Google denies copying ChatGPT to train its own AI Chatbot Bard
Google has denied reports that it copied Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT to train an AI chatbot called Bard.
A report in The Information magazine claimed that OpenAI’s success “has forced two AI research groups at Google’s parent company, Alphabet, to overcome years of intense competition to work together.”
According to the report, citing sources, software engineers from Google’s Brain AI group are working with employees of DeepMind, a sister company of Alphabet, to develop software to compete with OpenAI.
“The joint effort, known internally as Gemini, began in recent weeks when Google collided with Bard, the first attempt to compete with OpenAI’s chatbot,” the report claimed.
However, a Google spokesperson told The Verge that “Bard has not been trained on any data from ShareGPT or ChatGPT.”
Meanwhile, Google has announced that it will open its ChatGPT competitor “Bard” as an early trial to allow users to collaborate with generative AI.
Early access to Bard has been rolled out in the US and UK, and the company said it will expand access to more countries and languages over time.
Bard, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot, is based on a large language model (LLM), specifically a lightweight and optimized version of LaMDA, which the tech giant said will be updated with newer, more powerful models in the future.
Users can interact with Bard by asking questions and refining their answers with follow-up questions.
