Google recently announced Bard, an AI chatbot that will rival ChatGPT. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the company’s new technology. However, what happened during the launch disappointed everyone. The whole world saw that the US technology giant was behind OpenAI in the field of artificial intelligence, and Bard was not ready yet. Lastly, in an attempt to turn the situation around, CEO Sundar Pichai sent a memo to all his employees, asking them to take two to four hours out of their day to make its search AI actually usable. Here are the details…
Google’s CEO Tells Staff to Spend Hours Working Out ‘Bard’ AI Kinks
Following the disastrous wrong answer from Bard, Google’s shares fell, and the company lost $100 billion in value. In the field of artificial intelligence, which everyone considers the future, Google lagged behind, and it wants to change that. Therefore, the new plan is to direct all employees to the artificial intelligence project. According to a leaked internal email, Google is asking all of its employees to spend two to four hours of their day testing Google’s “Bard” AI, the same system the company plans to integrate into its chat function.
In the email he sent, Pichai emphasized the importance of working together and asked his employees to contribute to the development of artificial intelligence. He stated, “Next week, we’ll be enlisting every Googler to help shape Bard and contribute through a special company-wide ‘dogfooding’ program.” “Dogfooding” is a term used within companies to refer to a practice that involves using one’s own product before launching it. He added, “We’re looking forward to receiving all of your feedback — in the spirit of an internal hackathon.
Unfortunately, we do not have information such as the entire email and how many Google employees received it. Although the company recently announced 12,000 job cuts to its global workforce, Google, excluding its parent company Alphabet, still employs over 170,000 people worldwide. Of course, not all of these employees are suitable for the job, but a significant number of them are software developers.
