Tech giant Google has recently made a definitive move to enhance its AI capabilities by incorporating its browser-based AI program Bard into Google Assistant. Statistics show a gradual tilt of the scales in favour of AI technology, with the rise of home automation and smart devices. Certainly, the integration of Bard into Google’s existing AI platform amplifies its capabilities, thus opening up unlimited possibilities for user interaction.
Bard, honestly, stands apart in its abilities to undertake tasks that are far beyond the simplistic capabilities of Google Assistant. Notably, Bard is designed to generate a cover letter, create complex codes, compose an essay, answer intricate questions related to history or mathematics, and more. However, in comparison, Google Assistant only manages to answer straightforward questions. Is this a concern for Google Assistant, or an opportunity for significant growth?
Moreover, Google raised quite a few eyebrows during the announcement, unveiling a future where Bard, granted the right permissions, would access a user’s email, enabling it to sift through the contents, create Google Docs documents, and even plan a vacation. As futuristic as this seems, it also begs the question – Is the balance between convenience and privacy tipped too far one way?
Equally intriguing is Bard’s ability to process images. Users can upload an image to Google Bard Assistant, then ask for a caption to be generated for the image. In the wake of these innovative features, user scepticism about data privacy and misuse is a tangible barrier to widespread adoption.
While AI technology holds a promising future, it is far from perfect. Google has experienced some glitches with Bard – instances of the software recommending non-existent hotels are on record. However, the tech behemoth remains undeterred, unveiling Bard in select countries and later extending its access to EU member states, in spite of the region’s stringent AI regulations.
In essence, the future of Google Assistant, Cocktails with enhanced technology like Bard, holds promises of innovation and convenience, and yet the pitfalls of data privacy and system bugs are impossible to ignore. Nonetheless, the race to the top for AI giants Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI continues unabated.
