Google introduces AI Chatbot Bard
Google is all set to launch ‘Bard’, a new conversational AI chatbot, aimed at challenging OpenAI’s ChatGPT, backed by Microsoft.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced in a blog post that the company was opening Bard to a group of trusted testers, ahead of making it more widely available to the public in coming weeks.

“Two years ago we unveiled next-generation language and conversation capabilities powered by our Language Model for Dialogue Applications (or LaMDA for short). We’ve been working on an experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA, that we’re calling Bard,” read the blog post.

Google’s chatbot is supposed to be able to explain complex subjects such as outer space discoveries in terms simple enough for a child to understand. It also claims the service will also perform other more mundane tasks, such as providing tips for planning a party, or lunch ideas based on what food is left in a refrigerator.

“Bard can be an outlet for creativity, and a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old, or learn more about the best strikers in football right now, and then get drills to build your skills,” the Google CEO wrote in his blog post.

Pichai didn’t say in his post whether Bard will be able to write prose in the vein of William Shakespeare, the playwright who apparently inspired the service’s name.
