The AI wars are in full swing as companies scramble to respond to the success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Google has recently introduced its AI chatbot, Bard, as a competitor in the field. However, allegations of intellectual theft have emerged, with claims that Google copied the technology from Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Google has now responded to these allegations. Here are the details…
Google denies it copied ChatGPT to train its own AI chatbot Bard
The allegations were sparked by a report in The Information, which claimed that ChatGPT’s success has prompted two AI research teams within Alphabet, Google’s parent company, to set aside their intense rivalry and collaborate. The report stated that engineers from Google’s Brain AI group are working alongside employees at DeepMind, a sibling company within Alphabet, on a joint effort called Gemini. This collaboration reportedly began after Google’s initial attempt to compete with OpenAI’s chatbot through Bard stumbled.
In a conversation with The Verge, a Google spokesperson refuted these allegations, stating, “Bard is not trained on any data from ShareGPT or ChatGPT.” Google has also announced the early access release of Bard as an experimental collaboration with generative AI for users. Bard’s early access is currently available in the United States and the United Kingdom, with plans to expand its availability to more countries and languages. Like its competitors OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot, Bard is based on a large language model (LLM). It employs a lightweight and optimized version of LaMDA, which Google has confirmed will be updated with newer, more capable models in the future.
Users can interact with Bard by asking questions and refining their responses through follow-up questions. This interactive approach will allow users to explore the capabilities of Google’s AI chatbot and provide valuable feedback for future development. Despite allegations of copying ChatGPT, Google remains committed to its independent development and providing a unique AI chatbot experience for its users. The company has taken a firm stance against the accusations and continues to invest in the evolution of its own AI technology.
