Google Unintentionally Reveals Existence of Jarvis AI through Inadvertent Leak
Google unintentionally posted a sneak peek of their upcoming AI software, Jarvis AI, on the Chrome extension marketplace before swiftly removing it (as reported by The Information).
Following some early news in October regarding Google's development of a "helpful" web companion, interested users managed to install the extension before it was fundamentally pulled. Alas, they were unable to utilize it due to the software's intricate access permissions that users found challenging to work around.
Jarvis is an AI assistant designed to surf the web on your behalf. Its purpose is to simplify tasks that can be mechanized, allowing you more time to concentrate on more intricate computing tasks. According to The Information, Jarvis is set to debut and become available in December 2024. The working title, Project Jarvis, may undergo changes at a later stage.
An enhanced version of Gemini AI will serve as the engine for this tool. Jarvis will handle tasks such as "conducting research, purchasing items, or scheduling flights." Its sole purpose is to enable users to "automate daily web-based tasks."
The news circulating around Project Jarvis evokes a strong sense of familiarity, given that several other companies have showcased comparable abilities for their new or upcoming AI agents. Anthropic's latest AI creation, Claude AI, fulfills a similar role: it manages your computer for you. It is programmed to learn how to use computers by capturing screenshots and subsequently sending them for analysis to the model to comprehend the screens' contents.
Apple Intelligence also promises to introduce an "onscreen awareness" component. This feature will monitor your activities and use that data to execute tasks more intuitively at a later time.
Microsoft’s Copilot+ Recall is a recent instance that has stirred up concern and discomfort within the community. This AI-powered screenshotting functionality, which is troubling to some, learns about you by amassing your screenshots, including your passwords. In order to better support you, it keeps these screenshots handy, ready to be called upon to help you with your query next time. However, resonating with the controversial idea and the community's negative feedback, Microsoft postponed the release of Recall. It is now anticipated to be released "at a later stage," initially limited to members of the Windows Insider Program.
The upcoming release of Jarvis AI in December 2024 signifies a significant leap in tech's future, utilizing advanced artificial-intelligence to automate daily web-based tasks. Similar to Jarvis, Microsoft's Copilot+ Recall, though delayed due to community concerns, demonstrates tech companies' reliance on artificial-intelligence and its potential integration into our digital lives.
