A senior software engineer at Google, Luke Sernau, published an analysis in April warning that Google is losing its edge in AI.
Google's focus on competing with startup OpenAI has made it overlook the rapid developments occurring in open source technology.
Engineers within open-source communities are advancing models that rival those from big tech companies and could be made more cheaply.
These models may be faster, more customizable, and more useful than Google's offerings.
Sernau called on the company to shift its focus towards smaller, nimbler models as giant models were slowing them down.
Open-source communities pose the real threat to Google's position as leaders in AI.
Sundar Pichai warned it could be "very harmful" if regulations around AI are not implemented thoughtfully.
