Google Assistant is said to be shifting towards generative AI

Google is reportedly upgrading its Assistant using large language model (LLM) technology, spurred by a realization that it had been complacently using a form of artificial intelligence (AI) for a decade, according to an internal email reported by Axios. The Assistant team leads see a huge potential in LLM-powered Assistant, leading to some organizational changes. LLMs have been used in chatbots and assistants, though their practical functionality remains uncertain. Despite this, Google is starting to prepare for its potential use in its technology.
