Google CEO: AI development is finally slowing down—‘the low-hanging fruit is gone’

  • OpenAI’s ChatGPT launch two years ago sparked global interest in generative AI.
  • The competitive landscape now includes multiple tech giants, like Google, with similar models.
  • Sundar Pichai stated at the DealBook Summit that the era of easy advancements in AI is over.
  • Pichai highlighted the need for deeper breakthroughs as progress becomes more challenging.
  • Current language models — like ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini or Meta’s Llama — will keep getting incrementally better
  • But another seismic shift that changes the way most people think about or envision AI is unlikely to happen within the next year, said Pichai.
