The US administration announced Thursday that Google would provide artificial intelligence (AI) services for messy prices, while the Internet giant is still waiting for the pronouncement of its sentence for abuse of a dominant position.
The General Services Administration (GSA), which is responsible for the proper functioning of several federal agencies, has concluded an agreement for a “new complete offer”, called “Gemini for the Government”, according to a press release.
Gemini is the Google generator assistant. Like Chatgpt (OpenAI), you can meet several tasks in simple applications in everyday language, from the writing of messages and reports to online research.
“As part of this agreement, Google will provide a variety of AI services and in the cloud destined to accelerate the adoption of the administration,” Gsa said. “Agencies will pay $ 0.47 per agency to access Google AI tools,” he said.
A difficult period for Google
The offer valid until 2026 extended an earlier agreement to provide the tools of the Google work space (office, professional collaboration) to federal agencies at reduced prices.
Several technology giants have recently made similar ads, while all the president of the industry, the president of the United States, Donald Trump. Operai announced at the beginning of the month that the US administration could use its service offer for companies for a symbolic dollar every year.
But for Google, the GSA announcement occurs when the Californian group is waiting for the pronouncement of its sentence, a year after being declared guilty of illegal practices to establish and maintain its monopoly in online investigation.
The United States Ministry of Justice has asked the judge to order Google to sell his Chrome browser, to share certain data with competitors, who no longer pays Apple and other companies to install their predetermined search engine on their devices and limit their investments in other artificial intelligence (AI) companies, among other applications.
Extreme measures according to Google, whose research activity already suffers the pressure of AI attendees, from Chatgpt to perplexity, also capable of looking for information on the Internet.
“We are proud to collaborate with the GSA,” said Google Suendar Pichai chief, quoted in the press release on Thursday. “Gemini for the Government,” according to him, “will allow agencies to access our full approach in terms of innovation in AI, (…), as well as our safe cloud infrastructure, to help them fulfill their essential missions.”
