New Delhi: Google has launched an updated version of its AI chatbot called Bard, which is designed to assist people with programming and software development tasks. Bard can generate code, debug and explain code snippets, and help users write functions for Google Sheets. The tech giant is introducing this updated version of Bard in more than 20 programming languages, including C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript.
One of the key features of Bard is its ability to explain code snippets to users who are new to programming. Additionally, if Bard provides an error message or code that doesn’t work as intended, users can ask Bard to fix it. Google has cautioned that Bard is still an early experiment, and may sometimes provide inaccurate or misleading information, but the company is working to ensure that it is safe and responsible to use.
Bard is already helping people with a wide range of tasks, from writing lesson plans to inventing new recipes. However, the company has emphasized that users should always double-check Bard’s responses and carefully test and review code for errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities before relying on it.
To develop more capable and responsible AI systems, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has created a new unit called Google DeepMind. This group will bring together two leading research teams in the AI field, the Brain team from Google Research and DeepMind. The creation of this new unit follows the success of Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which has made waves in the AI community.
In summary, Google’s updated AI chatbot, Bard, is a valuable tool for people who are learning to code or working on software development tasks. Bard can generate code, debug, and explain code snippets in more than 20 programming languages. However, users should exercise caution and double-check Bard’s responses before relying on them. The creation of Google DeepMind demonstrates the company’s commitment to developing more capable and responsible AI systems.
