Google is launching an Artificial Intelligence powered chatbot called Bard to rival ChatGPT.
Bard will be used by a group of testers before being rolled out to the public in the coming weeks, the firm said.
ChatGPT can answer questions and carry out requests in text form, based on information from the internet as it was in 2021.
But the ultimate aim of chatbots lies in internet search, experts believe - replacing pages of web links with one definitive answer.
