Google will change the name of its AI-powered chatbot, Bard. The change, detected in the code, indicates that AI-powered services will be gathered under a single name.
IT WILL NOW BE 'GEMINI'
US-based tech giant Google has made a notable decision regarding the artificial intelligence technologies it develops. The company has decided to change the name of its generative AI, known until now as "Bard," to "Gemini." Google has begun work to implement this change in line with its strategy to consolidate its AI-focused services under a single name.
The name Gemini is not a new term for Google. The company announced its large AI language model as "Gemini" at an event last year. Renaming Bard to Gemini, as a reflection of Google's efforts to unite its AI services under one umbrella, seems likely to provide more cohesion.
App researchers discovered a few days ago, while examining the code of the Google app, that the term Gemini had begun to be used in place of Bard. Additionally, information regarding the name Gemini was found in the code for the service's web application and website. However, there is currently no information on when the transition process will be completed and when the name Bard will become a thing of the past.
Although Google has not made a detailed statement regarding the name change, it is understood that this decision was made to provide more integrity, moving away from a brand that generally gives specific names to every service. Unlike separate designations such as Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Assistant, Google's strategy of gathering its AI services under a single name aims to offer a more consistent experience for users.
