The tech giant is making this move to catch up to Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud-computing market. Google’s focus on AI reflects the growing importance of this technology in various industries. The race is on among startups to achieve the next big breakthrough in AI. This investment by Google and Amazon demonstrates the increasing interest and competition in the AI sector.
