JAKARTA - The chatbot powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) made by OpenAI, ChatGPT, which was recently launched, shocked the world of technology, and of course made Google hot.

Now, according to a report from the NYTimes, Google sees ChatGPT as a threat to its search business and has planned to prepare the chatbot competitor.

The report claims Google CEO Sundar Pichai has declared a "red code" and accelerated AI development.

Google is claimed to demonstrate its search engine version with this year's chatbot feature and reveal more than 20 AI-backed projects, some of which will launch at the I/O conference in May this year.

According to a visual document for Google's AI project, the company is developing an image-making tool, an upgraded AI Test Kitchen version (an application used to test prototypes), TikTok-style green screen mode for YouTube and a tool that can generate videos to summarize other clips.

There is also a feature called Shopping Try-on, wallpaper maker for Pixel phones, and there is an AI-based tool that can make it easier for developers to create Android apps.

Further quoted from Engadget, Saturday, January 21, Pichai reportedly brought Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin last month to meet with current leaders, review AI plans and offer input.

Both Page and Brin, have not been heavily involved with the company daily since 2019, as they focus on other projects. Google has been trying to speed up product approval processes, including inspections to ensure AI-driven technology is fair and ethical.

In addition, the company is said to be adjusting the level of risk it is ready to take when launching the technology, including security, accuracy, and blocking of misinformation.

However, for products and other tools being worked on, Google has lower limits and will try to curb issues related to hatred and toxicity, harm and misinformation than preventing them.

These solutions are also needed to prevent copyright-protected material and prevent personal identity information from being shared.

Just like Google, Microsoft is also taking similar steps on its search engine, Bing. Earlier this month, reports stated that it plans to merge some of the technologies that support ChatGPT into Bing and immediately integrate ChatGPT into its Cloud Azure service.
