However, the upgrade also raises privacy concerns as Google Messages chats with Bard, the AI, are not end-to-end encrypted and Google will store user data to improve its algorithms. The tech giant has not yet announced an official release date for Bard in Google Messages, but it is expected to be available sometime in 2024.
Key takeaways:
- Google is planning to incorporate its Language Learning Model (LLM) directly into the messaging platform of Android smartphones, offering a significant AI upgrade.
- The AI upgrade will connect Messages users with Google, not just with one another, potentially transforming the way users search for information and interact with advertising.
- While the initial features may include AI text composition and image recognition, the ultimate goal is to enable AI chatbot driven search, turning chat into commerce driven search requests.
- However, Google Messages chats with Bard, the AI model, are not secured by end-to-end encryption, and Google will store user data and use it to improve its algorithms.
