San Francisco. After facing criticism about its ChatGPT rival called Bard and Google, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has said that the company will soon release a more capable AI model. Bard was released to the public on March 21, but failed to attract the attention won by OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot.

“We obviously have more capable models,” Pichai said during The New York Times Hard Fork podcast. “Very soon, we will be upgrading Bard to some of our more capable Pathway Language Model (PLM) models, which will bring more capabilities, reasoning , be it in coding, it can answer math questions better.”

“So you’ll see progress over the course of the next week,” Pichai said.

Pichai said that the reason for Bard’s limited capabilities was a sense of caution within Google.

“For me, it was important not to put out a more capable model before we were absolutely sure we could handle it well,” he was quoted as saying in the report.

Pichai confirmed that he is in talks with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin about the job.

He also expressed concern that the development of AI is currently proceeding too rapidly and ‘may have become a threat to society.’

“This needs a lot of debate, no one knows all the answers,” Pichai said.

Google has denied reports that it is copying Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT to train its AI chatbot called Bard.

A report in The Information claimed that OpenAI’s success ‘has forced two AI research teams within Google’s parent, Alphabet, to set aside years of intense rivalry to work together.’

According to the report, citing sources, software engineers from Google’s Brain AI group are working with employees of DeepMind, a sibling company within Alphabet, to develop software to compete with OpenAI.

However, a Google spokesperson told The Verge that “Bord has not been trained on any data from ShareGPT or ChatGPT.”(IANS)
