Alphabet’s Google is getting its ChatGPT competitor ready for primetime.
The company said on Monday that its new conversational AI service, called Bard, would be opening up to trusted testers, and that it is readying the service for the public “in the coming weeks”. The service aims to generate detailed answers when given simple prompts, such as what to make for lunch or how to plan a friend’s baby shower.
The testers Google selected for early access are a geographically diverse group of people outside of the company who will help it improve and understand how regular users will encounter the AI service in real life, a Google spokesperson said.Pichai has sought to emphasise the company’s progress in artificial intelligence amid heightened competitive pressure from companies like OpenAI, maker of the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT.
“Beyond our own products, we think it’s important to make it easy, safe, and scalable for others to benefit from these advances by building on top of our best models,” Pichai wrote in the blog post.Pichai touted the release of the company’s large language models in an earnings call last week. He added that users will soon be able to use language models “as a companion to search”.
