Google Will Update AI Chatbots To Help Users Create Software Codes

JAKARTA - Alphabet Google Inc. announced on Friday April 21 that it will update Bard, their generative artificial intelligence chatbot (AI). This is done to help people write code to develop software, as the tech giant tries to catch up in the fast race in the field of AI technology.

Last month, the company began publicly releasing Bard to catch up with Microsoft Corp.

The ChatGPT release, a chatbot from Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI, last year sparked competition in the technology sector to put AI into the hands of more users.

Google describes Bard as an experiment that allows collaboration with a generative AI, a technology that relies on past data to create content rather than identify content.

The company says Bard can also optimize code to make it faster or more efficient with the help of a simple prompt like "Can you make that code faster?".

Currently, Bard can be accessed by a small group of users who can chat with bots and ask instead of running Google's traditional search tools.
