Information search is undergoing a revolution thanks to artificial intelligence. This technology has been behind many of the ways we access information on the Internet for years, but now it is taking a quantum leap. The launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the introduction of thousands of such programs by Microsoft has accelerated the response and plans of Google, which at the moment is none other than Bard.

That’s the name of the giant’s chatbot, according to a blog post by Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

“Two years ago, we introduced a new generation of language and conversational features based on our LaMDA (Language Model for Conversational Applications) model. Since then, we have been working on an experimental conversational AI based on LaMDA, which we have named Bard,” the manager explained.

It can be used to explain to a 9-year-old child the latest discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope.

The chatbot was given to testers before it was published. But the manager revealed some details about Bard. “Bard’s goal is to combine the world’s knowledge base with the power, intelligence and creativity of our amazing language models. Bard takes information from the internet and uses it to provide relevant and quality answers. It can serve to satisfy curiosity or to unleash creativity. It can be used to explain to a 9-year-old boy the latest discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope, or learn about today’s top scorers in football, and then develop training programs to help you improve your skills,” says Pichai. in your post.

New developments

According to Google, generative AI plays an important role in society. “At Google, we are committed to responsibly launching these updates and ensuring that they meet our safety, quality and necessary foundation standards before releasing them to the general public. We are focused on ensuring that the innovations we bring to the world are responsible and bold,” the California-based company said in a statement.

The company is expected to launch new imaging, video and audio applications that have already revolutionized the audiovisual and music world. With their call to accountability, they cite doubts about the veracity of content generated by chatbots such as ChatGPT, to which invented AI responses have been discovered.

According to a Google manager, the search engine “will have AI-enabled features that can process complex information — from multiple perspectives — and present it in an easy-to-understand format. They will help you quickly understand the big picture of the problem and get more out of the Internet. For example, to find additional perspectives, such as blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or to delve deeper into a topic, such as what steps you need to take to start playing an instrument. We will soon begin to implement these new features using artificial intelligence in Google search, ”he says.

The AI ​​race is gaining momentum among the tech giants, remember Bard as he aims to be one of the names of the year.
