Google has launched a new AI chatbot, Bard, in a move to compete with the rapidly growing success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. CEO Sundar Pichai stated in a blog post that Bard, which is powered by Google’s large language model LaMDA, will be available to trusted testers before being rolled out to the general public in the coming weeks.
Google’s announcement of Bard comes as its search business faces increasing competition from ChatGPT, which has been generating essays, stories, song lyrics, and answering user questions since its public release in November. Microsoft, which is investing billions into OpenAI, is rumored to be planning to integrate ChatGPT into its search engine Bing.
Google’s AI-powered tools will also soon be integrated into its flagship search tool. Pichai emphasized the importance of using AI in a responsible manner, as these tools have the potential to spread biases and misinformation. “Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web,” Pichai wrote, “whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner.”
