Google Gemini’s artificial intelligence chatbot has experienced a massive peak in its number of users, but its levels of use are still well behind the rivals like Chatgpt and Meta AI, revealed the data revealed in court this week.
At the end of March, Gemini recorded 350 million monthly active users and 35 million daily active users, according to a slide displayed by Google Attorneys on Wednesday on the third day of a court audience to determine how to remedy the monopoly of illegal online research of the technological empire.
User data has been shown by Google in a Washington Federal audience room, DC, during the testimony of Sissie Hsiao, which until the beginning of the month served as chief of Gemini and led the effort to create the chatbot. The Ministry of Justice described Hsiao as one of its witnesses in the Antitrust case.
Google has shown data as a means of highlighting the competitive nature of generative AI space. Gemini was launched in 2023 and although his daily use was almost quadrupled compared to the 9 million daily active users he recorded in October from last year, the Chatgpt and Meta AI of Openai still led the pack, the slide showed.
Google slide estimated active monthly chatgpt users at 600 million and Meta AI at 800 million.
Google displayed this slide during the remedies phase of the company’s antitrust research case. Google
During a call for results in January, Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg – who testified last week in his company’s own antitrust trial – said that the use of Meta Ai “continues to lie down” with more than 700 million monthly active users.
“I expect it to be the year when a very intelligent and personalized AI assistant reaches more than a billion people, and I expect Meta IA to be the head assistant,” said Zuckerberg.
Openai CEO Sam Altman said this month in a TED interview that Chatgpt had 500 million weekly active users and added that the chatbot “grew very quickly”.
“You told me that it doubled in a few weeks,” head of Ted Chris Anderson told Altman. “I said it in private, but I guess …” replied Altman, before lying down.
“It grows very quickly,” he added.
While on the stand of witnesses in the antitrust case of Google, Hsiao testified about the rapidly evolving rhythm of the generative world of AI.
The so-called phase of remedies of the legal battle between Google and the Doj started on Monday and this could lead to a massive upheaval in the technology giant of $ 1.8 billion.
The American district judge Amit Mehta will finally determine the fate of Google after having ruled in August, following a 10 -week trial, that Google violated the American antitrust law to maintain a monopoly with its online research activities.
If the Doj is making its way, Google could be forced to sell its precious Chrome web browser, to end its exclusive agreements with Apple and others to make Google the default search engine on web browsers and smartphones and share search data with competitors.
The lawyer for the Ministry of Justice, David Dahlquist, said in his declaration of opening on Monday that the court should prevent Google from using its research monopoly to dominate the AI market.
Google lawyer John Schmidtlein argued that Chatgpt is doing very well.
The court hearing is expected to take place for three weeks. The judge is expected to make his appeal decision by the end of the summer.
Google has promised to appeal to Mehta’s decision, who declared a monopolist technology giant.
