From PC Mag: Google Assistant is undergoing a transformation so that it can take advantage of generative AI.
As Axios reports, an internal email sent to Google employees explains how generative AI has the potential to "transform people's lives" and the company sees "a huge opportunity to explore what a supercharged Assistant, powered by the latest LLM technology, would look like."
Work has already begun on injecting AI into the mobile version of Assistant, but unfortunately, the addition of AI to the virtual assistant is also resulting in some job losses. Google confirms in the email that "we are also eliminating a small number of roles within the team."
Any employee whose role is disappearing will be given a minimum of 60 days to do an internal search for another position within the company.
