Google last week announced the launch of Bard, its own generative AI chatbot that could rival Microsoft's hugely popular OpenAI service. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and business enterprise Alphabet, stated in a Feb. 6 blog post that Bard will be open to the public in the "next few weeks.
Google joins other tech companies entering the field of generative AI in ChatGPT's rocketing popularity, showing we're entering a new era of technology development, said Mark Daley, director of digital computing at Western University. "We are entering a phase where there is tremendous competition between young startups like Open AI and giants like Google," he told Global News. "I foresee a time of unbridled explosion of new ideas and experimentation that will resemble the dawn of the Internet.
How is Bard exceptional from ChatGPT?
Google's bard would be similar to ChatGPT in that users would have to ask a question, ask, or request a human-like response. ChatGPT, which went public last November, can be anything a user can imagine: they can take on the role of a chef and deliver recipes, create business plans for marketers, create press releases for PR specialists, or offer advice as a Therapist.
How ChatGPT affects learning
Both Microsoft and Google plan to integrate AI tools to power their Bing and Google search services, which account for a large portion of their revenue. The biggest difference between the two is Bard's ability to incorporate current events into his responses. Bard will pull information from the web, while ChatGPT will have access to data from various sources from 2021. The Bard is currently available to "trust checkers" before becoming more publicly available in the "coming weeks," Pichai said in a blog post.
"Bard seeks to mix the vastness of the world's knowledge with the power, intelligence, and creativity of our magnificent language models. It draws on information from around the web to provide fresh, high-quality answers," Pichai said. " Bard can be an outlet for creativity and a focal point for curiosity, whether it's helping a nine-year-old explain new discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope, or learning about the best forwards in football right now, and then to practice to develop your skills.
Why is Google pushing it now?
The timescale for AI outages is “very short,” Daley said.He said it's "interesting" to see Google promoting its product without posting it, which is the opposite of what OpenAI has been doing with ChatGPT. Sounds "reactionary," but deployment of the technology isn't far off, Daley said, citing Microsoft's Jan.23 billion funding in OpenAI.
"Microsoft is a company full of talented engineers. If they wanted to build their own version... they could do it in 6-12 months, but I think Microsoft management actually realized that 6-12 months is way too long. We need it for tomorrow, he said. "Google feels the same pressure. This is the phase transition time.
That's the point where everything changes and they want to keep their market share.

The Chinese company Alibaba said on Wednesday that it is developing an AI tool similar to ChatGPT and is currently undergoing internal tests. Chinese search giant Baidu announced on Tuesday that it was completing internal testing of a chatbot called "Ernie. "It's great news for us consumers and citizens that we have such concentrated competition," Daley said. "It would be a bad outcome if one or two companies controlled all good generative AIs.
What impact can these artificial intelligence tools have on the market?
The ChatGPT number was not celebrated. Its publication has raised plagiarism concerns and prompted a top French university to ban ChatGPT, Reuters reported Jan. 27.The tool has also raised questions about disinformation. Several Canadian universities are developing guidelines for using ChatGPT, and OpenAI announced on January 31 that it is launching a new tool that can help teachers identify assignments that were not written by the student writing them submitted.
Varun Mayya, CEO of software development company Avalon Scenes, previously told Global News that generative AI tools can learn to distinguish between accurate and inaccurate information, so there may be no downside tomorrow. Pichai said in a blog post that Google is committed to the "responsible" development of its artificial intelligence.
Consumers will eventually know which tool is more reliable than the other," Daley said. "You'll see that overall consumers are pretty good at finding and supporting products that meet their needs," she said. "We're going to see an era of incredible experimentation and maybe a fairly rapid convergence of tools that actually meet the needs of the people who are meant to use them.
