Google CEO Sundar Pichai promises Bard AI chatbot upgrades soon: ‘We clearly have more capable models’
As Google looks to the future, it’s clear that the company has big plans for Bard, its chatbot assistant. This week, CEO Sundar Pichai promised that Bard would see some major upgrades in the near future, saying that the company has “clearly more capable models” in the works.
Pichai’s comments come after a recent report from Ars Technica claimed that Google was “reorganizing” its Assistant team in order to focus more on Bard. This move, according to the report, is likely in response to Bard’s recent success in the market.
The chatbot has been praised for its ability to understand and respond to natural language queries, and it is seen as a major competitor to ChatGPT, the current leader in the space.
However, not everyone is happy with Google’s chatbot plans. A top AI researcher reportedly left the company for OpenAI after expressing concerns that Bard was being trained on data from ChatGPT.
The researcher, who wished to remain anonymous, told Ars Technica that they were concerned that Google was “building an army of chatbots” that would be used to “manipulate public opinion.”
These concerns come as chatbots become increasingly prevalent in our everyday lives. From customer service to online shopping, chatbots are being used to automate more and more tasks.
As chatbots become more ubiquitous, it’s important to consider the potential implications of their use. With Bard, Google has a powerful tool at its disposal, and it will be interesting to see how the company uses it in the future.
