During Google’s earnings call last week, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai underlined that AI has been a focus for the company in the last 6 years. From presenting Transformers, the grandmother of contemporary languages, in 2017 to introducing the state-of-the-art big language model, LaMDA, in 2021, Google has continued to put AI at the core of its efforts.
Last night, Google announced new AI advancements, including the introduction of Bard, Google’s experimental conversational AI service (powered by LaMDA), which is now being made accessible to trusted testers ahead of its general release in the coming weeks.
Bard is a conversational AI service that combines the depth of the world’s information with the power, intelligence, and creativity of our large language models to help deliver answers to inquiries. It uses online information to give new, high-quality responses.
Bard can be a creative outlet and a jumping off point for inquiry, allowing users to explain fresh findings from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old, or learn more about the finest strikers in football right now, and then receive workouts to improve your talents.
Diving further into Bard, we’d like to share a blog post with you by Sundar Pichai , in which he provides additional detail on this, as well as provide a sneak peek at various AI-powered features that will soon be brought to Search, which can help synthesize insights for questions where there’s no one right answer.
