Google Goes All In On AI By Launching Mariner
Google looks to dominate the AI industry with the official launch of Mariner, a tool built on the Gemini 2.0 platform. Mariner helps users with tasks like browsing spreadsheets, shopping online, and utilizing services, all while keeping the user in control.
 
A Vital Component
Powered by Gemini 2.0, a neural network that processes vast datasets, Mariner can mimic human-like actions, such as pressing buttons to trigger tasks. Google CEO Sundar Pichai described Mariner as a step toward a universal assistant.
Although still experimental, its integration as a Chrome extension highlights its importance to Google and their AI strategy. Gemini 2.0 also supports other Google projects like the Gemini chatbot and AI tools in Google Search.
 
Still A Ways To Go
However, Mariner faces potential regulatory challenges, especially by the U.S. Justice Department. Additionally, Mariner is not yet flawless, with project manager Jaclyn Konzelmann acknowledging that its accuracy remains a work in progress.
The launch of Mariner, coupled with Google releasing their Willow Quantum Chip, reflects an overall ambition by the company to transform user interactions with technology. Meanwhile, other tech companies and start-ups, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are also developing their own AI agents.
