Google has updated the naming convention for its generative AI functions within BigQuery, moving from the 'ML.' prefix to 'AI.'. Specifically, the function for text generation is now referred to as AI.GENERATE_TEXT, replacing the older ML.GENERATE_TEXT. This change impacts how users should write new queries, although existing queries using the old naming will continue to function. The article provides guidance on using the new function, including requirements for the 'prompt' column in subqueries and recommended STRUCT arguments like temperature and max_output_tokens to control cost and output.
