16 Year Google Veteran Slams Sundar Pichai's AI Efforts, Says Projects Driven By 'Panic:' Compares It To Failed Social Network Google+
A former Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google engineer criticized the Sundar Pichai-led company's AI projects, saying they were driven by "panic" rather than user needs.
谷歌前Alphabet Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOG）（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOG）的一位前谷歌工程師批評了桑達爾·皮查伊領導的公司的人工智能項目，稱這些項目是由於 “恐慌” 而不是用戶需求驅動的。
What Happened: The former Google engineer, Scott Jenson, who left the company last month after working there for 16 years, expressed his concerns about the AI projects he worked on at Google.
發生了什麼：谷歌前工程師斯科特·簡森在谷歌工作了16年後於上個月離開了公司，他對他在谷歌從事的人工智能項目表示擔憂。
He said that these projects were not user-driven but rather motivated by a fear of being left behind.
他說，這些項目不是用戶驅動的，而是出於害怕被拋在後面的動機。
The engineer also drew a parallel between the current AI endeavors and Google's previous failure with Google+ 13 years ago, which was a reaction to Facebook. He also mentioned that Apple is pursuing a similar AI lock-in with Siri.
這位工程師還將當前的人工智能努力與13年前谷歌+的失敗相提並論，後者是對Facebook的反應。他還提到，蘋果正在尋求與Siri進行類似的人工智能鎖定。
Google did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

"The vision is that there will be a Tony Stark-like Jarvis assistant in your phone that locks you into their ecosystem so hard that you'll never leave. That vision is pure catnip."
“我們的願景是，你的手機中會有一個像託尼·斯塔克一樣的賈維斯助手，它將你鎖定在他們的生態系統中，以至於你永遠不會離開。這個願景純屬貓薄荷。”
"When the emperor, eventually, has no clothes, they'll be lapped by someone thinking bigger," Jenson wrote, suggesting that the current approach may not be sustainable in the long run.
簡森寫道：“當皇帝最終沒有衣服時，他們會被一個想得更大的人打一巴掌，” 他暗示目前的方針從長遠來看可能不可持續。
Why It Matters: This criticism comes at a time when Google is said to be about six months behind OpenAI in AI development, according to Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster.
爲何重要：根據深水資產管理公司的吉恩·芒斯特的說法，這種批評是在據說谷歌在人工智能開發方面落後OpenAI大約六個月之際提出的。
However, this is not the first time Google's AI efforts have come under scrutiny. Earlier this year, employees criticized the company's leadership for a lack of vision, and in 2023, a former Google employee called out CEO Sundar Pichai for a lack of visionary leadership.
但是，這不是谷歌的人工智能努力第一次受到審查。今年早些時候，員工批評公司的領導層缺乏遠見。2023年，谷歌的一位前僱員稱首席執行官桑達爾·皮查伊缺乏遠見卓識的領導能力。
