Google and Microsoft CEOs Challenge Each Other on AI

At the New York Times' DealBook Summit, Google CEO Sundar Pichai issued a challenge to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for a direct comparison of their AI models, asserting that Microsoft relies on OpenAI's technology. Pichai responded to Nadella's earlier comments, which suggested Google should have dominated the AI race, by stating he would gladly engage in a side-by-side evaluation of their respective models. He dismissed concerns over AI development hitting a wall in 2025, predicting significant advancements in reasoning and sequence completion capabilities. Pichai emphasized Google's ongoing innovation and the expected transformations in its search engine by early 2025, despite facing legal challenges that could affect its business operations. The rivalry between the two tech giants continues to escalate, highlighted by recent accusations from Microsoft against Google regarding anti-competitive practices.
