Co-founders of Google DeepMind and LinkedIn launch chatbot

The co-founders of Google DeepMind and LinkedIn have launched an artificial intelligence chatbot called Pi, adding to the flood of similar products rolled out publicly this year by the likes of OpenAI, Google and Snap.

The first product from the year-old AI start-up behind Pi, Inflection AI, comes as the growing hype around generative AI drives a surge of investor and consumer interest.
