A leaked internal memo from a Google executive has recently surfaced, expressing serious fears about losing the ongoing AI arms race. The surprising part of this memo is that the exec was not worried about competing tech giants, such as Microsoft or Apple but instead feared that they would be outpaced by other countries and organizations.
The memo highlighted concerns over China’s rapid growth in artificial intelligence technology and its potential to overtake Google’s efforts if it continues at its current pace. Additionally, there were worries expressed about how academic institutions have been able to produce groundbreaking research faster than companies like Google can keep up with.
Google is determined not to let this happen though; their response has been an increased focus on developing new technologies for artificial intelligence applications and investing more resources into researching new methods for advancing machine learning capabilities. They are also working hard to build relationships with universities around the world so they can collaborate on projects together to stay ahead of any competition from abroad or elsewhere in industry circles.
Overall, it appears that while many people may think of Silicon Valley when considering who will win the AI race – according to this leaked internal document–Google believes there are much bigger threats out there than just their competitors.
