(Reuters) – Alphabet Inc’s 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\u00a0plays catch-up in a fast-moving race on AI technology. <\/p>\n

Last month, the company started the public release of Bard to gain ground on Microsoft Corp. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Google describes Bard as an experiment allowing collaboration with generative AI, technology that relies on past data to create rather than identify content.<\/p>\n

Bard 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. <\/p>\n

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?”.<\/p>\n

Currently, 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.<\/p>\n
