American IT giant Google has announced that it will change the name of its generative AI service, which allows users to input questions and create answers in natural documents, to "Gemini" and add smartphone apps and paid plans. The competition to develop generative AI is becoming increasingly intense.
Google announced on the 8th that it will change the name of its interactive generative AI service ``Bard'' to ``Gemini.''
"Gemini" is the name of a new technology released in December last year that powers generative AI that can simultaneously understand not only text but also images and sounds, and provide highly accurate answers and suggestions.
In line with the name change, they have also announced that they will be adding smartphone apps and paid plans to strengthen their services.
The use of generative AI has been rapidly expanding around the world since Open AI, an American venture company invested by IT giant Microsoft, released ChatGPT in November of last year.
Google's enhancement of its generative AI service is seen to be aimed at competing with open AI and Microsoft, and development competition is becoming more intense.
