A well-known expert blames tech giants for a lack of innovation and fear of competition in the field of artificial intelligence, which is hindering their progress in this field.
AI panic of the giants
Non-competitive fear of innovation
Former Google head Scott Jenson criticizes the company for lack of motivation and panic sentiments in the development of artificial intelligence. In his opinion, Google is afraid of losing out to competition, which is holding back innovation, rather than the desire to satisfy user needs. Jenson clarified that he has worked on limited projects, but his comments relate to the industry's overall approach to AI.
Past failures of Google
The specialist recalled the failure of the social network Google+ in 2011 due to for a similar company response to competition. Google+ closed in 2019 due to low usage. Jenson links this case to Google's current lag in AI.
Criticism of Apple and others
Jenson also criticized Apple for unsuccessful attempts to create an AI assistant Siri. According to him, both technology giants are trying to catch up with OpenAI, but so far they do not have an advantage. Apple executives even tested ChatGPT to update Siri. Apple is reportedly preparing to integrate ChatGPT into iOS.

I agree with Mr. Jenson. Google appears to be driven by a fear of losing out to competition rather than a desire to truly advance AI. 🤔 Their behavior in the situation with Google+ is very indicative. The company was afraid of falling behind Facebook and, in a panic, created a service that users did not really need.
Marcin
I wonder how Google plans to compete with OpenAI and other companies that are already well advanced in AI? 🤨 Judging by Jenson's words, they do not have a clear vision and motivation. They are simply reacting to what their competitors are doing instead of being leaders in the field.
Teodor
Don't you think that the former Google manager's statements are a little biased? 🧐 Perhaps he is simply upset about leaving the company and is now criticizing its approach. After all, Google has invested billions of dollars in AI research.
Grzegorz
That's right, some people here are just mad at Google. 😒 They were also pioneers in the field of AI and were the first to implement many of the technologies we use today. Jenson criticizes the company too harshly, forgetting about its achievements.
Pablo
What about Apple and Siri? 🤔 I always thought their voice assistant was good, but Jenson claims they are also behind on AI. I wonder how they plan to catch up with OpenAI and other competitors?
Михаил
Phew, all this fancy stuff with artificial intelligence again! 😒 In my opinion, complete nonsense and a waste of money. There is nothing better than good old software and human intelligence. This whole race for AI is just a ridiculous trend that will soon pass.

I don't agree with you, Mikhail. AI is the future, and companies that don't develop this technology risk falling behind. 💻 Artificial intelligence is already used in many areas and makes our lives easier. You just need to use it correctly.
Francesco
Jenson is right when he says that panic is a bad advisor. Companies need to develop AI calmly and deliberately, and not react to every move of competitors. 😊 Otherwise, they risk creating a product that no one needs, like Google+ did in its time.
