Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma has heaped praise on Google’s latest search technology, the Multimodal Gemini Model, which allows users to interact with video search by asking live questions verbally. Sharma described the technology as the ‘killer next version of Google Search’.
Google introduced AI-generated answers to online queries, one of the biggest changes to its search engine in 25 years. The Multimodal Gemini Model empowers users to ask questions by speaking directly to the search engine, making video search more intuitive and interactive. Sharma emphasized the practical applications of this technology, noting that Google has found an ‘AI way of search in everyday life’.
At the Google I/O 2024 conference, Sundar Pichai announced additional advancements in AI technology, including Gemini 1.5 Pro and Gemini 1.5 Flash, as well as Project Astra. Google Search team boss Liz Reid highlighted the user-centric approach of the new search experience, stating that users can now ask ‘whatever’s on their mind’ and Google will handle the research and legwork.
