Sundar Pichai pushes Googlers to spend more time improving its Bard AI

Google CEO, Sundar Pichai has asked employees to spend 2 to 4 hours on improving Bard, Google’s recently-released AI chatbot, reported Business Insider (BI) citing a leaked company-wide email. Bard is the company’s AI chatbot that Google intends to integrate into search.

The email indicates urgency in Google’s approach in order to win the next generation of AI-based search. Google has been pushed to the sidelines as Microsoft has garnered attention for its investment in OpenAI. Notably, OpenAI created ChatGPT, which has gained popularity in recent months. ChatGPT, the chatbot, was released in 2022.

It can respond to broad, open-ended questions with human-like answers, the report said.
