The latest update tackles generative AI ‘hallucinations’ by openly acknowledging uncertainty in responses.
Google is rolling out Bard Extensions, which will allow users to import data from other Google products such as Drive and Gmail.
The release last year of ChatGPT, a chatbot from Microsoft-backed OpenAI, sparked a race in the tech industry to give consumers access to generative AI technology. Bard has not taken off in the same way. In August, it received 183 million visits, 13% of what ChatGPT received, according to website analytics firm Similarweb.
For now, Bard users will only be able to pull information in from Google apps, but Google is working with external companies to connect their applications into Bard in the future, Google senior product director Jack Krawczyk said.
