UNITED STATES: Google recently unveiled its latest artificial intelligence language model, called BARD, which is set to rival OpenAI’s GPT-3.
What is Google BARD?
BARD, short for “Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers AutoRegressive Decoder,” is a massive neural network that can understand and generate human-like text.
It is designed to perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks, such as answering questions, completing sentences, and even generating whole paragraphs of text.
Is Bard AI available?
As of now, BARD is available in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It remains to be seen how widely Google will make BARD available in the future, but given the company’s history with its other AI tools, we can expect it to become more widely available over time.
How do I get access to Google Bard?
To use Google BARD, interested users can sign up for access through Google’s AI Platform. Access to BARD is currently limited, and approval is required to use the model (you have to be on the waiting list).
Once approved, users can interact with BARD through a simple text input interface, where they can ask questions, complete sentences, or generate text.
Google has also provided a demo of BARD on its blog, where users can try out some of its capabilities. According to the blog post, “You can sign up to try out the model yourself, generate some text or chat with it, and see some of the capabilities of the model in action.”
The demo includes various examples of BARD generating text for tasks such as answering trivia questions, writing movie reviews, and generating song lyrics.
Unique Features of Bard
One of the unique features of BARD is that it can be used to generate annotations for its responses, helping users better understand how it arrived at a particular answer.
This feature can be particularly helpful for researchers and developers who are using BARD to build and train their own language models.
Conclusion
Google BARD is an impressive language model that is set to rival OpenAI’s GPT-3. Its ability to generate annotations for its responses and perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks makes it a valuable tool for researchers and developers alike.
While access to BARD is currently limited, interested users can sign up for access through Google’s AI platform and try out the model for themselves.
