Apparently, Google will begin to hide its discoveries in the AI ​​segment. According to The Washington Post, Google search engine leader Jeff Dean has moved from encouraging researchers to publish scientific papers to position disclose technological advances only after they have become products.

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers from the Google division published about 500 studies. But after, what caused the change? This is where things get interesting, according to The Washington Post. T of ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) originated from one of these studies open to the public.. With the development of technology, which caused despair in Big Tech, a change in behavior was adopted.

First Google, then the whole world

According to anonymous sources who provided information to The Washington Post, the change in attitude occurred in February. Jeff Dean advised the team to release results only after AI advances become products. Therefore, we can expect that the company should more carefully protect its technological achievements, is now intertwined with advances in AI. Basically to avoid a situation where a company discovers something but ends up falling behind. If before Big Tech took the stand of sharing information with the world without any warning, the advent of OpenAI GPT Chat changed everything.

Recently, the “godfather of artificial intelligence” left Google and cited his concerns about the future of the technology. But he did not leave Google because he did not agree with the company’s actions, on the contrary, he praised Google’s position in relation to Bard. According to him, the decision was made in order to be able to speak openly about the future of AI, with the intention of asking enthusiasts to be careful. Given Jeff Dean’s recent change in attitude, it will be interesting to see if Hinton agrees with the company’s position. Mostly because Hinton is wary of several of the risks that AI could bring to society.
