Google moves away from revealing too much before it is baked, after creating the foundational tech which powers AI systems like ChatGPT only to be out-flanked.

Google plans to hide A.I. discoveries. Google’s head of A.I., Jeff Dean, used to encourage researchers to publish academic papers. But in February, the policy changed. That’s because a foundational part of the latest A.I. tech, including ChatGPT, originated in a Google study. Google now plans to share research only after it’s been turned into products, the Washington Post reported, citing two anonymous sources. Not all are okay with such restrictions, causing some researchers to leave.
