Google搜尋大升級!AI模式追貼ChatGPT?
Google在星期二的I/O大會上首次展示超越其傳統的搜尋產品,並推出了一系列新技術。這些技術未必會取代會給你10個鏈結的主流的搜尋世界,但到未來,這些鏈結在生活上會變得沒有那麼必要,Google正為這毎未來的來臨鋪平了道路。

從內建類似ChatGPT式的人工智能模式(AI Mode)、幫你買東西的AI代理,到重新研發下一代智能眼鏡,Google顯示其如何在AI初創公司和政府反壟斷執法機構雙重威脅下,致力將服務提升到更高層次。
Alphabet(GOOGL)最重要的子公司Google的廣告帝國建立在搜尋平台基礎上,這仍是其最重要業務。但OpenAI(OPAI.PVT)和Perplexity(PEAI.PVT)等公司已開發出能與這帝國競爭的生成式AI搜尋產品。
Google迎擊新對手的的必要,在一場反壟斷聽證會上顯露無遺。蘋果(AAPL)服務業務高級副總裁Eddy Cue透露,通過其Safari瀏覽器的搜尋量在4月倒退,是歷史首次下降。Google是Safari的預設搜尋引擎,這是兩公司每年200億美元協議的一部分,而美國司法部正通過反壟斷官司謀求終止此協議。
Cue將倒退是因為客戶選擇使用ChatGPT等生成式AI服務,但Google反駁,稱其搜尋總體查詢量持續增長。
該報告震撼了華爾街,5月7日消息傳出時,Google股價一度下跌高達7.5%。
自2022年底OpenAI及其合作夥伴微軟(MSFT)對Google搜尋霸主地位開始構成威脅以來,Google一直處於守勢。現在,Google正全力以赴,向客戶和華爾街證明其有能力繼續在搜尋領域中稱霸。
Google搜尋平台最大改變之一是新增「AI模式」(AI Mode)。用戶可以與Google AI進行來回對話,類似於與ChatGPT、Bing或Perplexity的互動。如此公司便毋須放棄傳統搜尋產品,因為AI Mode並非取代搜尋,而是在搜尋中作為一個標籤,類似於圖片、新聞和視頻。此功能會先在美國開放。
AI Mode使用Google的最先進的模型,並利用公司稱為「分散查詢」(query fan-out)的技術。Google表示,此方法將查詢分解為較小的子問題,同時運行多個獨立搜尋。Google解釋,這使AI Mode能執行比傳統搜尋更深入的搜尋。
Google搜尋的「AI概覽」(AI Overviews)也將升級,部分搜尋結果將從AI Mode的最新AI模型中提取信息,作為兩種搜尋選項之間的選擇。
Google表示,還將為AI Mode引入AI代理功能,可以讓軟件執行任務,如儲起客戶想要的產品並完成結帳流程。
AI Mode還新增「試衫」功能,用戶可以上傳自己的圖像,然後看看衣服穿在身上的效果。僅從這些公布可見,Google對AI Mode寄予厚望,有機會成為傳統搜尋產品的接班人。
Google不僅專注於對抗新興AI公司,還致力於應對智能眼鏡的新威脅。Google最大的廣告競爭對手Meta已推出Ray-Ban Meta智能眼鏡,希望這款眼鏡引領消費科技革命。
Meta正在開發其Meta AI為用戶執行搜尋功能,若智能眼鏡持續改進,足以令消費者放棄智能手機,或至少透過眼鏡進行搜尋而減少使用手提電話,則Google可能面臨嚴重危機。
為此,Google重新投入研發,宣布與三星、高通(QCOM)、Warby Parker(WRBY)和Gentle Monster合作,開發自家的智能眼鏡。
智能眼鏡未必能像智能電話多年來那樣成為全球消費者的首選科技。但隨著搜尋業務面臨的威脅增加,Google不能錯過這一機會。
