What is Bard? Google CEO Sundar Pichai explains the newly introduced AI chatbot

Google Bard: At a time when everyone is talking about OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google has introduced its new artificial intelligence (AI) service 'Bard'.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai explains what is 'Bard'?

According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Bard is an "experimental conversational AI service" which is powered by Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA).

Pichai, in a blog post on Monday, said that the tool aims to combine the depth of the "world's knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models".

"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," Pichai explained.

The tech giant is initially releasing it using LaMDA's lightweight model version.

This much smaller model requires significantly less computing power, allowing the company to scale to more users, resulting in more feedback.

Google will combine the external feedback with its own internal testing to make sure that Bard's responses "meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information", Pichai mentioned.
