The chief executives of tech giants, Google and Microsoft have since Monday continually mentioned the trending  hyped technology, AI, which has just recently gained more attention than before.

According to the transcript from the conference reviewed by Reuters, the tech executives repeated phrases like “AI,” “generative AI,” or “machine learning” for about two to six times more than they did in the last quarter.

The latest major tech rivalry, between Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc. executives, was displayed on the conference call front lines. Alphabet appeared to surpass its rivals on Thursday.

The Google-owner mentioned AI 45 times, more than the 13 times it was called at the end of last quarter. This is more than Microsoft, whose call mentioned AI 39 times, which was more than the 15 times it was called in the previous quarter.

The introduction of software that can generate text and graphics digitally, as demonstrated by ChatGPT, a chatbot from the startup OpenAI, has sparked a scramble for companies to incorporate AI into more products and for investors to place bets on which one will lead.

According to Reuters, the efforts of Microsoft as an investor in OpenAI towards making ChatGPT accessible to customers and other plans have posed a new competition threat to Alphabet, Google’s parent company.

Observers in the Industry have said, the inclusion of human-like, ChatGPT-style responses in Microsoft’s Bing search engine could offer it an advantage over Alphabet’s Google, which has long been the market leader in information search, according to industry observers.

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai stated that Google remained in the game, in response to the obsession of the public with ChatGPT.

In his words, “We’ll pursue this work boldly, but with a deep sense of responsibility.
“AI software will be an important focus for Alphabet, which is planning to make its own LaMDA chatbot software publicly available in the coming weeks.”

According to Edward Jones analyst, David Heger, Google has been silent about its significant investments in artificial intelligence but opening up about it.

“They were much more vocal about how that benefits pretty much all parts of their business and how they expect that to be further integrated into their business going forward,” David said.
