Google’s Bard Ai Can Tap The Company’s Apps — And Your Personal Data — For Better Responses

Google’s AI chatbot, Bard, has been empowered to pull real-time data from other Google applications including Docs, Maps, Lens, Flights, Hotels and YouTube, as well as the users’ own silo of stored personal data, to provide more relevant and actionable chatbot responses. Bard’s new capabilities are meant to help assuage user concerns and build public trust with the technology through increased transparency and more fully explained reasoning by the AI. The new iteration of Bard is the first time a language model will not only talk about how confident it is in its answer by finding content from across the web and linking to it, but also the first time the language model is willing to admit that it made a mistake or got something wrong.
