Two Google employees tried to stop the company from launching Bard, citing concerns about inaccurate and dangerous responses, report says
The pair were concerned the chatbot generated dangerous or false statements, per the report.
In March, the two reviewers working under Jen Gennai, the director of Google's Responsible Innovation group, recommended blocking Bard's release in a risk evaluation, two people familiar with the process told the publication. The employees felt that despite safeguards, the chatbot was not ready, it added.
However, The New York Times reported that the people it spoke to told them Gennai altered the document to remove the recommendation and downplay the risks of the chatbot. Gennai told Insider she had"added to the list of potential risks from the reviewers and escalated the resulting analysis" to a committee of senior product, research, and business leads which determined it was appropriate to move forward for a limited experimental launch. She told The Times reviewers were not supposed to weigh in on whether to proceed.
A representative for Google told Insider:"We're pleased with the early reception of our experiment with Bard, even as we keep improving it, with commentators and users widely recognizing that it's been released conservatively, with significant caution and limits."
