"GM and Google Collaborate to Revolutionize Automotive AI Technology"

General Motors (GM) is collaborating with Google to explore the implementation of AI technologies across its business. The partnership focuses on generative AI, specifically in the form of conversational AI, and expands on their previous work on GM's OnStar Interactive Virtual Assistant (IVA). Powered by Google Cloud's conversational AI technologies, the IVA system provides users with responses to inquiries and navigation assistance. The potential applications of AI in the automotive industry include vehicle validation, software development, and in-car assistance. GM's executive vice president of software and services, Mike Abbott, believes that generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the vehicle ownership and interaction experience.
