Google Inc. is testing new artificial intelligence (AI) chat products, including a new chatbot and a possible way to integrate it into its search engine. These products may affect Google’s future public product releases.
Google is working on a project called Atlas under its cloud computing division in response to the threat posed by the viral chatbot ChatGPT. Google is also testing a chatbot called Apprentice Bard. Employees can ask it questions and get detailed answers similar to ChatGPT. In recent weeks, Google management has been asking more employees for feedback on the effort.
“The Apprentice Bud” uses Google’s conversational technology LaMDA, or Language Model for Conversational Applications. It looks similar to ChatGPT: Employees can enter a question into a dialog box, get a text answer, and then provide feedback on the answer. According to some of the replies seen by CNBC, “The Apprentice Bud”‘s answers may include recent events, a feature ChatGPT does not yet have.
Google clearly felt the pressure of ChatGPT and asked the team to prioritize the development of its own chatbot. “Due to the popularity of ChatGPT, the LaMDA team has been asked to prioritize its response to ChatGPT,” reads a memo, “which takes priority over other projects in the short term.” The memo also warned some employees to stop participating in certain unrelated s meeting.
Another Google product division is also testing a new search desktop design that can be used in a question-and-answer format. One view shows that Google’s main search page offers five different hints for potential questions, placed directly below the main search bar, replacing the current “I’m feeling lucky” column. It also displays a small chat icon at the far right of the search bar. When typing in a question, search results display a gray bubble directly below the search field, offering more human-like responses than common search results. Just below this, the page suggests several follow-up questions related to the first question, and below this are common search results, including links and titles. (Author/Xiao Yu)
