Salesforce CEO praises Google's Gemini Live as the future of consumer AI

In a recent post on social media, Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce.com, expressed his admiration for Alphabet’s artificial intelligence voice assistant, Gemini Live. Benioff praised the tool for its zero latency and labeled it the “future of consumer AI.” He also commended Google CEO Sundar Pichai for the innovation. Benioff’s positive review of Gemini Live comes after his public criticism of Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, which he had previously described as “disappointing.”

Gemini Live is a smartphone app that allows users to interact with an AI chatbot through natural conversation. It was made available on Apple’s App Store a few months after Google made the virtual assistant free for users. The app has been receiving positive feedback for its seamless voice interaction and its potential to transform the consumer AI experience.

This endorsement from Benioff holds significant weight in the ongoing AI race among tech giants. It highlights the growing importance of AI in both consumer and business applications and the increasing competition among companies to develop cutting-edge AI tools. With Elon Musk recently predicting that AI will surpass doctors and lawyers, the rapid advancements in AI technology and its potential to revolutionize various industries are becoming more apparent.

While Google’s Gemini Live is making waves in the AI space, OpenAI is also making its mark. OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 recently outperformed medical professionals in diagnosing illnesses, raising further excitement about the capabilities of AI. OpenAI is planning to launch a new AI agent codenamed “Operator” in January, adding yet another layer to the ongoing AI competition.

The race for AI supremacy is far from over, with companies continuously pushing the boundaries of what AI can accomplish. As AI tools become more advanced and accessible, they have the potential to transform how we interact with technology and revolutionize a wide range of industries. The future of consumer AI is bright, and Gemini Live is just one example of the groundbreaking innovations that await us.
