Bard is a conversational AI (artificial intelligence), also known as a chatbot, that attempts to compete with OpenAI's popular ChatGPT service. Bard is powered by the language modeler LaMDA and functions as a more user-friendly variant of the experimental chatbot LaMDA 2.

In many respects, the system is comparable to ChatGPT, but Google prioritizes the chatbot's capacity to simplify complex topics for a wide audience. As an example, the company describes Bard explaining astronomical discoveries to an infant.

This experimental technology requires more data to be perfected, so Bard will only be available to "trusted testers" until it is made available to the general public within the next few weeks.

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote, "We will combine external feedback with our own internal testing to ensure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety, and grounding in real-world information."

Pichai asserts that the technology will eventually be integrated into Google Search, transforming complex data and multiple perspectives into a "easy-to-digest format." Nonetheless, there is no specific timeline for this integration beyond "soon."

In the interim, trusted beta testers are granted permission to obtain and install the Bard beta.
