Google is reportedly working on a generative AI technology that can function as a “life coach.” According to internal documents assessed by The New York Times, the AI tool can perform “at least 21 different types of personal and professional tasks”, such as giving life advice, ideas, planning meals and tutorial tips, and more. The report adds that the project indicates Google’s growing efforts to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing Chat. The project also signifies a change in Google’s AI strategy. Before the public launch of ChatGPT, the search giant was cautiously testing generative AI updates only within its internal circles, following warnings from AI safety experts and former staff members.
The report highlights that Google’s in-house AI research lab, DeepMind, has been testing the AI-powered life coach. The company is also reportedly working with Scale AI, a contractor working with Google DeepMind. The tool appears to be a Google Bard and ChatGPT-like chatbot, trained to answer intimate questions.
The AI chatbot is being trained on queries like, “I have a really close friend who is getting married this winter. She was my college roommate and a bridesmaid at my wedding. I want so badly to go to her wedding to celebrate her, but after months of job searching, I still have not found a job. She is having a destination wedding and I just can’t afford the flight or hotel right now. How do I tell her that I won’t be able to come?”
The AI chatbot aims to give recommendations to improve well-being — be it financially or socially. While similar capabilities already exist in Google Bard, the AI chatbot comes with limitations. For instance, the chatbot avoids offering replies on finance, health, and legal-related advice. It appears that the new AI technology aims to solve this shortcoming. The tools are still being evaluated and the company may decide not to employ them.
A DeepMind spokesperson told NYT that Google has worked with a variety of partners to evaluate our research and products across the company. The report adds, “At any time, there are many such evaluations ongoing. Isolated samples of evaluation data are not representative of our product road map.”
It remains unclear whether the new AI life coach will be incorporated into the Bard. Meanwhile, Google is also working on a new AI tool to assist journalists. The new Google AI tool can assist news publications with writing news articles. The tool is being positioned as a personal assistant to journalists and media outlets
