Google's catch-up game on AI continues with Bard launch

Washington Post - Technology News

A day after the Microsoft event, Google showed its Bard chatbot in action during an event that also encompassed other Google products. A phone meant to demonstrate some of the tech went missing, and the company said Bard would only be available in the coming weeks. Its stock fell 7 percent as Wall Street analysts questioned whether the company was losing ground to competitors. A blog post that first announced Bard and Google's plans for generative AI in search results contained an example of the AI making a mistake, underscoring concerns that the company's tech wasn't ready for prime time and that its rollout was rushed.
