Google to spend $100 billion on AI development

Google's artificial intelligence initiatives are led by DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, who co-founded the startup acquired by Alphabet in 2014.

As 3Dnews reports, he said Google will spend more than $100 billion on the development of artificial intelligence systems in the coming years.

Hassabis made this comment at a TED conference in Vancouver, as Bloomberg explains, when asked about the potential $100 billion Stargate supercomputer that Microsoft and OpenAI are allegedly preparing to jointly build.

Without wanting to go into details, a Google spokesman said that the corporation will spend more than $100bn over time to develop its artificial intelligence systems. According to him, Google surpasses Microsoft in terms of its computing power.

"This is one of the reasons why we partnered with Google in 2014, as we knew even then that we would need a lot of computing power to build strong artificial intelligence (AGI)," the DeepMind co-founder emphasised, adding, "Even then it was already evident, and Google continues to have the most productive computers.

According to Hassabis, the public interest generated by OpenAI's ChatGPT proves that the public is ready to accept artificial intelligence systems, even if they are far from perfect and full of bugs.
