Google reportedly moved forward with the troubled launch of its AI chatbot Bard last month despite internal warnings from employees who described the tool as a “pathological liar” prone to spewing out responses riddled with false information that can “result in serious injury or death.”
Bard testers flagged concerns that the chatbot was spitting out information ranging from inaccurate to potentially dangerous.One worker described Bard as a “pathological liar” after viewing erratic responses, according to a screenshot of an internal discussion obtained by Bloomberg. A second employee reportedly referred to Bard’s performance as “cringe-worthy.”
Google CEO Sundar Pichai raised eyebrows when he admitted that the company didn’t “fully understand” its own technology. Employees who spoke to the outlet said Google executives opted to refer to Bard and other new AI products as “experiments” so that the public would be willing to overlook their early struggles.As Bard advanced closer to a potential launch, Google purportedly relaxed requirements for AI that are meant to dictate when a particular product is safe for public use.
A committee of senior leaders for Google’s product, research, and business leaders then determines whether the AI project should move forward and what adjustments are needed, Gennai added.
