Google Bard AI: Google Unveils Bard, Its Answer to ChatGPT
In recent news, Google has announced the launch of Bard AI, a new AI-powered chatbot that will rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Bard is powered by Google’s own language model, Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). This announcement comes just days after Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, detailed the company’s progress during an earnings call.
The Announcement
Google was reportedly referring to ChatGPT as “code red” due to the AI-powered platform’s widespread popularity. In a blog post, Google stated that Bard will be made available to “trusted testers” before its public release in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has surpassed 100 million users in just two months since its launch.
Google’s Answer to ChatGPT: What is Bard AI and How Does it Work?
Google Bard is an AI-powered chatbot designed to respond to various inquiries in a conversational manner, similar to ChatGPT. The chatbot uses online information to provide fresh, high-quality replies and is powered by LaMDA, Google’s language model based on the Transformer neural network architecture.
Interestingly, ChatGPT is also based on the GPT-3 language model, which is similarly built on Transformer. Transformer was first created and open-sourced by Google Research in 2017.

Accessing Google Bard AI
As of now, Google Bard is not yet accessible for public testing. However, select individuals have been given access. Google is currently working on creating a “lightweight model version of LaMDA” that uses far fewer computational resources.
Google’s language model has been in development for some time, but the corporation halted its public release following allegations made by one of its employees.
