Google has unwittingly leaked its new Artificial Intelligence (AI), “Jarvis,” revealing the tech giant’s latest developments in AI.
The leaked documents, initially published on Google’s own cloud platform, were quickly removed, but not before revealing an AI agent capable of browsing the internet and retrieving information autonomously.
This leak comes days after the leak of OpenAI’s o1 model, which revealed a new model capable of analyzing images and accessing tools such as web search and data analysis. It also comes less than a week after ChatGPT Search rolled out and is similar to Anthropic’s latest beta project, which allows Claude to take control of a user’s computer through a series of screenshots updated.
According to The Information, sources close to Google suggest that Jarvis was intended for internal pilot testing before a possible public release. Still, the unanticipated disclosure has accelerated speculation about Google’s timeline for officially unveiling AI.
Jarvis might visit websites, make online purchases with your permission and even fill out forms. Chrome-based AI would be the biggest upgrade since the browser launched in 2008.
Unlike existing AI tools that rely on pre-loaded data, Jarvis is designed to search the web, giving users the ability to retrieve data in real-time, bypassing traditional search engines. Its functionality appears to be an extension of Google’s Bard AI, combining natural language understanding with advanced data retrieval capabilities.
