"Shall we play a game?" That feels "WarGames" apropos as Google releases its own experimental chatbot called Bard as it races to battle ChatGPT, which has taken the AI world by storm. Conversation technology is on the lips of everyone in tech right now, and Google is in the awkward spot of playing the challenger. But this whole AI race could veer into SkyNet territory if we're not careful. Since ChatGPT emerged, some analysts have gone so far (much of it hyperbole) to paint a picture of doom and gloom for Google.

Google and Baidu have both revealed that they will bring their own competitors of OpenAI's ChatGPT artificial intelligence into their search engines, as an AI arms race between the world's largest tech companies has exploded into the public sphere. The news comes just days after leaked images revealed that Microsoft is planning to integrate ChatGPT into its Bing search engine to provide results.
