How Google is Winning the AI Race

Google is making waves in the AI world. It's not just about a recent win in court. The company is leading the pack, and it's doing so in a smart way. One big reason is Gemini, Google's chatbot. More people are using it, especially since Google added new tools for making pictures. This has helped Google's stock price go up. Google also makes its own computer chips, called TPUs. These chips are better at handling tough AI tasks than those from other companies. They last longer and make work 50% more efficient. This is making developers choose Google's tech, even if it's more expensive. Unlike some other AI companies, Google is already making money in many ways. Companies like OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, are still spending a lot and not making much back. Google's business model is like big oil companies. It controls everything from making its own chips to running data centers and managing software. This is called vertical integration. It's a strategy that has worked well for other big companies. Google's customers trust its brand and know it can deliver. This makes them more likely to use Google's AI solutions. But here's a big question: Is Google winning the AI race without even knowing how to measure its profits? Right now, the market seems to think so.
