AI overview and Google’s contribution

Google has made meaningful contributions in several areas of the ML and AI space. At a high level, Google has been doing research and development in the ML space for a long time, where they’ve developed frameworks such as TensorFlow, which makes it easier to train ML models. Google also has an extensive library of models that they developed themselves, which can be applied across a variety of data and use cases. One of the most impactful projects in the natural language processing space was the development of the Transformer architecture, the foundation upon which the generative AI revolution was built. What’s interesting about the Transformer architecture is that it is based on the self-attention mechanism, where the model can learn the relationship between words in a sequence without relying on the order of the words. We’ll dive deeper into generative AI models and applications later in this chapter, but it’...
