By GlobalDataGoogle’s first PaLM language model was announced in April 2022.
Last month the company released an API for PaLM to help businesses “generate text, images, code, videos, audio, and more from simple natural language prompts.”
Google is trying to keep up in the generative AI race
The generative AI race continues to rage on between companies, with Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google all rushing to invest in new AI tech.
However, some experts are not convinced that Google will be able to set itself apart from other companies and their AI models.
Eleanor Lightbody, CEO at AI legal automation company, Luminance, told Verdict: “Google has invested heavily in the development of AI technologies but even they have admitted to lacking the ‘secret sauce’ that is going to push them ahead in the industry and I’m not convinced that the launch of PaLM2 is going to fix that.”
Google moved quickly last year to release its Bard AI tool in response to the mass popularity of Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
“What we’re seeing now is an ever-increasing need for skilled AI models, which are specialists in a certain area rather than being a jack of all trades,” Lightbody added.
GlobalData is the parent company of Verdict and its sister publications.
