USA: Following Microsoft's announcement of ChatGPT-powered Bing, Google set up the stage for its AI-focused "Live from Paris" event in Paris. Google slowly introduced AI into some of its well-known services, such as Search and Maps, as well as provided a sneak peek at Bard, its ChatGPT rival. Google Lens also received some updates, but nothing as revolutionary as some had hoped.

For the first time in a long time, Google has discovered a worthy rival in OpenAI's AI chatbot ChatGPT. The chatbot is widely regarded as the next step in the development of internet search. The fact that Microsoft is involved adds heat to this conflict. The tech giant has made its intentions clear by investing billions in OpenAI: to challenge Google's hegemony.

Bard was supposed to be the event's standout performer. Particularly in light of the recent Microsoft event where it unveiled a "copilot" chat experience for Bing and Edge. That wasn't the case, though. We only got a small glimpse of what Bard would look like. The conversational service is already accessible to "trusted testers," as we already know.

One of the main attractions of the event was Google Lens' multisearch. Using both text and an image to search for something is helpful. For instance, you can take a picture of a shirt and enter the colour you want to buy it in if you like it but don't like the colour. Globally, the feature has been implemented by the company.

Google also demonstrated "multisearch near me," which enables you to look for items like a specific dish or a specific item close by. Currently, it is only accessible in the US. Android users will soon be able to use Google Lens to conduct text and image searches without ever leaving the current screen.

Previously only available for landmarks, Immersive View is now being made available in five cities: London, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Tokyo. Users can virtually fly over buildings to inspect entrances, traffic patterns, and even busy areas. Users can use the time slider to view how a location appears at various times.

Users can also get a sense of how a venue inside looks with Immersive View before they visit. Google does this with the aid of neural radiance fields (NeRF), an AI method that creates a 3D-rendered scene out of multiple still images taken from various angles by mapping colour and light. Walkthroughs that can be explored are made using NeRF.

Google is also releasing some brand-new tools to support EV drivers. For quick trips, Google Maps will recommend charging stations, and charging station searches will have a "very fast" filter. When you search for locations like hotels or supermarkets, charging stations will also be displayed (if available). These functions will become available for EVs with integrated Google Maps.
