In 2016, Google’s boss Sundar Pichai was talking about “AI everywhere”. Possible?
Remember what happened with Google Maps.
"Way back in the mists of time," writes John Naughton, "the Google co-founders decided that they would map the entire planet. It was a stupendously expensive and ambitious project, made possible only by the fact that their company had money to burn. But they did it, in the process creating one of the networked world’s most useful resources.
"And now? Try booking a hotel, a restaurant, finding a garage, a sports venue, or almost anything else that has a geographical location, and under “location” on its website you find the relevant segment of a Google map, which is incorporated into the site using the company’s Maps Embed API.
"Something analogous is already beginning to happen with ChatGPT: in time, whenever you encounter a text box on a website or in an app, you’ll find yourself dealing with ChatGPT (or one of its digital peers) courtesy of an API. In this way, Pichai’s idea of “AI everywhere” will be realised, even if the AI in question isn’t particularly intelligent."
Below: these two persons never existed, but were pieced together with digital A.I.
American foreign policy must consider not only the condition of allied nations today but also the direction or trajectory in which they are moving. European leadership restricting freedom of speech and banning entry to peaceful activists cannot be dismissed as purely domestic when it affects American citizens and raises questions about the values on which the transatlantic alliance rests.
