International companies are turning to developing chips and computers and integrating chatbots into their services, in light of the intense competition between the two companies.Google“And”Microsoft“and”Apple“and”dead“And”Amazon“And Alphabet and others to develop new business paths for their activities in artificial intelligence and enhance their influence in this sector, according to a new research paper prepared by the Interregional Center for Strategic Analyzes in Abu Dhabi.
Technology companies’ interest is related to applications artificial intelligence There are a number of main motivators, most notably: the presence of countless products in which artificial intelligence can be employed, which explains the huge investments made by major technology companies in this field.
Large investments
The investments of major international companies in artificial intelligence are linked to consolidating their technological reputation and obtaining precedence in the field, in addition to their fear of exposure to financial losses due to the decline of their innovation machine and thus their great financial loss.
While a report by The Economist magazine showed that Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft have allocated about $400 billion for investments related to artificial intelligence and research and development during 2024.
“Bank expected”Goldman SachsThe volume of investments in artificial intelligence globally will reach $200 billion in 2025, while Bloomberg expects the generative artificial intelligence market to reach $1.3 trillion in 2032.
Google and Microsoft, in addition to other Chinese and international companies, have made large investments with the aim of obtaining a piece of the global artificial intelligence pie, while giant technology companies have merged with other emerging companies, with the aim of acquiring them or financing them to use their products. Facing major Chinese companies in this field.
Google sought to strengthen its presence in the field of artificial intelligence, the robot that responds to instant conversations, “LaMDA,” the chatbot “Bard,” and a new tool to improve the performance of the “Chrome” Internet browser.
Microsoft pumped between 10 billion and 20 billion dollars into Open AI, with the aim of developing artificial intelligence research on the one hand, and integrating it into its products.
In addition to launching a number of chatbots, Microsoft is working on updating its search engine, Bing, and the Internet browser, Edge, while supporting both with artificial intelligence, through which new features can be introduced to some applications that are used with Microsoft systems. Windows” for computers, in addition to integrating the “GPT Chat” application with some “Office” applications.
The company “Meta” announced the development of a supercomputer running artificial intelligence under the name AI Research SuperCluster, which may be the fastest in the world. The company also announced the PyTorch Foundation to advance research in the sector.
Apple has become one of the most American companies that has acquired companies specialized in artificial intelligence with the aim of developing its assistant (Siri) in fierce competition with Google and Microsoft.
Among Apple’s deals, highlights are its acquisition of machine learning startup Inductiv, Irish audio technology startup Voysis, and the digital book store Apple Books.
Oracle issued a new update to some of its cloud services for mobile devices to include enhanced capabilities with artificial intelligence.
Threat to startups
The Interregional Center stated that major technology companies fear the “innovation dilemma,” which is clearly evident in the case of Google, whose throne may be threatened by the application of “GPT Chat.” Without continuous development of their technologies and directing more attention to artificial intelligence, some emerging or rising companies (alone or with funding from leading technology companies) may be able to introduce new innovations that threaten technology giants.
China is a strong competitor
The Interregional Center said: China In particular, it is intensifying its investments in the field of artificial intelligence, which has become at the heart of its strategic technological and economic plans, which means that American technology companies are not only competing with each other, but also competing with major Chinese companies.
At the forefront of these companies is Baidu, the Chinese research giant that has intensified its investments in the field of self-driving cars. SenseTime has also launched smart surveillance cameras that track traffic accidents and illegally parked cars.
