Google ignored employee warnings that Bard, its AI chatbot and ChatGPT rival, was a pathological liar and potentially dangerous, according to a new report.
Google launched Bard, its ChatGPT rival, despite internal concerns that it was a “pathological liar” and produced “cringe-worthy” results, a new report has claimed. These worries were apparently ignored in a frantic attempt to catch up with ChatGPT and see off the threat it could pose to Google’s search business.
For instance, Bloomberg cites an anonymous employee who asked Bard for instructions on how to land a plane, then were horrified to see that Bard’s description would lead to a crash. A different worker said Bard’s scuba diving tips “would likely result in serious injury or death.” Related Videos Rushing ahead to launch In 2021, Google pledged to double its team of employees studying the ethical consequences of artificial intelligence and invest more heavily in determining potential harms. Yet that team is now “disempowered and demoralized,” Bloomberg claims. Worse, team members have been told “not to get in the way or to try to kill any of the generative AI tools in development,” bringing Google’s commitment to AI ethics into question.
