The internet is witnessing a surge in the popularity of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with frequent news updates about new AI breakthroughs. Despite this, most of the attention is directed towards ChatGPT. This may be unexpected, considering that even tech giants with a trillion-dollar valuation are not keeping up with OpenAI's AI technology. Nevertheless, Google is planning to change this scenario by upgrading their Bard AI to more proficient models, as announced by CEO Sundar Pichai, with further details to be revealed next week.
During an interview with The New York Times' Hard Fork podcast, CEO Sundar Pichai announced that Bard would soon receive an upgrade to a more capable Pathways Language Model (PaLM). Pichai elaborated that PaLM is a more advanced language model that is larger in scale and more suitable for handling tasks such as logical reasoning and coding issues. Currently, Bard is operating on a lightweight and efficient version of LaMDA. With the upgrade to PaLM, it will be able to perform better in math problem-solving and reasoning skills.
Pichai acknowledged that Google's cautious approach to AI development had contributed to Bard's limitations. He also shared that he had discussed the project with Google's co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and that it was crucial not to release a more capable model before being able to manage it properly. Despite these setbacks, Pichai is hopeful about AI's future and its potential benefits, while also emphasizing the importance of anticipating and meeting the challenges associated with AI's rapid growth.
Although Bard was released to the general public in the U.S. and U.K. on March 21, it has failed to garner as much attention as Microsoft's Bing AI chatbot and OpenAI's ChatGPT. With the forthcoming upgrade, Google hopes to catch up to its competitors in the AI chatbot domain.
