Following on from the recent launch of Google Bard which has seen some questionable results, Sundar Pichai has confirmed some big changes are coming.
Pichai, Google’s CEO, recently went onto The New York Times Podcast and said the following:
“But we are going to be training fast. We clearly have more capable models. Pretty soon, maybe as this goes live, we will be upgrading Bard to some of our more capable PaLM models, so which will bring more capabilities, be it in reasoning, coding. It can answer math questions better. So you will see progress over the course of next week.”
In the near future, we can expect a major update to Google Bard which could prove the AI’s competency in coding and maths. We’ve recently had a look at the chatbot’s issue with plagiarism, which had recently garnered unwanted attention for Google’s entry to AI. Now that an update in logic ability is coming for Bard, we might even expect these issues to be solved.
The Google CEO’s appearance on the podcast comes at a convenient time, especially considering the recent theories that Bard was trained using ChatGPT.

Following on from the recent open letter asking to “pause giant AI experiments,” Pichai has also states that they don’t advance AI too far without being fully “sure we can handle it well.” If Google are capable of developing an AI more powerful than GPT-4, at least we know they won’t release it just yet.
To add to that, Pichai has stated that “thre is no way to do this effectively without getting governments involved,” which is not something that he is encouraging at all.
