Bard

Google has launched a conversational AI model, Bard, for what looks like closed beta testing. A direct response to Open AI's Internet sensation, ChatGPT.

Why, the company has been getting knee-deep in Africa’s startup space with accelerators, founders’ funds, and a subsea cable. Google’s CEO also added that from March 2023, Google would start onboarding individual developers, creators, and enterprises to build innovative applications with its Generative language API. The distinctive features of the Pixel phones, for instance, are powered by AI. Companies like South Africa’s Foondamate use AI to help students study for important exams to great results. “We’ll combine external feedback with our internal testing to ensure Bard’s responses meet a high bar for quality, safety, and groundedness in real-world information. Companies use ChatGPT’s Application Programming Interface (API) to develop AI for highly specialised tasks in different industries. However, Google already seems to have an answer. Microsoft seemingly has a head start with ChatGPT, so the next few weeks should be an interesting spectacle. The development of Bard has been a long time coming. Its popularity has led many to question how this will impact Google, whose “Search” product has become synonymous with the Internet. Google says it will integrate Bard’s capabilities into its search engine soon. Unless you’ve been under a rock, you must have heard about chatGPT, a chatbot that gives life-like answers to your questions.

Google has unveiled its ChatGPT rival, Bard, a “conversational AI service” that will help billions of Google Search users answer inquiries.

During Google’s earnings call last week, CEO Pichai underlined that AI has been a focus for the company in the last six years. Presently, Bard is only accessible to trusted testers ahead of its general release in the coming weeks. Similar to ChapGPT, Bard uses online information to give new, high-quality responses.

The company last month announced that it was laying off 12,000 people as it put more emphasis on AI projects. In his blog post on Monday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that Google’s Bard conversational AI was to go out for testing with a plan to make it more widely available to the public “in the coming weeks.” “Generative AI is a game changer and much like the rise of the internet sank the networking giants that came before (AOL, CompuServe etc.) it has the potential to change the competitive dynamic for search and information,” said independent tech analyst Rob Enderle.

Working Bard on AI. Google's artificial chatbot is on the way to the public. But what exactly is the AI-powered chatbot?

And since Google is one of the largest and most sophisticated data gatherers, Bard’s “brain” is going to be packed with even more valuable information. Google’s announcement of its own AI chatbot is hot on the heels of Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI. The core idea is the same – to engage in conversation with the extent of solving queries and questions. Plus, as we mentioned, Google is going to give Bard access to the web. All the data that Google gathers (which is another can of worms entirely) is used in Bard’s training model. Bard will also be rolling out into Google Search soon, but the timeline on that is also a little blurry. ChatGPT is certainly the most advanced, with Replika and ChatSonic bringing up the rear in more basic formats. Bard avoids this issue by plugging straight into the web, where it can access up-to-date data instantly. Since LaMDA is a pretty extensive data model, Bard will be restricted to a smaller version. And, unlike other AI chatbots, it’s wired straight into the web so that it can access fresh, up-to-date information. It uses the brand’s LaMDA language model as a basis for its knowledge. The Big G is pretty familiar with all things AI.
