Google I/O 2023 kicked off on May 10 with CEO Sundar Pichai making several announcements in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Since ChatGPT has emerged, AI has been a hot topic with more and more companies incorporating AI technologies. From fast-food joints like Wendy's to giant technology companies like Microsoft, it seems like everyone is jumping on the AI bandwagon. Microsoft recently introduced OpenAI-powered Bing Search which brought AI capabilities to Bing. To maintain ground with Microsoft, Google at Google I/O 2023, introduced Search that incorporates AI in its responses to help users in their queries, in addition to revolutionary changes to Google Bard

Now that Google has two supercharged AI-powered platforms in its portfolio with Google Bard and Google Search, wondering what is the difference between the two? Know details.

According to Google, despite the proliferation of AI-powered chatbots, Google Search still remains the go-to platform to get answers for seeking and obtaining information. Whether it's looking for a specific product to purchase or conducting research on a topic of interest, Google Search should be used.

On the other hand, Google Bard is based on the company's next-generation language and conversation capabilities powered by their Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). Google Bard can generate a variety of responses, even from the same or similar prompts and questions. If a user would like to see a different response or set of responses, they can ask Bard to generate a new response. Therefore, Google Bard should be used for creative collaborations, such as to generate a code for a program or give captions for photos.
