Google I/O 2023: Google Bard arrives in India: Features, benefits and challenges

Google has announced the launch of its new conversational AI system, Google Bard, in India. Google Bard is a chatbot that can generate natural and engaging responses to text input using advanced deep-learning techniques. Google Bard is designed to be a versatile and creative assistant that can help users with various tasks, such as writing emails, composing poems, summarizing articles, and more.

Google Bard was first introduced at the Google I/O 2022 event, showcasing its impressive abilities by generating witty and humorous replies to questions from the audience. Google Bard also demonstrated its skills in generating content such as stories, lyrics, code, and even celebrity parodies. Google Bard is powered by a massive neural network trained on billions of words from various sources, such as books, websites, social media, and news articles.

Google Bard is now available in India as a beta version, and users can access it through a website link that will be sent to them via email.

Users can sign up for the beta program by filling out a form on the Google website Meet Bard (google.com). Google Bard supports English and Hindi languages, and users can switch between them by typing “/lang” followed by the language code (en or hi). Users can also give feedback to Google Bard by typing “/feedback” followed by their comments.

Google Bard is expected to compete with ChatGPT, another popular conversational AI system OpenAI developed. ChatGPT is known for its ability to generate coherent and realistic responses to any text input, using a large-scale language model called GPT-3. Developers and researchers have widely used ChatGPT for various applications, such as chatbots, text generation, text summarization, and more.

Google claims that Google Bard is superior to ChatGPT in terms of creativity, diversity, and personality. Google says that Google Bard can generate more original and varied responses than ChatGPT, and it can also adapt its tone and style according to the context and the user’s preferences. Google also says that Google Bard is more secure and reliable than ChatGPT, as it does not rely on external servers or third-party APIs.

Google Bard is part of Google’s vision to make conversational AI more accessible and useful for everyone. Google hopes that Google Bard will inspire users to explore their creativity and curiosity through natural language interaction. Google also plans to integrate Google Bard with other Google products and services in the future, such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Assistant, and more.
