Google has launched its proprietary AI technology called Bard at Google I/O 2023, expanding the use of artificial intelligence across its platform to 180 countries.
Bard is positioned as a rival to Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.
Huge potential
“As models get better and more capable, one of the most exciting opportunities is making them available for people to engage with directly,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said while giving the keynote speech. “That’s the opportunity we have with Bard – our experiment for conversational AI.”
Sissie Hsiao, Vice President at Google and General Manager for Google Assistant’s business unit, announced that Bard is now accessible in Japanese and Korean and will soon support 40 additional languages.
According to executives at the Google developers conference, said generative AI will also be used to supercharge the internet giant’s leading search engine.
Accessibility
Google Bard AI chatbot can be accessed via bard.google.com.
The user will then get the option to ‘try Bard’.
You can just hit the button and then you will need to agree to the Privacy permission to get access to Bard.
Experimental stage
Despite its rollout, Bard is prone to inaccuracies, as acknowledged by Google.
The company advises users to double-check information provided by Bard due to its experimental nature.
Bard vs OpenGTP
One major difference between Bard and ChatGPT is that Bard will stay updated with the latest developments, while ChatGPT’s training data is limited to September 2021.
Bard offers multiple drafts for a single query, allowing users to review different responses before finalizing.
This sets Bard apart from ChatGPT, which provides responses in a more natural, typed-out manner.
