Ferra.ru editor-in-chief Yevgeny Kharitonov commented on which of the projects submitted to Rossiyskaya Gazeta will be popular and which will fail.
According to Ferra’s editor-in-chief, Google’s AI projects in general are long overdue attempts to shift the market to itself. But many await the fate of the previous “know-how”. For example, the Bard AI chatbot is an attempt to catch up with industry leaders, but everything can be restricted to use within a particular service, allowing you to gather a specific audience, not anymore.
Simultaneous translation of the video using AI is already available from Yandex. This technology is successfully used in Yandex.Browser. But it’s worth respecting the quality of the translation: Google Translate’s understanding of the context of phrases is one of the best of its kind.
AI features called Converse in Google search will make this search engine even more useful. In fact, this is an analogue of thematic sites, media: the search engine will collect and present information from them in a convenient form, and no one will switch to these resources – the information will be directly on the search results page.
And in general, Evgeny Kharitonov evaluates Google AI projects in this direction. But with regard to mobile devices, in particular the foldable Pixel Fold and the “medium” Pixel 7A, the expert has a different opinion.
According to Kharitonov, Google’s first flexible smartphone, the Pixel Fold, turned out to be a real Pixel. This gadget is strange in many ways (autonomy and performance is worse than that of the “new Chinese” Tecno Phantom V Fold, which is a mid-range processor for half the price, the flagship processor in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, etc.), but in the main metric it makes sense. – camera quality.
But the Google Pixel 7A is “a beautiful and unfortunately underestimated smartphone”. This is the latest smartphone in a body with medium dimensions (6.1” – quite compact compared to the standard 6.9” for modern models), excellent shooting quality on all cameras, water resistance and a long guarantee of Android + high performance updates ( Google’s old model There is no tradition of “ending” the performance of smartphones after 2-3 years of firmware update).
At the same time, Eldar Murtazin, editor-in-chief of the website Mobile-Review.com, believes that Google is interested in developments in the field of artificial intelligence, since the company is seriously involved in the race of these technologies. and creating new neural network models and services based on them. However, according to Murtazin, Pixel mobile devices do not attract much attention and are not much different from their competitors.
