After 25 years of their mainline product being free, Google is considering AI subscriptions for some of their recent features…
What does this mean for the future of the company and its AI pursuits?
AI Subscriptions and Paywalls
In a move to revamp their business model…
Executives at Google have been discussing the introduction of subscriptions for its AI products…
Including AI-powered search features and their version of ChatGPT, Gemini.
IF THE PLAN MOVES FORWARD, IT WOULD MARK THE FIRST TIME IN COMPANY HISTORY THAT GOOGLE PUT A PAYWALL BEHIND ITS SEARCH FEATURES.
Google is the world’s largest search engine, with over a billion active users. While most of their revenue comes from advertisements…
They’ve also diversified into mobile devices, enterprise products, and productivity tools…
Not to mention another big money maker, their ownership of YouTube.
But as far as AI goes… they’ve been running behind other companies.
When Gemini launched, it was more than faulty…
Causing controversy between fans of Google and their disappointment in the new product.
The new AI Subscriptions will put their AI-powered engine under their service Google One…
Which grants access to their AI chatbot and their suite of tools.
What’s Next For Google?
While the suspicions surrounding AI Subscriptions have raised mixed feelings amongst Google users…
None of the plans have been officially confirmed.
However, engineers at Google have been told to start setting up the initiative just in case.
Be Great,
