Google Assistant could get lots of generative AI technology soon

It looks like Google Assistant will soon have some generative AI technology (like seemingly everything else in the world). In an internal email obtained by Axios, two high-ranking Google executives spoke about the need for “assistive, conversational technology.” Peeyush Ranjan, GM and VP of Google Pay and Next Billion Users, and Duke Dukellis, Director of Product Management, said the company should prioritize work to address “people’s strong desire for assistive, conversational technology that can improve their lives.”
