Alphabet’s Google said it is opening access to its experimental generative AI tool ‘Bard’. This was earlier announced by the company after the success of OpenAI’s AI chatbot ChatGPT. Bard is touted by Google as a tool that brings helpful AI experiences to people, businesses and communities. In a latest blog, the Google AI tool shows an example interaction on ways to read 20 books an year.

The Tezos blockchain team announced that Alphabet’s Google Cloud is now an official Tezos validator. This will essentially give Cloud customers access to the blockchain technology. This news sparked huge rise in interest in Tezos (XTZ) token. Hence, traders would be hoping for more bullish sentiment from the Google news for XTZ, a top 50 ranked coin by market cap.

Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google, Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) and Twitter face stricter EU online content rules according to monthly user numbers published by the companies on Thursday which exceeded the EU threshold.

The momentum for the resurgence in AI popularity may be dwindling after Google’s recently launched advertising campaign for its own AI chatbot, Bard, demonstrated multiple factual inaccuracies in the bot’s responses. 

Several crypto tokens in the AI domain began to dominate the crypto market in the last few days, after ChatGPT broke into the scene. It is already being speculated that the AI tokens would continue to gain traction in the coming months, as the competition between Google and OpenAI intensifies. Unlike other technological breakthroughs, artificial intelligence based innovations take way less time to improve. In this context, traders are weighing in the potential synergy between cryptocurrencies and AI technology.

In order to compete with artificial intelligence ChatGPT, Microsoft has introduced a “new” version of the Bing search engine and the Edge web browser. The news comes a day after Google unveiled Bard, its own “experimental conversational AI service” that uses Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). It marked the beginning of an AI battle between two tech titans. Microsoft refers to the updated Bing and Edge as the user’s web-based artificial intelligence copilot. However, they are rumoured to provide improved search, more detailed responses, and the ability to produce content. (coingape)
