Google said that it will release a conversational chatbot called Bard. Google is setting up an artificial intelligence clash with Microsoft, which has invested billions in creating ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a highly popular language program that effectively mimics human writing.
OpenAI, a San Francisco firm, created ChatGPT. ChatGPT can compose essays, poems, or computer code in response to commands in a matter of seconds. However, it has aroused concerns about cheating or the extinction of entire professions.
The ChatGPT software is anticipated to be adapted to Microsoft’s Office suite and Bing search engine. Microsoft said last month that it was supporting OpenAI and has started integrating ChatGPT features into its Teams platform.
The inclusion in Bing shifted attention to Google and rumors that the company’s globally dominant search engine would experience unprecedented competition from an AI-powered rival.
According to media accounts, Google deemed ChatGPT’s unexpected popularity as a “code red” danger. Moreover, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the founders of Google, were brought back to brainstorm ideas and expedite a response.
The urgency to act was heightened by Alphabet’s disappointing profits last week, which fell short of investor expectations. The business announced 12,000 job cuts last month as it increased its focus on AI programs.
The fact that Google made its announcement on the eve of Microsoft’s AI-related launch event is just another indication that the two tech titans will compete for control of the technology, also known as generative AI.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s response
According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Bard conversational AI will be tested in the next weeks. The goal of Bard is to make it more broadly accessible. Google’s Bard has been in development for a number of years. Furthermore, it is based on LaMDA, the company’s Language Model for Dialogue Applications technology.
