The AI Craze

In the opening keynote at Google’s  annual developer conference on Wednesday the term ‘AI’ was mentioned 140 times in two hours, says CNET.

Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple collectively mentioned the term “AI” almost 200 times in their latest earnings calls, up from less than 40 mentions a year ago.

Clearly, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft are much more involved in the AI craze than Amazon and Apple.


On Wednesday, Google unveiled its next generation AI system PaLM 2, a so-called ‘state-of-the-art language model’, which is, says Google’s  Zoubin Ghahramani “good at math, coding, reasoning, multilingual translation and natural language generation.”
