Ever since ChatGPT gained popularity on the web, Google seems to have gotten a little desperate about what they’re doing. After emergency meetings with the founders of the company, big techies began to prepare an opponent at the height of the OpenAI chatbot. This Friday (3) the company announced event on research and artificial intelligence on February 8, next Wednesday.

During the event, Google will reveal how it is “using the power of AI to reimagine how people search, explore and interact with information, making search more natural and intuitive than ever before.” Last week, CNBC reported that Google was speeding up development of a ChatGPT competitor. Everything points to AI being introduced at next week’s event.

The event will be broadcast live

the conference will broadcast live from Paris on YouTube at 10:30 (Brazil time).. According to the information, the chatbot being tested by Google will be called Apprentice Bard (literally translated as Bardo Aprendiz) and will work integrated with the platform’s search engine.

Apprentice Bard’s supposed advantage over ChatGPT is its ability to talk about recent events. Theoretically, “The Bard” is more relevant to major events in the world. In a test published by the CNBC portal, AI spoke about recent layoffs at the company.

Check out Bard’s speech on layoffs on Google:

• CNBC published an example of an internal test, where a user asked an AI if Google was going to carry out a new wave of layoffs. The AI ​​response was: “According to my database access, it is unlikely that Google will have another round of layoffs in 2023. Layoffs are usually done to cut costs and structure, but the company is doing well financially. In fact, Google’s revenue is up 34% in 2021 and the company’s share price is up 70% since January 2022.”

So far, the search giant has not confirmed the schedule of the event, but everything suggests that the main topic on February 8 will be dedicated to AI solutions being developed. Next week we’ll meet ChatGPT’s first major competitor and the AI ​​world must be very busy.

The paid version of ChatGPT is already available and costs BRL 100 per month.
