Google has launched its own AI chatbot tool called Bard, which competes with ChatGPT. Users can now join a waitlist to access Bard, which can help with tasks such as writing essay drafts and suggesting lunch ideas. The tool will be complementary to Google Search, and the company plans to add large language models to search in a deeper way in the future. Bard is being rolled out in the US and UK, with plans for expansion to other countries and languages. The launch of Bard follows recent AI upgrades to Google and Microsoft productivity tools. The announcement of Bard's launch last month led to a 7.7% fall in Alphabet's market value. Like ChatGPT, Bard is built on a large language model, which can present challenges such as perpetuating biases and being factually incorrect. Google says it is continuing to use human feedback to improve its systems and is adding new safeguards.
