Google declined to provide much new information about its conversational AI search tool Bard, powered by the LaMDA model, during a live YouTube stream from the company's Paris office. He repeated what was written by CEO Sundhar Puchai in a blog post on Monday.
It seemed like a muted response to Microsoft's verbiage at its event yesterday at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, where CEO Satya Nadella said "the race starts today" in search, and that “we will go fast.”
After the event, Google shares fell 8% after Reuters reported that a Twitter ad for the new Bard service contained inaccurate information about the first satellite to take pictures of a planet outside of Earth's solar system.
Google will release Bard to trusted testers this weekPuchai was not present at the Parisian event. Instead, Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's SVP Head of Search, said "search is still our biggest moonshot," adding that "the moon keeps moving."

It will open Bard to trusted testers this week, with a "high bar for quality, security and anchorage ahead of a wider launch," he said.
Overall, Google presented search as a holistic, multi-sensory experience. He touted improvements to Translate, Maps and Lens, in particular "multisearch" - searching with images and text together, for a combination of words and images that communicate meaning. Multisearch will go live globally on mobile in more than 70 languages in which Lens has a global presence, the company announced.
Raghavan also noted that Google continues to prioritize approaches that will "allow us to send valuable traffic to a wide range of creators and support a healthy and open web," he said.< /p>
Google also announced that it will start onboarding developers, creators, and businesses to try out its generative AI API next month.
Did Google miss the moment?Nevertheless, many people on Twitter found the Google event disappointing and noted that a cellphone appeared to go missing during a demo and the live event ended abruptly, the Q&A seeming to take place in private.
