DeepMind says it will release an improved ChatGPT rival in 2023


Google subsidiary DeepMind promises to launch an optimized conversational AI called Sparrow to compete with ChatGPT later this year

THE DeepMindcompany of the Alphabet group (owner of Google) intends to launch a competitor to ChatGPT in the near future. The promise is that the chatbot will be more secure than rival AI and still offer some kind of assistant service built into services.



DeepMind says it will release an improved ChatGPT rival in 2023

Company CEO Demis Hassabis told Time magazine that he works on an intelligence system called Sparrow. The project is advanced and could be released privately to a select few testers as early as 2023.

The idea is to transform it into a useful “dialogue agenda” that reduces the “risk of unsafe and inappropriate responses”. It is not yet clear how this will work, especially in the fight against inaccurate or untruthful information, which chat AIs seem destined to face in the coming years, but the keyword seems to be moderation.

Hassabis says the project was deliberately delayed so that the DeepMind team could ensure important features that ChatGPT lacks. One of these is the caution regarding the sources from which technology draws to provide answers to user questions.

AI utility, but with less features

By all indications, Sparrow should be more limited and conservative than his rival. This may mean that your ability will be limited, without creating programming code or marketing strategies, but also without making discriminatory comments or building malicious apps, which are already being used by scammers.



The Sparrow will give answers, but it will be more

Several behavior restriction rules have been constructed as if it were a code of conduct for AIs. The CEO says the AI ​​should refuse to answer questions in the context of humanities issues. In initial tests, the technology would give plausible answers, backing them up with evidence 78% of the time the doubt was factual.

Practical application of Sparrow

In October of last year, Google has announced KataOS, an operating system for smart devices. At the time the project was called by the developers Sparrow, which indicates that it is an AI spinoff already under construction. The software is designed to support devices integrated into environments that run machine learning much more securely than app-based models.

The OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT and DALL-E, is funded in part by Microsoft, which has committed capital to encourage the development of Innovative solutions for Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. Maybe that explains why Google wants to bet on the technology, after all, you can’t let a strong competitor navigate uncharted waters alone.

DeepMind is considered a pioneer in the segment, having caught the attention of Big Tech. Google made the acquisition about nine years ago, betting heavily on creating technologies that can revolutionize its products, as well as generate revenue from the sale of AI to other companies.

It will be possible to understand what it is, in fact, only when it is officially presented by Google. It will be interesting to compare the two technologies to see which one does better in every respect. Who will win: ChatGPT or Sparrow?
