Bard: ‘Things will go wrong’: Read Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s memo on Bard AI chatbot – Times of India
Google has opened early access to its AI-powered chatbot, Bard, which was announced last month. The ChatGPT rival was tested by 80,000 Google employees and the company CEO, Sundar Pichai, said in a memo to staff that it is now in people’s hands to improve the product. He also warned employees that ‘things will go wrong’ but Bard’s capabilities “will surprise us.”
Google’s Bard is built on Google’s Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) and is claimed to offer conversational responses to questions – something we have already seen in OpenAI’s ChatGPT and AI-powered chatbot in Microsoft Bing.
With this launch, Google becomes the latest company to join the AI chatbot fray. It is yet to be seen how ChatGPT and Bard fare against each other.
Here’s Pichai’s full memo to Googlers:
Hi, Googlers
Last week was an important week in Al with our announcements around Cloud, Developer, and Workspace. There’s even more to come this week as we begin to expand access to Bard, which we first announced in February.
Starting today, people in the US and the UK can sign up at bard.google.com. This is just a first step, and we’ll continue to roll it out to more countries and languages over time.
I’m grateful to the Bard team who has probably spent more time with Bard than anything or anyone else over the past few weeks. Also hugely appreciative of the 80,000 Googlers who have helped test it in the company-wide dogfood. We should be proud of this work and the years of tech breakthroughs that led us here, including our 2017 Transformer research and foundational models such as PalM and BERT.
Even after all this progress, we’re still in the early stages of a long Al journey. As more people start to use Bard and test its capabilities, they’ll surprise us. Things will go wrong. But the user feedback is critical to improving the product and the underlying technology.
We’ve taken a responsible approach to development, including inviting 10,000 trusted testers from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, and we’ll continue to welcome all the feedback that’s about to come our way. We will learn from it and keep iterating and improving.
For now, I’m excited to see how Bard sparks more creativity and curiosity in the people who use it. And I look forward to sharing the full breadth of our progress in Al to help people, businesses and communities as we approach I/O in May.

Late to the party is not a problem
Last month, soon after announcing Bard, Pichai addressed employees’ concerns about slow response in launching a ChatGPT rival product. He said that Google has not always been the first to release a product but it has not been a hurdle in the company’s ability to win.

“Some of our most successful products were not first to market. They gained momentum because they solved important user needs and were built on deep technical insights,” Pichai reportedly told employees.
