The cloud boss thinks that the artificial intelligence hype on the dotcom bubble is greedy
A Conversation with Selipsky about the Silicon Valley: AI Services and the Google One Embedded Platform, and the Response of Google to Silicon Valley Collapse
When expectations were high that the internet would change many industries, Selipsky compares the artificial intelligence rush to the dotcom bubble. Although in the long term the internet was indeed transformative, in the short term many projects came to nothing, and swathes of Silicon Valley companies went bust.
Selipsky first joined AWS as a marketing executive in 2005 but left in 2016 to become CEO of analytics company Tableau, which was later sold to Salesforce. He was hired by Andy Jassy, who was given the position to replace Jeff Bezos as Amazon CEO, when he was still employed by Selipsky.
Hsiao said Google also gave a hundred leading AI experts access to the advanced version of Gemini and asked them to challenge the bot with complex requests. “They’ve been really excited and giving us really positive feedback.”
The new bundle from Google is significantly more than the subscription to OpenAI. It costs $20 a month. The service has access to the most powerful version of the company’s chatbot and a new “GTP store”, which is a place where developers can create custom chatbot functions. With the same monthly price, the same features, and a better search experience, Google One customers have more to offer.
When OpenAI’s ChatGPT opened a new era in tech, the industry’s former AI champ, Google, responded by reorganizing its labs and launching a profusion of sometimes overlapping AI services. The Bard, Duet, and a version of search were part of this.
