‘We’re competing with faster cars with a better Civic’: Google CEO promises better version of Bard AI

Sundar Pichaicurrent CEO Googleresponded to criticism from artificial intelligence enthusiasts against Bard, the firm’s experimental chatbot, promising that updates will be released soon to improve its performance. The CEO indicated that new versions of the platform that intend to compete with ChatGPT from Open AI And bing from Microsoftare already being developed and are on the way.

Via interview provided to the podcast hardfork from New York Timesbusinessman revealed new details regarding an important project Google. “Obviously we have more capable models. Very soon, perhaps while this podcast is being released, we will update Bard with some of our models PALM the more capable, who will bring more ability, whether in reasoning, coding, or better answering math questions. So you’ll see progress next week.”said Pichai.

Bard, Google’s chatbot, will improve soon

Pichai mentioned that Bard works with “light and efficient version LaMDA”, linguistic model AI which focuses on offering dialogues. “In a way, I feel like we’ve taken a redesigned Civic and compared it to more powerful cars.”, said the CEO. Except, PALM – a newer language model that is also larger in scope – more efficient when it comes to tasks like logical reasoning and coding problems, he argues. Google.

Bard was made public on March 21, but did not attract attention and did not receive good reviews ChatGPT and chatbot bing since during the first tests, the experts found that this platform is systematically less useful than its competitors. Like all general purpose chatbots, Bard can answer a wide range of questions, but his responses tend to be less fluid and imaginative and not based on reliable data sources.

Pichai suggested that part of the reason for Bard’s limited abilities was a sense of caution within Google. “It was important for me not to release a more powerful model until we were completely sure that we could handle it.”he mentioned. In addition, the businessman also confirmed that he had spoken to Larry Page And Sergey BrinGoogle’s co-founders, on the project, saying it never issued the infamous “code red” to push AI in the face of popularity ChatGPT Although “Probably there were people in the company who sent emails that there was a red code”.

Google remains concerned about the rapid development of AI

Regarding the debate about whether AI poses a threat to modern society due to its rapid progress, Pichai said the following: “In this area, I think it’s important to listen to the problems, and I think it makes sense to worry about it. It will take a lot of debate, no one knows all the answers, no company can do it right. AI This is too important an area not to be regulated.”. However, the businessman also pointed out that it is better to limit the application of rules to already existing sectors than to create new laws specifically dedicated to AI.

The truth is that there are still various concerns about chat bot such as their propensity to spread false information, or even those that suggest that these systems are so difficult to control that, when connected to a wider network, they can be used to harm. Others point out that current programs are also approaching what is known as general artificial intelligence: systems capable of performing a wide range of tasks no lower than human.

“It’s very clear to me that these systems are going to be very, very functional, so it almost doesn’t matter if you’ve achieved general artificial intelligence Or not. Can we create an AI system that can spread misinformation on a large scale? Yes, is it artificial general intelligence? It really doesn’t matter. Why should we care about AI security? Because you have to anticipate it and evolve to meet this moment.”said Pichai during a conversation.
