ALPHABET’S Google is developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology that takes over a web browser to complete tasks such as research and shopping, The Information reported on Saturday (Oct 26).
Google is set to demonstrate the product code-named Project Jarvis as soon as December with the release of its next flagship Gemini large language model, the report added, citing sources with direct knowledge of the product.
Microsoft-backed OpenAI also wants its models to conduct research by browsing the web autonomously with the assistance of a “CUA” or a computer-using agent, that can take actions based on its findings, Reuters reported in July.
Anthropic and Google are trying to take the agent concept a step further with software that interacts directly with a person’s computer or browser, the report said.
Google did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. REUTERS
