The Curious Case of the Missing Google Assistant

Wired  

Google executives hosted the company’s I/O developer conference this week, an annual ritual that has in recent years centered on artificial intelligence. By April, CEO Sundar Pichai began referring to generative AI as a “super-powered assistant”—leaving Google Assistant in the shade. The case of the missing Google Assistant at the AI jamboree this week raises questions about the company’s AI strategy. In response to questions about Google Assistant’s absence from the I/O keynote, company spokesperson Katie Hutchison said that Google Assistant will power some exclusive features in Google’s new foldable smartphone, such as responding to the command “Hey Google, take a selfie.” It will also be available in the new Pixel Tablet. Google Assistant has 700 million monthly users today, Hutchison says, while Bard is “an early experiment.” Experiments and user testing to inform how to apply Bard across Google products are ongoing.
