Google Launches ChatGPT Rival Called Bard

Newscast - Africa

Google is launching an Artificial Intelligence powered chatbot called Bard to rival ChatGPT.
The firm says Bard will be used by a group of testers before being rolled out to the public in the coming weeks.
Bard is built on Google's existing large language model Lamda, which one engineer described as being so human-like in its responses that he believed it was sentient.
The tech giant also announced new AI tools for its current search engine.
Google boss Sundar Pichai says Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world's knowledge with the power, intelligence, and creativity of our large language models," Mr Pichai stressed that he wanted Google's AI services to be "bold and responsible" but did not elaborate on how Bard would be prevented from sharing harmful or abusive content.
