Google Bard set to develop software codes with its latest AI chatbot upgrade

On Friday, Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc, announced its plans to enhance its generative AI chatbot, Bard, to aid individuals in coding for software development. Microsoft's AI chatbot, ChatGPT, which was released last year by the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI, sparked a race among technology companies to make AI more accessible to users. Bard is characterized by Google as an experimental project that enables users to collaborate with generative AI, a type of technology that creates content based on past data rather than identifying it. At present, only a limited group of users can access Bard and interact with the chatbot by asking questions, rather than utilizing Google's conventional search tool.
