Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page have typically been hands-off, but Brin is now more involved in advancing AI, including the ChatGPT competitor Google Bard, while Page remains distant.
Sergey Brin's increased presence at Google offices, 3-4 days a week, is linked to the hype around ChatGPT. He's actively involved in the AI team developing Gemini, a next-gen model aiming to surpass ChatGPT and others on the market.
Sergey Brin is actively supporting the hiring process, selecting key personnel after important researchers left. Google's CEO Sundar Pichai welcomes and encourages his involvement, showing no concern.
As per some employees, Sergey Brin has neglected AI for years. He recently had to catch up on the latest developments and acknowledged overlooking Google's Brain division's early work, which pioneered many of today's AI advancements.
After ChatGPT's success, Google rushed to launch Google Bard as its competitor to OpenAI's product. However, Bard was seen as less sophisticated, error-prone, and lacking certain capabilities like coding.
In recent months, Google Bard has made significant progress and is now on par with ChatGPT and Bing Chat. Its integration with Google Lens is among the latest advancements, strengthening its position in the market.
