Who's who in AIAI glossary
The American search giant, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has become a central player in AI with its Gemini models, its DeepMind lab, and its Android XR platform for connected glasses and headsets. It is advancing on two fronts: as a technology provider for the entire industry, and as a defendant in several copyright lawsuits brought by publishers.
In other words
It was in its labs that the Transformer architecture was invented in 2017, the engine behind almost all current AIs.
