According to the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily", Alphabet announced on Tuesday local time that it would terminate its cooperation agreement with Appen, an Australian artificial intelligence company. The latter has been involved in training Google's chatbot Bard platform, as well as large model AI tools used in other products. It was previously reported that Australian artificial intelligence company Appen is considering selling some or all of its business.

After the search generation experience (SGE) and slideshows, Google Bard will launch its own AI image generator to provide users with a wider creative space, as reported by IT House on January 18. According to the unpublished Google Bard changelog dated January 18, users can easily create images with Bard. Like other tools, Bard offers an easy creative process where users can bring their imagination to life with just a few words. This feature will be powered by Google's Imagen family of models. In December, Google launched Imagen2, which aims to dramatically improve image quality, especially for enterprise use cases like logo generation or creating images with text overlays. Unlike a similar image generator launched by Google Search in October, Google Bard's image generator will be added to Google Slides and Meet (for custom backgrounds) as part of Duet AI to provide users with more personalized image generation capabilities.

According to IT Home on January 4, it was reported that Google plans to launch an advanced paid version of its AI language model Bard - Bard Advanced, which is similar to the ChatGPT Plus paid subscription service. It is reported that Bard Advanced will provide a series of additional features and improvements on the basis of the existing free version, mainly including the breadth of information acquisition: Bard Advanced will access a wider range of data sources to provide users with richer and more detailed responses; response quality improvement: the optimized algorithm will generate more accurate, smooth, and accurate output that matches user needs; priority processing: Bard Advanced users will enjoy faster response speed and priority queue position.

As reported by Xinzhiyuan on January 1, Meta's researcher Martin Signoux made 8 predictions for AI in 2024: 1. Artificial intelligence smart glasses have become a trend. With the rise of multimodal technology, leading AI companies will redouble their efforts to develop AI wearables. What could be better than a glasses form factor to host an AI assistant? 2. ChatGPT is to AI assistants what Google is to search. In 2023, ChatGPT is starting to shine, with Bard, Claude, Llama, Mistral, and thousands of spin-offs coming out one after another. As productization continues to advance, ChatGPT will no longer be the only reference standard in this field, and its valuation will also face revision. 3. Goodbye to large model models, hello multimodal models. LMMs will continue to emerge and replace LLMs in the debate over multimodal evaluation, multimodal safety, multimodal this, multimodal that. In addition, LMM is a stepping stone towards a true general AI assistant. 4. No major breakthroughs, but improvements on all fronts. The new model will not lead to a real breakthrough (GPT-5), LLMs are still limited in nature, and are prone to hallucinations. We won't see any leaps that make them reliable enough in 2024 to "solve the basic AGI." 5. Small models (SLMs) are already emerging, but cost-effectiveness and sustainability considerations will accelerate this trend. Quantitative technology will also be greatly improved, thereby driving a wave of device integration for consumer services. 6. The Open Source model defeated GPT-4, and the battle between Open Source and closed gradually subsided. Looking back at the vitality and progress of the Open Source community over the past 12 months, it's clear that the Open Source model will soon close the performance gap. 7. Benchmarks remain a challenge. Benchmark, leaderboard, or evaluation tools are a one-stop shop for model evaluation. Instead, we will see a series of improvements (such as HELM) and new initiatives (such as GAIA), especially in terms of multimodality. 8. The risks that exist are not much discussed compared to the existing ones. While X-risk makes headlines in 2023, public discussion will focus more on existing risks and controversies related to bias, fake news, user safety, election integrity, and more.

The UK's National Crime Agency has asked law enforcement officers to be prepared for potential virtual world-based crimes that could have real-life physical effects on victims, Golden Finance reported. In an interview with the Evening Standard, NCA Director Graeme Biggar said that rape and murder that occur in virtual reality may have to be considered a criminal offense. According to Biggar, metaverse users wearing haptic suits will be able to feel the physical effects of rape or murder. The haptic suit allows the wearer to perceive the movements carried out in virtual reality. The announcement is part of a broader interview about the potential benefits and risks of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, which has spawned popular apps like ChatGPT and Google Bard.

Former Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, admitted to citing AI-generated bogus court cases in a legal filing submitted to a federal judge, The Verge, citing The New York Times on December 29. Cohen used Google Bard for research after mistaking it for a "supersearch engine" rather than an AI chatbot, according to a document released Friday. It is reported that the document is a motion asking a federal judge to shorten Cohen's three-year probation. Cohen is currently facing a three-year suspended sentence after serving a prison sentence and pleading guilty to tax evasion and other charges. After reviewing the summary of the letter, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman wrote in a filing that "none of these cases existed" and asked Cohen's attorney, David Schwartz, to explain why the three cases were included in the motion and whether Cohen helped draft the motion.

PANews reported on December 26 that according to BeInCrypto citing DefiLlama data, the financing amount of crypto companies will drop sharply in 2023, raising only $6.25 billion, a decrease of 71.59% from the financing amount of $22 billion in 2022. February 2023 was the highest, at about $877 million. Many businesses are at risk of going out of business this year due to reduced funding. In fact, many companies have had to cease operations or take redundancies due to a lack of capital. At the same time, AI companies received a lot of funding in 2023 as the emergence of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Bard attracted investor interest. As of the third quarter of 2023, AI companies have raised about $33 billion this year.

