Google has not waited any longer and has made a move in the world of Artificial Intelligence. After the ‘boom’ that ChatGPT has had, the American company will soon have its own chatbot. For this very reason, after several weeks seeing what OpenAI’s AI is capable of, Google introduces us to Bard, an artificial intelligence chat.
After learning of Microsoft‘s large investment in OpenAI, Google has not taken long to present its alternative for all those users who are using a chatbot.
What is bard
The company of the big G has presented its own option of AI with which it ” seeks to combine the breadth of knowledge of the world with the power, intelligence and creativity of our great linguistic models “. In this way, from Google they will be able to compete against Microsoft and its commitment to OpenAI after learning about its investment of 10,000 million dollars. So with Bard, the race for AI has begun.
As they have stated in the Google statement, it is not yet available to everyone: ” we are giving way to testers before it is available to the public in the coming weeks “. So, first, it will pass through the hands of the trusted evaluators of the American company to refine as much as possible the failures that it may have. Therefore, in the coming weeks, it will be available to everyone.
Google’s idea is that Bard can be used for everything from simplifying complex issues, such as explaining to a 9-year-old the new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, to learning more about the best soccer forwards of the moment. In other words, it can be used for everything, using “information from the web to provide fresh and high-quality answers”.
New functions for the Google search engine
In addition, from the company they want to bring each of the benefits of AI to each of the products that we use regularly, such as the smartphone. For example, taking advantage of the launch of Bard, they have shown how new features for the search engine will also be available in the coming weeks that will be helped by AI: « When searching for information, the AI functions in Search can distill information to help you see the big picture .”
In this way, it is achieved that the search engine has some functions with which more complex information will be offered, in addition to having different points of view in a format that is understandable for all with the aim that you can also learn more about the web: ” either looking for additional insights, like blogs from people who play the piano and guitar, or delving into a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner .”
In addition to all this, from the month of March, developers, creators and companies will also begin to incorporate so that they can test the API, initially promoted by LaMDA with a range of models to follow.
