They say that they want to put responsibility front and center. Google recognizes that they have to do this responsibly. ‘60 Minutes’ Made a Shockingly Wrong Claim About a Google AI As we see LLMs become commodified into products, though, companies like Google and OpenAI are becoming increasingly secretive about how they developed their models-much to the frustration of tech ethicists and those concerned with the dangers of AI. This lack of transparency is a break from previous technical reports for their AI models, which usually include the dataset upon which these bots are trained. While the paper stressed multiple times the importance of its training data, it is opaque as to what exactly the model was trained on. With the release of PaLM 2, Google released a 91 page technical report. Outside of that, though, the company’s messaging seems to be more talk than anything else-especially in light of the fact that it will soon unleash a suped-up, multimodal Bard to the masses. This should ostensibly allow users to see whether or not a picture was created by a bot or not. The company will also flag AI-generated images on their Google Images results. Most notably, Google is going to be including watermarks by way of metadata on images generated by Bard. To their credit, the company did mention some things they were going to do in an effort to fight misinformation. Now, Google wants to put it into the hands of millions if not billions of their users. There is a growing body of studies and evidence that show that people are susceptible to the suggestions of chatbots even if they know they’re talking to a chatbot. The ability for the AIs to deepfake reality, while also hallucinating facts turn them from simple tech tools and into dangerous weapons when put into the hands of bad actors. ![]() Google’s AI Chatbot Bard Spews Misinformation and Hate, Researchers Find ![]() The music industry is even changing due to AI versions of artists like Drake singing songs they’ve never performed in their lives. We’ve already seen people get tricked by deepfaked images of Trump’s arrest. Generative AI tools like image generators and voice replicators have already been wreaking havoc on social media. The dangers inherent to these AI tools have been known for years, and have only become more and more starkly clear in the past few months since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. While the speakers constantly stressed approaching AI responsibly and ethically, the fact that Google’s leaders are rolling out an even more powerful version of Bard that includes the ability to generate images indicates that-for all their talk of responsibility-their actions are doing quite the opposite. This means that Bard will now be in the hands of anyone who wants it-allowing them to chat, generate jokes, prompt engineer stories, and create AI-generated images to their heart's content.īut this is where things start to get tricky. Perhaps most surprisingly, Google also announced that there would no longer be a waitlist to its Bard chatbot and that anyone will be able to use it (provided they live in one of the more than 180 countries it’s available). It can also generate images using text prompts a la DALL-E or Midjourney.įor example, you might upload a photo you just took of your two dogs and ask Bard “write a funny caption for this photo,” and it’ll give you such knee slappers like, “When you’re trying to figure out which one of you is a good boy.” This allows it to use image inputs as well as text. PaLM 2 gives Bard a host of new capabilities and tools such as multimodal functionality. Pichai also announced PaLM 2, the latest update to its underlying large language model (LLM) that now powers Bard and will be the foundation for all of the AI-infused products going forward. ![]() For example, you might ask Gmail to “write me an email announcing the birth of my baby boy,” and it will create a draft for you that you can then edit and send off. Google’s other products such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides will also be receiving additional AI tools such as “help me write,” which will enable users to prompt the AI to generate text for them. ![]()
