SEARCH ENGINES

Google SGE

Our Report: In a radical change to its business model, Google is considering charging users for content generated by SGE (Search Generative Experience), a search experience that uses AI to provide users with overviews of search topics.

šŸ”‘ Key Points:

  • Googleā€™s AI-powered search features could become part of its existing subscription services, with its traditional search engine still remaining free to use.

  • Itā€™s thought that, although subscribers will pay for AI-generated search response summaries, they will still receive ads, as they will when using the free Google Search.

  • Although Google already charges users for Gemini and extra storage, this move marks the first time itā€™s put one of its core search products behind a paywall. 

šŸ¤Ø Why you should care: Google is contemplating this commercial shake-up as it tries to integrate AI into its search experience (to keep up with competition) while safeguarding its primary revenue sourceā€”its search-related adsā€”which makes $175B p/y.

RECRUITMENT

  • Elon Musk is dramatically raising his AI engineer salaries because OpenAI has been ā€œaggressively recruiting AI engineers with massive compensation offers.ā€

  • He nearly lost key AI scientist Ethan Knight to OpenAI, but managed to convince him to stay with a higher salary and a move to his xAI startup: ā€œIt was either xAI or them.ā€

  • This comes as the battle for AI talent heats up, with Mark Zuckerberg sending personal recruitment emails and offering jobs without interviewing candidates.

TEXT-TO-VIDEO
  • OpenAIā€™s Soraā€”set to be used in Hollywoodā€”has a competitor (Higglesfield) which has created a similar AI-powered video generation tool (Diffuse), but for the masses.

  • Like Sora, Diffuse is powered by a text-to-video modelā€”with a prompt editor that users can use to describe scenesā€”which it will use to generate realistic film footage.

  • But, whereas Sora is probably more for high-end creatives, Diffuse is for ā€œcreators of all typesā€ and could be an alternative for everyday users or social media marketers.

PHOTO EDITOR
  • Smartphone makerā€”OnePlusā€”has revealed its first AI feature, the ā€˜AI Eraserā€™, similar to Google's ā€˜Magic Eraserā€™ that allows users to remove objects from photos.

  • The AI Eraser was built from the ground up, on OnePlusā€™s own, custom large language model (AndesGPT), and will be available on OnePlus devices this month.

  • This move signifies that OnePlus is stepping into the world of AI, establishing that it will continue to ā€œinvest heavily in developing more revolutionary AI-based features.ā€