The European Union has reached an agreement that promises to be the most comprehensive regulation of artificial intelligence in the Western world, as reported by the Financial Associated Press on December 9. Representatives from the European Commission, the European Parliament and the 27 member states agreed to a series of controls on generative AI tools such as OpenAI Inc.'s ChatGPT and Google's Bard that can produce content on command, Thierry Breton, head of the EU's internal market, said in a post on the social media site X on Friday. The draft legislation still needs to be formally approved by EU member states and parliament, but the agreement marks a key step towards the EU's landmark AI policy in the absence of any significant action by the US Congress. This sets the tone for regulation of this rapidly evolving technology. The European Union aims to implement strict regulatory measures for AI for the first time outside of Asia.

Google is integrating new AI features into its smart assistant on mobile devices, with a version called "Classic Assistant" coming soon, as reported by Webmaster's Home on November 24. Android in-depth researcher AssembleDeBug revealed that the latest code shows that users will be able to choose whether to use the "Assistant" with integrated Bard, which will bring more AI capabilities than the current version. The current code shows that users can switch back to the classic version of Assistant by going into the settings of the Google app. However, users won't be able to use both classic Assistant features and AI-enhanced versions at the same time, and will have to make a choice at launch. Previously, it was reported in August that Google was applying the latest large language model technology to the intelligent assistant Google Assistant.

In September, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google, accusing Google of stifling competition by maintaining it as the default search engine on web browsers and mobile devices through $10 billion deals every year, according to the Financial Associated Press. Recently, some media asked Bard about this matter. When asked if he agreed with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bard chose to side with the federal government, claiming that U.S. prosecutors' evidence clearly showed that Google was "illegally using its monopoly power to maintain its dominance in the online search market." "I think the Justice Department should have the upper hand in this case," Bard said. "If Google is found to have violated antitrust laws, the court should order Google to change its business practices to make it easier for other search engines to compete." This will lead to increased competition in the online search market and lower prices for consumers. ”

Apple CEO Tim Cook's explanation of Apple's generative AI initiatives seems to have become uninspiring, sparking discontent among shareholders, according to Webmaster's House. While Apple has yet to launch a generative AI product that competes with the likes of ChatGPT and Google Bard, Cook appears to have reached the point of "mass production" when answering questions about Apple's generative AI initiatives. During a recent earnings call, Mr. Cook laid out the company's AI strategy in almost identical terms, sometimes sounding like he was reading the same script. Commenting on Apple's AI journey, he said: "We see AI and machine learning as foundational technologies, and they're part of almost every product we showcase. He went on to list a number of AI features that are already being used in Apple products, including crash detection, fall detection, and the ECG feature on the Apple Watch.

In a blog post published over the weekend, Google announced that it would expand its bug bounty program to include bugs and vulnerabilities found in generative AI systems, as reported by Forbes on October 31. The program will cover Google's own generative AI products, such as Google Bard, as well as Google Cloud's Contact Center AI, Agent Assist, and more. Eligible vulnerabilities will be eligible for bounties of up to $30,000.

Large language models (LLMs) don't give answers instantaneously, so there's a delay between typing a question and getting an answer, as reported by IT House on October 29. Bing Chat provides answers by showing a subset of replies line by line before the answer is fully generated, while Google Bard displays all replies at once after the answer is fully generated, but now Google Bard already offers a reply similar to Bing Chat. Google has given Bard an option to "respond in real-time" to make the response feel faster. When this option is turned on, the answer will be displayed in real time while it is in progress, and the text will appear line by line.

According to a new report by app subscription service Setapp, 42 percent of Mac users say they use AI-based applications every day, and 63 percent believe AI applications are more beneficial than apps without AI, TechCrunch reported on October 16. Mac app developers are also embracing AI, with 44% already implementing AI or machine learning models in their applications and another 28% saying they are in the process of implementing them. The survey received responses from 1,241 Mac users, mostly in the United States, so it doesn't necessarily provide a picture of the adoption of AI applications worldwide. However, the report highlights the interest of this segment of Mac users in AI applications, noting that the most popular AI applications include those that are not unique to macOS, such as Google's AI Bard and Bing, which integrates OpenAI's AI technology. Other AI applications mentioned by users include TypingMind, Elephas, Spark, Notion, Grammarly, Craft, Luminar Neo, MacGPT, Asana, Raycast, and MacWhisper.

According to a report by Webmaster House on October 12, Google's Bard project aims to develop a generative AI tool. In recent months, Google's parent company Alphabet has been holding internal discussions about its AI chatbot Bard, specifically inviting heavy users to participate. But news on internal forums shows that insiders are beginning to doubt the product's potential. Some product managers, designers, and engineers began to doubt the effectiveness of Bard and questioned whether the company was worth investing significant resources in its research and development. A senior product manager said at the forum that he was skeptical of the results produced by the Big Language Model (LLM) AI chatbot, arguing that the models should not be trusted unless the accuracy of the information is independently verified. Another head of the UX group believes that the challenge for big language models is that it's not clear exactly what they can do and when they will have a significant impact on humans. Google responded that discussions about Bard's limitations and potential in internal forums were normal and wanted to listen to user feedback to improve the user experience.

