Google‘s CEO Sundar Pichai admitted he doesn’t ‘fully understand’ how the company’s new AI program Bard works, as a new expose shows some of the kinks are still being worked out.
One of the big problems discovered with Bard is something that Pichai called ’emergent properties,’ or AI systems having taught themselves unforeseen skills.
Google’s AI program was able to, for example, learn Bangladeshi without training after being prompted in the language.
‘There is an aspect of this which we call – all of us in the field call it as a ‘black box.’ You know, you don’t fully understand,’ Pichai admitted. ‘And you can’t quite tell why it said this, or why it got wrong. We have some ideas, and our ability to understand this gets better over time. But that’s where the state of the art is.’
DailyMail.com has tested out Bard recently, in which it told us it had plans for world domination starting in 2023.
