Google CEO Sundar Pichai urges employees to spend 2 to 4 hours each week testing the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ‘Bard’.
Bard, which Google ambitiously unveiled against Microsoft’s ‘ChatGPT’, gave an incorrect answer in a recent demonstration. It seems to be a message asking you to focus all your efforts on improving the bard as it somewhat lost face.
According to CNBC, an American economic media outlet, on the 16th, CEO Pichai recently sent an email to all employees, saying, “Please spend 2 to 4 hours on the bard during the week. The company will send out more detailed instructions next week.”
“I know this moment (of the birth of the bard) is very exciting. “The underlying technology has tremendous potential and is evolving rapidly.”
CEO Pichai explained that he is mobilizing thousands of internal and external personnel to test the quality, stability, and basis of information provided by Bard. “AI has passed through many winters and springs, and now it is blooming again,” he repeatedly emphasized, “now is the time to accept repeated challenges.”
Compared to Microsoft’s ChatGPT, Google also revealed its position on criticism that Google was lagging behind in the AI chatbot sector. Google isn’t always the first to launch a new product or service, but that hasn’t stopped it from succeeding.
“Our most successful products aren’t always the first to market,” Pichai said. “Some of them address critical user needs and are built on deep technical insight, which fuels their success.” did. In fact, Google’s representative search engine and Android OS were released later than competitors, but Google’s services dominate the current industry.
“This (bard development) will be a long journey for everyone, not just in the field,” said CEO Pichai. .
Meanwhile, Google held a bard demonstration on the 8th, and the bard gave an incorrect answer during the demonstration. When asked for an explanation of the ‘James Webb Telescope’, he replied, “It was the first time I photographed a planet outside the solar system.” According to NASA, the first extrasolar planet was the European Southern Observatory’s super-giant telescope. After Bard’s incorrect answer, Google’s stock price fell by nearly 10%.
