A “supercharged” Assistant would be powered by AI tech similar to Bard and ChatGPT.
. In an email obtained by the outlet, Google tells staff members that it has already started exploring a “supercharged” Assistant powered by the newest large language models , similar to the technology behind ChatGPT and Google’s own Bard chatbot. According to the email, “A portion of the team has already started working on this, beginning with mobile.”
As part of this change, Google says it’s condensing the team that works on Assistant. The email obtained bystates that the company is “eliminating a small number of roles,” although it’s unclear how many employees are affected. According toreached out to Google to confirm this, and we’ll update this article if we get more information.
While Google doesn’t elaborate on what kinds of features it plans on bringing to Assistant, there are some pretty big possibilities. For example, Assistant could tap into the same technology that, possibly allowing it to answer questions based on the information it gleans from across the web. “Hundreds of millions of people use the Assistant every month and we’re committed to giving them high quality experiences,” Google spokesperson Jennifer Rodstrom says in a statement to. “We’re excited to explore how LLMs can help us supercharge Assistant and make it even better.”
It’s still not clear when Google plans on bringing this technology to its smart home products, though — and I don’t think a lot of people would be entirely comfortable with that, given the potential privacy implications.
