Google's Gemini Gains on ChatGPT
David Woodward, a 42-year-old executive at Google, took charge of the Gemini app in April 2023.
Under his leadership, Google's AI capabilities improved a lot, making Gemini a strong competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Gemini's market share has tripled in the past year, while ChatGPT's dominance has weakened.
This is because Gemini is built into Google's products like Chrome and Gmail, making it easy for users to access.
OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, sent a 'code red' memo to his team to focus on improving ChatGPT.
Investors are also noticing Gemini's success, as Alphabet's stock has risen significantly.
