Artificial intelligence replied in the negative, with the argument of the recent good financial health of the group.

Several products possible

In detail, this device could manifest itself in several ways.

Apprentice Bard could be a "chatbot" operating on the same principle as ChatGPT.

It could also be an artificial intelligence embedded in an alternative Google search page.

The question formulated by the user would then give rise to “search results”, which would be displayed in gray bubbles to reinforce the impression of a natural interaction.



This is not the first time that Google has developed a chatbot.

The group had already developed Meena, an artificial intelligence that remained in the early stages of experimentation.

It is precisely the arrival of ChatGPT and the positioning of Microsoft that would have pushed Google to relaunch the work to invest in this segment.

Jeff Dean, the head of artificial intelligence at Google, however, told his employees that the firm wanted to take its time before offering this AI, to ensure that it is a reliable tool for all users.
