Google has launched a new AI-powered chatbot named Bard to improve the conversational experience in search powered by AI.
As per an official blog by Google, the company reoriented their products around AI technology to organise the world's information and make it accessible and useful. The launch of Google Bard, an AI chatbot, is one of the first steps in this direction.

Bard is a chatbot that uses the LaMDA language model as its basis for knowledge and is connected to the web to access updated information. Bard can respond to questions in a conversational manner and can handle detailed questions like writing essays and programming examples.

Google is releasing Bard in a testing phase, with access restricted to "trusted testers" and will be available to the general public soon. Google is also planning to integrate Bard into their search engine.

Bard can answer easy questions like when a magazine was launched and more abstract and open-ended questions like which instrument is easier to learn. Bard draws data from its LaMDA, the web and can sort through vast data to provide multiple answers and easy-to-digest snippets.

Bard is similar in its idea of engaging in conversation to solve queries and questions to other AI chatbots. ChatGPT is the most advanced chatbot, but it is limited in its data capacity. Bard has an advantage over ChatGPT and other chatbots by accessing the web for updated information.

The reliability of Bard's AI-powered search queries may be sometimes doubtful as it does not cite its source and gathers data from the web. However, it is an improvement over other AI chatbots and has the potential to be a very helpful AI tool.

Bard will be initially released with a lightweight version of LaMDA. More AI technologies such as LaMDA, PaLM, Imagen, and MusicLM are being integrated into Google products, starting with search, to deepen understanding of information and provide useful knowledge.
