Google has unveiled Bard as its answer to the popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The company is looking to include Bard’s functionality in various applications, starting with Search. While announcing the ‘experimental conversational AI service’, company CEO Sundar Pichai said that Bard’s functionality will be first tested internally before it is available to more people.
Pichai’s message suggests that the company is taking a cautious approach, something he and Jeff Dean, head of Google’s AI division, reportedly talked about during an all-hands meeting. The executives explained that AI chatbots have problems like bias and factuality, which is a problem for a company with such a big stature.
They said that people come to Google Search seeking factual, correct answers and if there’s a bias in AI models, they are unsuited to replace web search. Pichai emphasised on the principles Google follows when it comes to AI and areas where it will not design or deploy the technology.
