Google Introduces BARD to Compete with Microsoft's OpenAI ChatGPT

Google introduces BARD, an AI chatbot that will compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing Chat.

Google has announced BARD, an AI chatbot built to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Bing search engine chatbot.

Google defines Bard as an early AI project to boost productivity, accelerate ideas, and stimulate curiosity in a blog post.

You may utilize BARD to seek advice, explanations, or creative help with activities like planning blog entries.

Google's goal with BARD is to consolidate its presence in the AI chatbot area while preserving its market dominance in search.

BARD is driven by a large language model (LLM) for research - a lightweight and optimized version of LaMDA.

It will be upgraded over time with increasingly advanced models. LLMs grow better at anticipating good answers as more individuals use them.

BARD is intended to supplement Google Search by allowing users to examine its results or explore sources throughout the web.

Instead of being incorporated into Google's search engine, BARD operates as an independent webpage with a single inquiry field.

This strategic initiative aims to integrate new AI technologies while keeping its search engine business profitable.

Google's cautious approach to BARD's deployment is in response to competitors' concerns about unpredictable and often faulty chatbot technology.

Google knows that LLMs can generate biased, misleading, or inaccurate information at times.

To address these concerns, Google allows you to select from a few versions of BARD's response.

You can keep working with BARD by asking follow-up questions or seeking alternate responses.

Google's AI Product Launch Race

Google has placed AI as its primary goal since the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's launch of chatbot technology in Bing.

Internal teams within the corporation, including AI safety researchers, are collaborating to expedite clearance for a variety of new AI products.

Google's BARD effort is driven by its AI Principles, which emphasize quality and safety.

Human input and assessment are used by the firm to improve its processes. To keep discussions useful and on-topic, it has introduced safeguards such as limiting the number of exchanges in a dialogue.

In the works Since 2015

Since 2015, Google has been working on the technology that powers BARD.
BARD, like OpenAI and Microsoft's chatbots, has not been published to a wider public owing to worries about creating untrustworthy information and potential biases against specific groups.

Google recognizes these concerns and intends to bring BARD to market responsibly.
