Alphabet Inc. (NYSE: GOOG), better known as Google, is an American multinational technology company specializing in internet related services and products. Most of its profit comes from AdWords, an ad service next to the Google search results. Google was founded privately by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998 and was eventually incorporated to the public in 2004. Incorporation led to rapid growth, which yielded a chain of different products and a quick rise. In 2013, Google was ranked as the most visited website, with over one million servers and over one billion requests for each server every day. Google is currently ranked 3rdin the world in terms of most valued companies with its brand valued at over $65 billion. But Google couldn’t have done all of this without its extensive use in artificial intelligence, as artificial intelligence has been taking over the world. Starting with the first Android phone in 2007 and continuing with the Google glass and most recently with the TensorFlow engine, and the talks with Ford about a self-driving car, Google has relied heavily on artificial intelligence during its success.

Android Phone Breakthrough

Android was Google’s breakthrough in terms of AI. First released in 2007, the Android Alpha was the first Google smartphone and the first product to use AI by the company. Since then, Google has launched many more Android phones and has relied more and more on AI. Most famously, Android phones have SILVIA, which is an artificial intelligence system that pretends to be another person and lets you talk to your device like you would talk to another person. SILVIA’s code is so advanced that it is now being used for training and simulation applications by the U.S. military. It is widely regarded as the most advanced intelligence system on the planet. Skyvi is another AI device which is like a Siri for android, and it does things such as voice texting, finding places, and social media updates. Now, eight years after laying the groundwork with the first Android phone, Android has an 80 percent market share, and now Google is using the same trick with artificial intelligence. That has helped Google gain an amazing 144% over the last five years. The use of artificial intelligence in Android has helped the stock of Google rise.
