Google announces new Bard chatbot to counter ChatGPT

Google’s Sundar Pichai said its new chatbot will soon be released to a group of trusted testers outside the company.

Google says it’s moving quickly to roll out new generative AI features to counter the massive success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In a three-pronged announcement Monday, the company announced a new chatbot called Bard to compete with ChatGPT, a new conversational search feature that returns a package of multimedia search results, and a new generative AI API upon which developers and creatives can build their own apps.
