For over twenty years, “Google” has relied on its search engine to be the main gateway through which most users enter the internet world, which has given it a unique ability to access content on millions of sites around the world. With the shift in focus from searching to obtaining instant answers using artificial intelligence, “Google” is benefiting from a very significant advantage in training its models on web data, an advantage it surpasses all other competitors in. Studies have shown that “Google” collects content from the web at a rate 322% higher than “OpenAI,” the company that developed “ChatGPT,” and it also significantly outperforms other companies such as “Meta” and “Microsoft.”
Experts explain that “Google” has not reached the top spot only because of the enormous amount of data it accesses, but also through the significant technical improvements it has made to “Gemini,” which have made it capable, according to multiple tests, of performing language understanding and logical reasoning tasks similarly or even better than “ChatGPT” and other advanced model systems. However, “ChatGPT” from “OpenAI” still maintains a strong position among users around the world, with a huge user base estimated at billions of weekly interactions, and it is still superior in some uses such as creative conversation and text generation.
Some believe that “Google’s” possession of almost unlimited access to the web and its data may create an unfair advantage in the artificial intelligence race and may lead to a near-monopolistic dominance in the market if policies regulating this area do not emerge soon. These concerns are raised at a time when major companies are racing to provide more powerful and intelligent artificial intelligence models, with expectations of increased competition in the coming years, whether in general applications or in specialized fields such as education, medicine, and law.
