Google Bard AI is an artificial intelligence chatbot that uses the company’s LaMDA language model. It is designed to answer questions and queries in a conversational manner, rather than just providing search results.
It’s wired into the web and can access a wide variety of knowledge.
Unlike some other AI chatbots, Bard is designed to answer questions in a more conversational and detailed manner. It can offer pros and cons, budget and safety angles, environmental impacts and other more granular information.
This is a major step in enabling search engine marketers to get accurate, reliable answers to their queries. However, there are still a lot of concerns about how this technology will be rolled out and the quality of its data.
Launching Bard AI in a rush could cause errors and distort its results, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai warned on The Keyword blog.
The new bot is currently available to a select few for testing, but Pichai said it would be made broadly available in the coming weeks. This is because Google wants to collect feedback from users using Bard and improve the platform in the future.
Bard will use a lightweight model version of LaMDA for its AI system, which Google says requires less processing power to run and receive more feedback.
It is also a part of Google’s effort to build more trust in its systems. The company is using English-language Wikipedia as a training database, but some publishers are uncomfortable with the idea that their sites could be used to train a system that may make them obsolete in the future.
