According to TechSpot, technology giant Google has just announced its commitment to invest more than 100 billion USD in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in the near future, far exceeding the investment level said to be made by competitor Microsoft.
This information was revealed by Demis Hassabis, founder of DeepMind, a leading AI research company acquired by Google in 2014. Speaking at the TED conference in Vancouver (Canada), Hassabis said Google will dedicate resources to This huge capital to develop advanced AI technologies and apply them to many different fields.

Google's goal is to surpass Microsoft in the race to develop AI, especially in the field of artificial generative intelligence (AGI) - a type of AI capable of learning and performing tasks like humans. Microsoft is said to be investing $100 billion in the Stargate project, a supercomputer designed to advance AGI research.
However, Hassabis believes that Google can surpass Microsoft thanks to its abundant financial resources, the world's leading AI talent team, and close cooperation with DeepMind.
A significant portion of Google's investment will likely be spent on developing new AI hardware, such as the recently introduced Arm-based Axion chip. The chip is designed to improve performance and save energy for AI training and cloud services.
Besides hardware, Google will also focus on developing new machine learning algorithms and improving AI learning capabilities through Social Learning. This can help AI become more intelligent and flexible, able to adapt to many different situations and circumstances.
Google's strong commitment to investing in AI shows how important this field is to the company's future. AI is expected to bring many benefits to people in fields such as health, education, transportation, manufacturing and many other fields.
However, AI development also poses many risks, such as the risk of abusing AI for bad purposes or the fact that AI can replace humans in some professions. Therefore, Google needs to ensure AI technologies are developed and used responsibly, towards the common good of the community.
