Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for August 31, 2023. Google may
have dominated the headlines this week, but it was hardly alone.
Special segments this week include:




ChatGPT Enterprise - What was
announced, where is it headed, and what are the implications?
BTW, you may be interested in the Yammer go-to-market
strategy reference as point 7 in the main article. We
also put ChatGPT Enterprise in perspective alongside Google’s
more ambitious play.




Google Uses Cloud Next to Shift Generative AI
Perception - We go through more than 15
different announcements and the implications for the market
and debate the merit and importance of different moves.




Generative AI winners and losers of the
week.




This week, Eric Schwartz, Voicebot.ai’s head writer, and I were
joined by Google Developer Expert (GDE) Allen Firstenberg to
break down the Google Gen AI Palooza and other top generative AI
stories. Also, if you’d like to hear more from Allen, check out
