Google has been warned by one of its engineers that the company is not in a position to win the artificial intelligence race and could lose out to commonly available AI technology.

However, the worker, identified by Bloomberg as a senior software engineer, wrote that neither company was in a winning position.

Open-source technology developers are not proprietorial and release their work for anyone to use, improve or adapt as they see fit. Historical examples of open-source work include the Linux operating system and LibreOffice, an alternative to Microsoft Office.

Google has been contacted for comment but it is understood that the document is not an official company memo. The Guardian has also contacted the engineer named by Bloomberg for comment.
