The company said Bard can also optimize code to make it faster or more efficient with simple prompts such as "Could you make that code faster?".Ĭurrently, Bard can be accessed by a small set of users who can chat with the bot and ask questions instead of running Google's traditional search tool. Google describes Bard as an experiment allowing collaboration with generative AI, technology that relies on past data to create rather than identify content.īard will be able to code in 20 programming languages including Java, C++ and Python, and can also help debug and explain code to users, Google said on Friday.

The release of ChatGPT, a chatbot from the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI, last year caused a sprint in the technology sector to put AI into more users' hands.

Last month, the company started the public release of Bard to gain ground on Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O). Some countries and schools are even considering coding languages to be an acceptable form of a foreign language. April 21 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google said on Friday it will update Bard, its generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, to help people write code to develop software, as the tech giant plays catch-up in a fast-moving race on AI technology. Canva Coding has become a critical skill for many jobs.
