Google CEO Sundar Pichai speaks on-stage during the Google I/O keynote session at the Google Developers Conference in Mountain View, California, on May 10, 2023. Google wants to "supercharge" its seven-year-old smart assistant using new advancements in generative artificial intelligence, as part of the latest major reorganization of the Assistant unit. A portion of the Assistant team has already started working on the efforts, Ranjan added. As a part of the reorganization, executives announced a dozen changes to the company's "Speech" team, which oversees voice commands. Some members of the Speech team will focus their efforts specifically on Bard, she wrote.
