In the tech world right now, there is probably nothing more famous or more viral than “ChatGPT”, an incredibly advanced AI chatbot that can hold conversations, answer questions, and even help solve all sorts of problems in ways that leave ordinary people amazed. ChatGPT was developed by OpenAI, a research company led by Sam Altman, whose goal is to design and develop software that can remember and learn various kinds of information and generate sets of text for writing explanations, answers, conversations, and so on. Most importantly, ChatGPT is an AI that learns through a method called Reinforcement Learning from human Feedback (RLHF), meaning that every time a conversation takes place with the AI, it learns and gets progressively better at the quality of its answers.
ChatGPT was opened up for trial use at the end of November 2022, and it quickly became a viral phenomenon. This was evident from the number of Thai influencers who brought it up to talk about, such as Mr. Arm from the 9ARM channel, who explained its background and showcased ChatGPT’s capabilities very well. However, the virality of ChatGPT did not only earn popularity among Thai netizens but also became famous around the world, to the point that Google, the giant Search Engine, issued a Code Red warning and set up a dedicated special team to develop AI that performs better, because it believes that the arrival of ChatGPT could impact Google Search in the future. As for what the details of this matter are, Relevant Audience will take everyone on a deep dive together. If you’re ready, let’s get started.
What is the Code Red from Google?
If we try searching for the meaning of the term “Code Red” on ChatGPT, we will find that ChatGPT defines Code Red as “a term Google uses in cases where there is a significant security threat or some kind of emergency. It is generally used to alert Google employees to set up a special task force to take action and resolve the problem immediately. Aside from issues with the system structure that may have vulnerabilities, it is also an alert in response to natural disasters or other emergencies that could likewise affect Google’s operations.”
The answer obtained from ChatGPT gives a meaning or definition that is fairly reasonable and completely accurate. Because if we look at the meaning of Code Red that Richard Hay, a Technical Lead at Google, once shared as a piece of trivia via Google+ in the “Search Photo of the day” column a long time ago, Google would issue a warning called “Code Red” to alert employees to be “All hands on deck.” Besides the Code Red warning, there is also Code Yellow, which means that all employees “It’s ok to go home and sleep but It Is still a serious situation,” meaning everyone can go home and rest, but the serious situation has not yet been resolved. This is similar to Code Red, but the problem is at a milder level.
Google Issues a Code Red to Set Up a Special Team to Cope with the Arrival of ChatGPT
According to a report from The New York Times, Sundar Pichai, the current CEO of Google, sent a Code Red signal to employees within the company to work on improving AI, as a response to the arrival of an incredibly advanced AI chatbot like ChatGPT. The NYT report further stated that Google is setting up a dedicated special task force to focus more on creating and improving AI Products from Google. In particular, the Google’s Research team in the Trust and Safety division was directly ordered to accelerate the development and launch of “New AI Prototypes and Products,” such as AI that can create artwork and graphics similar to OpenAI’s DALL-E.
Conclusion
The key point from this story comes from the wave of popularity of ChatGPT, which, when it launched to the public, became a subject of debate over whether it is possible that an AI Chatbot could become a new-era Search Engine that not only answers general questions but can also provide advice on writing code for programmers, or even be instructed to write basic, fundamental code. In addition, Sridhar Ramaswamy, who is on Google’s Ad Team, came out and stated that ChatGPT allows users to avoid clicking on Google links that contain ads, which could affect Google’s revenue, which in total accounts for 81% of overall revenue. For these reasons, it is not surprising that Google’s CEO issued a Code Red to accelerate the development of its own AI.
However, anyone who follows news in the AI world is probably fairly familiar with Google’s LaMDa AI, which has been in development for a long time but has not yet been launched because Google still has concerns about certain issues, such as problems with racism or sexism. But it is now certain that very soon, we may see Google rush to launch the LaMDa AI, or it may launch new AI Products at the Google I/O event that will be held in May 2023.
