market-cap/" target="_blank">erasing $100 billion</a> in market value. (Alphabet shares have since recovered.)Both Bing and OpenAI’s ChatGPT have also <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/02/15/microsoft-bing-ai-errors-demo-google-bard-chatgpt/" target="_blank">made up specific details</a>, or delivered <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/02/17/microsoft-limit-openai-chaptgpt-bing-interaction-ai-bot/" target="_blank">strange and unsettling</a> responses after extended interactions.<h3>Competition and safety</h3>Google has been slower in embracing A.I. than its competitors. Microsoft is <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/02/07/microsoft-search-engine-bing-ai-chatgpt-openai/" target="_blank">already integrating</a> ChatGPT-like A.I. into its Bing search engine, and is continuing to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/6/23672862/microsoft-image-creator-edge-sidebar-dall-e-ai-generator" target="_blank">roll out A.I. services</a> across its many products.On Sunday, Pichai suggested that Google was being cautious about rolling out more advanced A.I. to ensure that society could adapt to the new technology.Some leaders in the tech sector, like <a href="https://fortune.com/company/tesla/" target="_blank">Tesla</a> CEO Elon Musk and Stability AI founder Emad Mostaque, have <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/03/29/elon-musk-apple-steve-wozniak-over-1100-sign-open-letter-6-month-ban-creating-powerful-ai/" target="_blank">called</a> for a six-month moratorium on training A.I. models more powerful than OpenAI’s GPT-4, released in mid-March. In response, Eric Scmidt, Google’s former CEO, argued that <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/04/07/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-against-6-month-a-i-pause-elon-musk-benefit-china-chatgpt-openai/" target="_blank">such a pause</a> would “simply benefit China.”Pichai <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-googles-dont-be-evil-motto-has-evolved-for-ai-age-60-minutes-2023-04-16/" target="_blank">told CBS</a> that society needs “regulations to think about how to adapt” to A.I. He also suggested that <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-googles-dont-be-evil-motto-has-evolved-for-ai-age-60-minutes-2023-04-16/" target="_blank">he wanted</a> to avoid a race, “where people working on [A.I.] across companies get caught up in who’s first, that we lose the potential pitfalls and downsides to it.”Yet, internally, Google may be more worried about competition than its leaders might publicly admit.The company was spooked in March by the possibility that <a href="https://fortune.com/company/samsung-electronics/" target="_blank">Samsung</a>, the world’s largest smartphone brand and a user of Google’s Android operating system for its phones, was considering removing Google as its default search engine, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/technology/google-search-engine-ai.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>.The news that Samsung might look elsewhere for search sent the company into a “panic,” according to internal documents seen by the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/technology/google-search-engine-ai.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>, and employees were quickly tasked with putting together a pitch document for Samsung.<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-engineers-went-panic-samsung-094527538.html" target="_blank">https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-engineers-went-panic-samsung-094527538.html</a></blockquote>
