?? Google's $100B Loss: Can BARD Chatbot Compete with ChatGPT After Epic Failure?

?? Welcome Readers,

???? This week, AI takes an exciting turn with companies going further and further (not everyone) with AI in their product, whereas the EU plans to attack them on their knees.

?? Let us look at what is brewing in Microsoft's mind and what Google developed from their ancient model LaMDA to counter ChatGPT!

1) Can ChatGPT Bing (be)at Google?

Ahead of Microsoft's $10 Billion investment in OpenAI, Bing, their in-house search engine, comes fully equipped with the same weights that back ChatGPT to provide a more intricate AI-powered search. To add to it, it also comes packed among the crevices of the new Microsoft Edge internet browser.

However, like ChatGPT, Bing tends to act funky while powering this search with AI, as sentences and headlines generated from existing articles seem to deviate from the truth with details like dates and numbers.

Can we look at a search engine shift from users in the upcoming time?

2) "Okay, Google, Retrain your model"

Just a day after the surprise announcement from Microsoft talking about the integration of ChatGPT into their products, Google came floundering with their ChatGPT counterpart, BARD. The announcement stream, which shows the bot giving a wrong answer to a prompt, commenced a decline in the market value of Alphabet's, Google's parent company, by a staggering $100 Billion.

Trained upon Google's earlier attempt at language models LaMDA, the model needs to catch up to its counterpart's GPT-3 weights.

Will we see a better iteration of this model to compete with ChatGPT's better-tailored responses to users in the race for the better Search Engine?

3) What does GitHub CEO have to say about the EU's AI Act?

European Union's AI Act may influence the upcoming policies that govern the use, training, and requirements of AI all over the world. GitHub's CEO, Thomas Dohmke, however, not going totally against the model, asks for exemptions for Open-Source developers who are working on such projects purely out of passion, curiosity, and fun.

The act, first introduced in 2021, focuses on three major points regarding the use of AI, which are the use of AI to run applications of unacceptable risk like the ones used by China for Social Scoring, the use of AI to aid employment and giving unnecessary advantage to people leveraging keywords, and lastly applications that are not in check and govern unregulated like Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT.

If you are working on a revolutionary AI, you better hurry up!
