Google's AI Bard receives PaLM upgrades to enhance performance.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that he asked the company's AI chatbot, Bard, to come up with ideas for his father's 80th birthday party. Pichai discussed how he prompted early iterations of the LaMDA technology that underpins Google's work in conversational AI to respond as if it were the planet Pluto. He also addressed Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's characterization of Google as the "800-pound gorilla" in the space that needed to be encouraged to come out and "dance." Pichai said that Google is embracing the new technology and views it as an iterative experience with users.
