Google is launching its own artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot following the success of Microsoft-backed ChatGPT. The company said the product, named Bard, will be released to the public in the coming weeks and will provide written answers to questions in split seconds.
AI will also "soon" be integrated into the company’s search engine to provide written answers to search queries in addition to links to relevant webpages, images and videos. Chief executive Sundar Pichai said the tool would allow Google to answer questions in a more intelligent way that went beyond just providing basic factual information.
"Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world’s knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models," he said. "It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses.
