Google Leaks Information on New AI That ‘Surfs the Web With You’

The AI system, dubbed Jarvis AI, was discovered on the Google Chrome extension store.

Google might be on the way towards launching even more artificial intelligence, with leaked information pointing to a new AI system that can search the web for you.

It’s no secret that Google was well-positioned to dominate the AI game. With decades of search data and more than enough resources, the big tech firm seemed poised to be the clear favorite in the race to AI supremacy.

However, with Gemini remaining a notable second place to ChatGPT and the AI Overviews in Google Search providing more questions than answers, a new AI system might be necessary to make an impact.

Google Accidentally Leaks Jarvis AI

According to a report from The Information, Google has accidentally leaked information about a new AI system.

The system, called Jarvis AI, was spotted in the Google Chrome web browser extension store, with a description that called it “a helpful companion that surfs the web with you.”

The extension was reportedly removed from the Google Chrome web browser extension store later that day, but the news was already leaked.

What Can Jarvis AI Do?

There is little known about Jarvis AI yet, as the accidental leak from Google was as brief as it was short.

Still, the fact that it was listed as an AI companion that can “search the web with you” sounds like the Jarvis AI announced by Google in October that could do everything from book flights to online shop right alongside users.

We’ll have to wait for any official word from Google about what Jarvis AI can do, but given the influx of AI systems in 2024, it’s not hard to guess what could be on the way.

Google Search Woes

To say that Google is in dire need of a facelift to its search and overall web functionality would be an understatement, so this news of a new AI system to maybe improve it is certainly welcomed.

Users across the world have lambasted Google search in recent months, with the rollout of AI Overviews representing a low point for the big tech firm.

Between the system recommending users to drink glue and eat rocks and the endless scroll of advertisements needed to get to results, it’s no wonder the company is looking for a way to change its AI trajectory.
