Google is back in the game after losing its lead in AI by releasing advanced models and technologies.
Revival of Google through AI
In December, Google launched new AI models and tools, sparking investor enthusiasm. The company's stock rose to a record $199.91, and its market cap reached $2.3 trillion. The launch of the advanced AI model, Gemini 2.0, along with projects Mariner and Astra, marked impressive results in the tech sphere.
Competitors and their Challenges
Despite successes, Google faces serious competition. Microsoft maintains its edge thanks to its partnership with OpenAI, while Elon Musk's xAI is developing the Colossus supercomputer. Additionally, Google faces legal challenges from the US Department of Justice.
Internal Company Issues
Within the company, there are issues as well. Internal competition delayed the launch of Gemini, negatively impacting reputation after Bard's unsuccessful presentation. Discontent among staff relates to fragmented leadership and the lack of a sense of urgency in decision-making.
While Google faces many external and internal challenges, new technological developments create potential for a return to leadership in artificial intelligence.
