ChatGPT’s Meteoric Rise

“The numbers could help quiet the small but growing group of naysayers that are asking to see bigger and quicker revenue from AI chatbots and other tools.”

Meta’s AI Expansion

Facebook-owner Meta has also reported a significant increase in the usage of its AI features. With 400 million monthly users and 185 million weekly users, Meta’s AI tools are gaining traction among its vast user base. The company’s Llama model, available for free, has seen a doubling in usage between May and July, highlighting its competitive edge against paid models like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.

• Meta’s AI features reach 400 million monthly users.
• Llama model usage doubled between May and July.

“The use of AI by Meta’s more than three billion users was ‘growing quickly, and we haven’t even rolled out in UK, Brazil, or EU yet,’ CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg said in post on Threads.”

Google’s AI Comeback

Google, despite its early lead in developing generative AI, has faced criticism for lagging behind its rivals. However, the search engine giant is making a comeback with its Gemini chatbot, now integrated across all its products. Google has also reintroduced its AI image generator to premium and business customers after addressing previous controversies.

• Google’s Gemini chatbot is now included across all its products.
• AI image generator reintroduced after addressing controversies.

“Google earlier this year suspended generating images of people after Gemini was discovered to be creating diverse but historically inaccurate images, such as Asian Nazis during World War II or a George Washington who was Black.”

The Future of AI in Asia