According to WinBuzzer, quoted by IT House, Microsoft was granted an AI customer service patent this month, which can effectively handle user problems through natural language. The patent points out that existing customer service systems are basically connected to customer service robots, but they can only handle routine task needs, providing relevant responses based on keywords or related preset content, unlike tools such as Bing Chat, Google Bard or ChatGPT. Microsoft has introduced natural language processing (NLP) technology into the AI customer service patent to systematically generate relevant answer content through relevant data training. Essentially a breakthrough AI model designed to use a common language to decode pressing technical problems and find the most appropriate solutions.

According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily on October 6, at a new product launch conference recently, Google officially released the new generation of Android flagship phone Pixel 8/Pro series, equipped with the Tensor G3 chip, which can run more complex ML (machine learning) ) model, adding a number of AI enhancements to the new phone, such as reading web pages to users in different languages and "more natural" voices, and virtual assistants speaking more naturally. Google points out that the Pixel 8 Pro is the first phone to run Google's basic large model directly on the device, which requires 150 times the calculation of the largest ML model on the Pixel 7. At the same time, Google announced the launch of "Assistant with Bard" for Android and iOS devices, which combines the mobile phone's personal assistant function with generative AI. Users can interact with the Bard Assistant through text, voice or images - In other words, it is multimodal.

According to foreign media reports cited by Jinshi on October 4, Google will soon release a version of its virtual assistant powered by the Bard robot to help users handle more complex tasks. The new product, called "Assistant with Bard," will soon enter the testing phase before being rolled out to the public in the coming months. The virtual assistant, which can help users of Android and Google devices complete tasks and find information, will have some of the features of the chatbot Bard.

According to IT House's report on September 29, as generative AI services such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Bing Chat and Google Bard are increasingly used as substitutes for search engines, they have also encountered some personal and company concerns. Resistance, these website developers do not want their website data to be used for AI model training. Google today announced a new way for website developers to choose to allow its Bard and Vertex AI services to access their content, or choose not to use these APIs to train models. In a blog post, Google announced the launch of Google-Extended, a new control that website developers can use to manage their sites with the help of Bard and Vertex AI. Websites can currently provide a list of people who refuse to be crawled through robots.txt, and Google believes that all AI model providers should also provide this similar transparency and control method. However, as AI applications expand, websites will face the increasing complexity of managing different uses at scale. Google said it will share more information soon.

According to a report by Webmaster Home on September 21, a new report released by the JournalismAI program of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) shows that generative AI (genAI) brings new opportunities to the journalism industry. The report surveyed more than 100 news organizations from 46 countries between April and July 2023. According to the survey results, more than 73% of news organizations believe that genAI, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard, brings new opportunities to the journalism industry. This shows that news organizations are beginning to realize the potential of AI technology and can play a greater role in the news production process. More than 70% of news organizations believe that generative AI (genAI) such as ChatGPT or Google Bard will bring new opportunities to the journalism industry. More than 85% of respondents, including journalists, technologists, and news organization managers, have at least tried using genAI to help write code, generate images, and write summaries. On the other hand, respondents also recognized that AI-generated content needs to be reviewed manually to mitigate potential bias and inaccuracies.

According to Sina Technology reports, Google today launched a series of updates to its generative artificial intelligence robot Bard, which has the ability to fact-check answers and analyze users' Google personal data to catch up with competitor ChatGPT. According to data from website analysis company Similarweb, in August this year, Bard had 183 million visits, which was only 13% of ChatGPT's visits. Last year, Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence startup OpenAI triggered an AI technology arms race in the technology industry after it released the generative chatbot ChatGPT. At that time, ChatGPT became the fastest growing consumer application of all time and is now one of the top 30 websites in the world. But Google's Bard didn't take off at the same pace. As previously reported, Google Bard artificial intelligence chatbot already supports plug-in functions.

PANews reported on September 19 that Bard, a large generative AI model owned by Google, released a version update today. The new version has improved model capabilities; it can obtain information from other Google services (such as Maps, YouTube) and process content (such as Gmail, Docs, Drive); it can use Google search to verify the results output by Bard; it can continue from conversations shared by others. Chat; expands rich functionality to all already supported languages.

According to IT House news, on September 19, the artificial intelligence chat robot Google Bard released the latest update, adding plug-in support for Google applications, including Gmail, Docs, Drive, etc. Google says this is the most powerful version of Bard to date, making collaboration more efficient across languages and countries around the world. In addition to plug-in support, Google Bard has also added a "public link sharing" feature, allowing users to share their conversations with Bard with anyone, who can continue the conversation on their own devices. Additionally, Bard can "check" his answers. At the bottom of each answer is a "G" button (for Google) that users can click to have Bard double-check their answer on Google. Google Bard is currently open to public preview, and users can experience it online for free.
