Google is now conducting tests on its chatbot known as “Bard,” and has invited netizens in the United States and United Kingdom to test it.

Google’s chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI) will compete with OpenAI and Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.

In a blog post on Tuesday, Google described Bard as an early AI experiment to enhance productivity, accelerate ideas, and foster curiosity.

The post – titled Try Bard and share your feedback – was authored by Sissie Hsiao, product vice president, and Eli Collins, research vice president.

Bard began rolling out access in the US and UK, with plans to expand it to more countries and languages.

“We’ll continue to improve Bard and add capabilities, including coding, more languages and multimodal experiences,” the blog post said.​​​​​​​

The company also warned users that Bard may make mistakes in some answers.

Testers will need to sign in to Bard through a Google account.
