GAIN 14 - Deep Dive on Google I/O, Bard et al., The White House, Wendy's Bing Chat & More
Top generative AI industry news from the week of May 11th
The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for May 11, 2023, is here. Special guest and GDE Allen Firstenberg joined me to go in-depth on all the Google I/O stories. We talk about Bard, extensions, conversational search, the PaLM and Gemini models, and much more. We also review the “Google Has No [generative AI] Moat” memo.
That is followed by a discussion of Wendy’s adoption Google PaLM for drive-thru order taking, Bing Chat going general availability worldwide, the White House’s efforts around AI, and a developer that created mini-Trip Advisor website targeting families with children with 2370 activities in 237 cities, 2,600 images, and nearly 250,000 words. He did this in two days and spent $53. The implications are significant.
I hope you enjoy the show. Below are some related links if you’d like to read more about the stories we discuss. But don’t miss Allen’s commentary on these items in the video. Given his role as a Google Development Expert and independent ambassador, he has particularly interesting insights into Google’s moves, lack of progress on many fronts, and unrecognized progress on others.
