On Monday, Google unveiled Bard, an artificial intelligence chatbot that it will start deploying in the upcoming weeks. The declaration supports earlier CNBC reporting. Bard will face off against rival ChatGPT, an OpenAI-developed AI service.
LaMDA, or Language Model for Dialogue Applications, is the company’s robust language model and powers Bard. Prior to making the chat technology more broadly accessible to the public, Google will make it available to “trusted testers,” said the company in a Monday blog post.
The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, promised that “Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distil complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web: whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both the piano and the guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner.”
The business presented the example of discussing new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old utilising Bard to clarify hard themes.
