The news comes amid the revolution created by ChatGPT. Created by the San Francisco company Open AI, it was introduced in late 2022 and, in just over two months, has amassed a million users in just a few days.

His great versatility is surprising: he is capable of writing essays, news stories or poems, holding a conversation by imitating a human being and answering all kinds of questions. Her only impediment is the ability to feel.

The tool was also called a potential threat to Google’s core search business.

As the CEO of Google and Alphabet reported on Monday, sundar pichaiin a post on his personal blog, the AI Bard it would test with a plan to make it more widely available to the public “in the coming weeks.”

Without providing further details, he explained that Bard takes his information from the web “to provide fresh, high-quality responses“, and guarantees that it can be used for creative purposes, but also for informational purposes only.

In this sense, he gave some examples: “It would help a 9-year-old boy to understand James Webb’s super-telescope or to learn more about today’s top goalscorers in soccer.”

Other uses of the Bard chat room could be, according to Pichai, planning a baby shower for a friend, comparing two Oscar-nominated movies, or designing a menu based on what’s available in a fridge.

“Bard seeks to combine the breadth of global knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our great language models. It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality answers,” summarized Pichai.

Specifically, Bard is based on LaMDA, the company’s Language Model for Dialogue Applications system, which took several years to develop.

What is ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence that Google wants to compete with

Open AI is the name of an artificial intelligence research and development laboratory with the express goal of making programs available to the general public. We try to prevent a possible existential risk produced by AI from being aggravated by the concentration of these resources in a few multinationals”, he explained to clarion Javier Blanco, PhD in Computer Science at the University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

This type of system, made possible by the dramatic advance in computing power, is a discipline that uses large volumes of already available data to build a program that can recognize common patterns and create new data.

“ChatGPT is an example of a program capable of sustaining several natural language dialogues. On the one hand, the system has been trained for such dialogue using techniques that involve humans, both in accessing conversations to learn from and in the process next. to evaluate and improve interactions,” he adds.

Thus ChatGPT, which is already preparing a paid version (at the moment it is free), has captured all the online discussions since last November, when it was released free to the public.

Its uncanny resemblance to reality has even raised concerns about its potential to supplant professional writers and do student homework for them.

OpenAI said on Monday that it uses Azure, Microsoft’s cloud-based service, to train all of its models and that Microsoft’s investment will help it accelerate its independent research. Azure will remain the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI, the company said.

As with Microsoft’s previous investment in OpenAI, much of the deal’s value will come in the form of Microsoft providing OpenAI with the Azure cloud computing horsepower it needs to run its AI systems, two sources said. who are familiar with the company.
