Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, spoke with Kevin Roose and Casey Newton of the New York Times “Hard Fork” podcast about the company’s latest AI chatbot, Bard, and its impact on the digital landscape.
The conversation covered a range of topics, including AI safety concerns, the future of search, and the race to develop advanced AI technologies. In addition, Bard, Google’s lightweight version of LaMDA, was released to gather user feedback and build trust. It is being tested in Gmail with a limited number of trusted users.
Pichai aims to work with the publisher ecosystem to ensure the sustainability of Bard, which could change search and web publishing.
Pichai also explained that Google is committed to balancing AI innovation with responsible development, addressing benefits and risks.
The future of search and software engineering may involve more natural language programming, making it more accessible and enjoyable for users.
