Raghavan wrote in comments that were translated into German, “This then expresses itself in such a way that a machine provides a convincing but entirely made-up answer.” Keeping this to a minimum was one of the essential duties, he continued.
According to Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president at Google and head of Google Search, “this kind of artificial intelligence we’re talking about right now can sometimes lead to something we call hallucination.”
Following the November launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI, a startup that Microsoft (MSFT.O) is investing about $10 billion in, Google has been put on the defensive. ChatGPT has impressed users with its remarkably human-like responses to user queries.
Alphabet Inc. unveiled Bard, a chatbot, earlier this week. However, the software shared false information in a promotional video, resulting in a mistake that caused the company’s market value to drop by $100 billion on Wednesday.
Alphabet has not yet stated a release date for Bard, which is still undergoing user testing.
Raghavan stated, “We obviously feel the urgency, but we also feel the great responsibility.” Without a doubt, we don’t intend to mislead the public.
