Google AI is a division of Google dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence research and development. Established in 2017, it focuses on integrating AI across Google’s products to enhance functionality and user engagement. The division has been instrumental in developing technologies such as TensorFlow, an open-source machine learning framework, and Google Assistant, a virtual assistant that leverages AI to provide personalized user interactions.
In December 2024, Google AI introduced Gemini 2.0, its most advanced AI model designed to interpret images, perform tasks, and engage in complex reasoning. This model represents a significant leap in AI capabilities, aiming to anticipate user needs and act autonomously under supervision. Additionally, Google AI has been exploring AI agents like Project Astra and Project Mariner, which assist users in real-time tasks such as online shopping and information retrieval, marking a new era in AI-driven user assistance.
