Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has announced the launch of a new chatbot tool called “Bard”. According to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, the tool is designed to combine the breadth of the world’s knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of large language models. The tool will be opened up to “trusted testers” starting Monday, with plans to make it available to the public “in the coming weeks”.
The launch of Bard comes as Alphabet seeks to compete with the viral success of ChatGPT, a chatbot tool released publicly in late November by AI research company OpenAI. Like ChatGPT, Bard is built on a large language model.
In a blog post on Monday, Pichai said the company is sharing Bard with “trusted testers ahead of making it more widely available to the public in the coming weeks”. He also noted that AI is “the most profound technology we are working on today”.
The launch of Bard is the latest move by Alphabet to capitalize on the growing popularity of chatbot tools. With its combination of the world’s knowledge and the power of AI, Bard is expected to be a formidable competitor to ChatGPT and other chatbot tools. It remains to be seen how the public will respond to the launch of Bard in the coming weeks.
