Google’s Rush to Win in AI Led to Ethical Lapses, Employees Say

[ad_1] Shortly before Google introduced Bard, its AI chatbot, to the public in March, it asked employees to test the tool.One worker's conclusion: Bard was “a pathological liar,” according to screenshots of the internal discussion. Another called it “cringe-worthy.” One employee wrote that when they asked Bard suggestions for how to land a plane, it regularly gave advice that would lead to a crash; another said it gave answers on scuba diving “which would likely result in serious injury or death.” Google launched Bard anyway. The trusted internet-search giant is providing low-quality information in a race to keep up with the competition, while giving less priority to its ethical commitments, according to 18 current and former workers at the company and internal documentation reviewed by...

For tech giants, AI like Bing and Bard poses billion-dollar search problem

[ad_1] As Alphabet Inc looks past a chatbot flub that helped erase $100 billion from its market value, another challenge is emerging from its efforts to add generative artificial intelligence to its popular Google Search: the cost. Executives across the technology sector are talking about how to operate AI like ChatGPT while accounting for the high expense. The wildly popular chatbot from OpenAI, which can draft prose and answer search queries, has "eye-watering" computing costs of a couple or more cents per conversation, the startup's Chief Executive Sam Altman has said on Twitter. In an interview, Alphabet's Chairman John Hennessy told Reuters that having an exchange with AI known as a large language model likely cost 10 times more than a standard keyword search, though fine-tun...

Microsoft Bing’s ChatGPT-powered chatbot reveals DARK side-murder to marriage, know it all

[ad_1] In the last few months, we have witnessed tremendous growth in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly AI chatbots which have become the rage ever since ChatGPT was launched in November 2022. In months that followed, Microsoft invested $10 billion into ChatGPT maker OpenAI and then formed a collaboration to add a customized AI chatbot capability to Microsoft Bing search engine. Google also held a demonstration of its own AI chatbot Bard. However, these integrations have not exactly gone according to the plan. Earlier, Google's parent company Alphabet lost $100 billion in market value after Bard made a mistake in its response. Now, people are testing Microsoft Bing's chatbot and are finding out some really shocking responses.The new Bing search engine was revealed...

Google’s search business doesn’t have to be killed by AI chatbots – here’s the ugly workaround

[ad_1] Google's parent company Alphabet has lost a hefty US$100 billion (£83 billion) or nearly a tenth of its market value after its new AI chatbot, Bard, botched an answer to a query on an ad promoting its launch. It claimed that the James Webb space telescope took the first pictures of planets outside the Earth's solar system when in fact it was the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. At the same time, Microsoft saw its shares rise 3% on announcing that it would be integrating ChatGPT into Bing, Office and Teams. Microsoft is a significant shareholder in OpenAI, maker of this much-heralded AI chatbot. Many are asking if we are witnessing Google's Kodak moment, in reference to the American camera giant's famous demise at the hands of digital photography. That...

Bard, Bing and Baidu: how big tech’s AI race will transform search – and all of computing

[ad_1] Today, if you want to find a good moving company, you might ask your favourite search engine – Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo perhaps – for some advice. After wading past half a page of adverts, you get a load of links to articles on moving companies. You click on one of the links and finally read about how to pick a good 'un. But not for much longer. In a major reveal this week, Google announced plans to add its latest AI chatbot, LaMDA, to the Google search engine. The chatbot has been called the “Bard”. I hope William Shakespeare's descendants sue. It's not the job of arguably the greatest writer of the English language to answer mundane questions about how to find a good moving company. But he will. Ask the Bard how, and he will reply a...

Crypto Fans Pile Into ‘Faddish’ AI Tokens as ChatGPT Mania Grows

[ad_1] Count on crypto fans to jump on any burgeoning trend as fast as they can. Digital assets focused on artificial intelligence have been skyrocketing since OpenAI's chatbot known as ChatGPT became an internet phenomenon and spurred buzz about its future potential. Nearly all the tokens classified under the AI category by CoinGecko have posted at least double-digit moves over the past week. SingularityDAO jumped 138% over a seven-day period. SingularityNET was 126% higher over that stretch while Artificial Liquid Intelligence rose 87%. For market-watchers with long memories, it's reminiscent of other obsessions in the sector. This includes the phase when initial coin offerings were hot, or when a bunch of companies in 2018 jumped on the “blockchain” bandwagon by reinventing t...

Alphabet Falls Most in Three Months on Bard Accuracy Concerns

[ad_1] Google owner Alphabet Inc. fell by the most in more than three months on concerns that its new artificial intelligence chatbot Bard may yield inaccurate responses.Alphabet's showcase of Bard on Feb. 6 was “underwhelming,” Bloomberg Intelligence technology analyst Mandeep Singh said in a note Wednesday. In one instance, Bard was asked about new discoveries from the James Webb Space telescope. In one of its responses, Bard said the telescope was used to take the first pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system, when NASA says those were actually taken by a different telescope. Google said in a statement that Bard's response “highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process.” The company said it will combine external feedback with its own internal testing to ensur...

Google Bard vs ChatGPT: What are the Differences between Google and Microsoft AI Chatbots?

[ad_1] Google Bard vs ChatGPT: OpenAI created a revolution in the artificial intelligence (AI) world when it first launched ChatGPT in November 2022. The conversational chatbot held capabilities of content generation, answering specific questions asked by the user as well as remembering previous questions to develop a context and having a fairly intelligent conversation. In just two months since its launch, the application gained more than 100 million users, a number even TikTok (the previously fastest growing app) took about nine months to achieve. But today, Google launched its own AI chatbot called Bard, which will challenge ChatGPT and its position in the industry. So, what are the main differences between the two platforms? Let's take a closer look.Google Bard vs ChatGPTWhile both...
