Artificial Intelligence has been gaining significant attention in recent years, with new advancements being made almost every day. However, most of the news related to AI breakthroughs is centered around ChatGPT. It’s surprising that even trillion-dollar tech companies are yet to match the AI technology developed by OpenAI. Nevertheless, Google is now stepping up its game. The CEO, Sundar Pichai, recently announced that they are planning to upgrade Bard AI to more advanced models next week. Here are the details of the upcoming upgrade.
Bard AI will be upgraded to compete with ChatGPT and ChatGPT-4 reveals Google CEO
A while back, Google introduced its AI chatbot Bard, which was aimed to rival ChatGPT. However, during a demonstration, the chatbot gave an incorrect response, leading to an embarrassing moment for the company. As a result, the tech giant lost $100 billion in market value. In response to the criticism of Bard’s failed demo in February, Google’s CEO has now addressed the issue.
In a recent interview for The New York Times Hard Fork podcast, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the issues with the AI chatbot named Bard, which failed to deliver satisfactory responses during a demo, leading to a significant loss in market value for the company. Pichai assured the listeners that Bard will soon be upgraded to a more capable language model, the Pathways Language Model (PaLM), which is better equipped to handle tasks such as logical reasoning and coding issues. Currently, Bard operates on a lightweight version of LaMDA, but the upgrade to PaLM will provide more capabilities, including better reasoning skills and math problem-solving abilities.
Challenges & Innovations in Bard’s Development
Google’s AI chatbot Bard, was released in the U.S. and U.K. on 21st March 2023, but it has not been able to garner as much attention as other competitors in the AI chatbot space such as Bing AI chatbot from Microsoft and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In order to catch up with its rivals, Google is planning to upgrade Bard to a more capable Pathways Language Model (PaLM). This upgrade is expected to bring new features and capabilities that will make Bard more competitive in the market.
In an interview, CEO Sundar Pichai admitted that Google’s cautious approach to AI development had led to the limitations of Bard. Pichai explained that he had discussed the project with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin and that they agreed that it was crucial not to release a more capable model until they could handle it well. Despite the challenges, Pichai remains optimistic about the potential benefits of AI but also emphasized the need to anticipate the risks associated with its rapid growth and to adapt accordingly to meet those challenges.
Bard’s Launch is a crucial move for Google, as it competes with Microsoft, which partners with OpenAI to challenge Google’s supremacy in search engines. However, Google’s initial attempt to respond to this competition turned out to be a disaster, leading to a significant drop in the company’s value. Due to the value of large language models as intellectual property, Bard’s development is shrouded in secrecy. Bard is constructed on a new version of Google’s LaMDA and will be updated as technology advances. Similar to ChatGPT and GPT-4, Bard is fine-tuned using reinforcement learning from human feedback, leading to more valuable and less harmful responses.
