Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Google turns 25: Can the search engine giant survive in AI age?” – below is their description.
The world’s most popular search engine Google has turned 25.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin started it as a research project when they were both doing their PhDs at Stanford University.
The name comes from the mathematical term googol which refers to the number one followed by one hundred zeros.
It reflects Page and Brin’s intention to organise large amounts of information.
As of last month, Google had a global market share of about 92 percent.
Its nearest competitor, Bing, held about three percent while Yahoo at just over one percent.
In 1998, Page and Brin received $100,000 investment for their idea. Now the company is valued over $1.7 trillion.
With the introduction of AI tools, including Google’s Bard and the recently announced Gemini (a direct competitor to ChatGPT), Google is set to revolutionise search once again.
