Google stressed the importance of thoroughly testing and reviewing code for errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities before double-checking and relying on Bard’s responses.

US-based tech giant Google has introduced new capabilities to its AI chatbot, Bard, to help users with programming and software development tasks, including code generation, code debugging and code explanation. Bard is now available in over 20 programming languages, including C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript.

With Bard, users can export Python code to Google Colab without the need for copy and paste. According to Google, the chatbot can also assist with the writing functions of Google Sheets. In addition to generating code, Bard can annotate code snippets, making it helpful for people who are learning programming for the first time.

If users get an error message or receive code that doesn’t work as they intended, they can ask Bard to fix it by saying “This code doesn’t work, please fix it”. However, Google cautions that Bard is still an early experiment. And sometimes giving false or misleading information while appearing confident.

Google stressed the importance of thoroughly testing and reviewing code for errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities before double-checking and relying on Bard’s responses. Despite its capabilities, Bard may generate code that does not produce the expected output or may provide sub-optimal or incomplete code.

Bard has been helping users with a variety of everyday tasks, such as creating presentations, writing lesson plans, inventing new recipes, and planning workout routines.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently created a unit called “Google DeepMind” to safely and responsibly build more capable AI systems in response to the success of Microsoft-owned OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The new entity will bring together the Brain team from Google Research. and DeepMind, two leading research groups in the field of AI.

In related news, Google is reportedly planning to incorporate generative artificial intelligence into its advertising business in the coming months as big tech companies race to adopt the technology.
