Google CEO Sundar Pichai has announced an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered chatbot called Bard, a rival to ChatGPT. Let us know the recent developments related to the market of Artificial Intelligence and the answers to some important questions related to it.
What is the meaning of bard
Bard means 'a person who can write poetry or poetry i.e. a poet'. Bard refers to a person who is skilled in composing and reciting verses on heroes and their deeds. Google has developed Bard to give accurate answers to the questions of its customers, hence it is named Bard i.e. poet. Now this Bard of Google will directly compete with ChatGPT developed by OpenAI. Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the project in a blog post, describing Bard as an experimental conversational AI service that will answer questions and interact with users.
Who was Blake Lemoine and what is his connection to the Bard?
The chatbot announced by Google called Bard is powered by the same artificial intelligence technology called Lambda, which was described as sensitive by Blake Lemoine, a former Google employee. Explain that the credit for developing Lambda goes to Limone. He made his chats with Lambda public, calling her sensitive. Google fired Blake Limoine after this claim.
How much is Google investing in Anthropic?
Google has announced an investment in Anthropic, a lesser-known company created by former OpenAI employees. According to tech market experts, in return for its investment, Google has entered into an agreement to acquire a 10 per cent stake in Anthropic. According to media reports, under this agreement, Google will invest $ 400 million (about Rs 32 billion) in Anthropic. Google has agreed to partner with Anthropic but has not clearly disclosed how much the IT company is investing in the new fledgling AI startup? According to a report in the Financial Times, at the end of the year 2022, Google has invested 300 (about Rs 24 billion) million in exchange for a ten percent stake in an AI startup started on ChatGPT's record. After that last week, Anthropic has announced that it is taking Google's help for cloud services, it is developing AI computing system with Google.
Is the Google-Anthropic relationship similar to Microsoft-OpenAI?
The answer to this question is yes. The partnership between Google and Anthropic is similar to that between Microsoft and OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT. While OpenAI is providing its research expertise, Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in the development of ChatGPT, providing OpenAI access to its massive cloud platform. These cloud facilities are very important for making AI based startups successful. A few weeks before this news of Google investing in Anthropic, Microsoft had talked about investing $ 10 billion in OpenAI.
Is Anthropic also developing an AI chatbot?
Yes, it is worth noting that Anthropic is also developing a chatbot named Claude which may prove to be a rival to the popular Chat GPT in the near future. Although it is not yet clear whether Google will also use Claude on its platforms in the same way that Microsoft is preparing to do Chat GPT. Google is also working on many projects related to AI from its own level. Despite the layoffs, huge investments have been made on these projects.
Who founded Anthropic, what is its connection with OpenAI?
The story of the making of Anthropic is also very interesting. It was founded by Dario Amodei in the year 2021 as a Public Benefit Corporation. He was previously Vice President of the Research Segment of Open AI. According to the FT, Amodei took a number of engineers with him when he said goodbye to Open AI, including Tom Brown, the lead engineer at GPT-3, which developed the AI language model. Amodei's feud with Open AI began after the startup struck its first deal with Microsoft in 2019. He did not agree with the increasing commercial focus in the company. He believed that the idea that was started with the name OpenAI is going astray. Now OpenAI is not 'Open' but just a name of a company.
Why was Microsoft-backed OpenAI criticized?
OpenAI has been the target of many AI researchers because of its increasingly commercial pursuits. Many AI researchers have criticized OpenAI, accusing it of negligence. ChatGPT has come under further criticism, especially after its launch on the public web late last year. Researchers in the AI field believe that it has been launched without proper security measures or software capabilities. On the other hand, Anthropic (now backed by Google) emphasizes on developing steerable AI systems, describing its AI work as reliable and explanatory on its website. Although it is not yet clear whether Google's investment will change these priorities of Anthropic or not?
What is the connection between Anthropic and cryptoexchange FTX?
Within a year of its founding, Anthropic first came into limelight when it suddenly announced that it had secured $580 million in funding. Most of this amount of funding was invested by Sam Bankman Fried. This is the same Fried who went bankrupt after the collapse of the crypto currency exchange FTX. He was also arrested in this case. He was later granted bail.
