Google is fact checking it’s AI
Now with the click of a button I am now able to fact check the information that I am receiving. Google Bard has the ability to fact-check itself using a variety of methods. One method is to compare its responses to Google Search results. When you tap the “G” icon in Bard, it will cross-reference its response against Google Search results to determine if there is web content that supports the provided answer. If the statement is confirmed, you can click on the highlighted phrases to access additional information through Google Search.
Another method that Bard uses to fact-check itself is to rely on its knowledge of the world. Bard is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which gives it a broad understanding of the world. This allows Bard to identify and flag potential inaccuracies in its responses.
Bard also uses a variety of other methods to fact-check itself, such as:
- Checking for consistency with its own prior responses
- Checking for consistency with the context of the conversation
- Checking for consistency with known facts
It is important to note that Bard is still under development, and its fact-checking ability is not perfect. However, Bard’s fact-checking ability is constantly being improved, and it is already one of the most accurate fact-checking AI models in the world.
