Google Working On PaLM 2
The language model that underpins Google’s Bard is PaLM 2. As per the report, the tech goliath accepts that its superior model will be particularly helpful in places with “more restricted admittance to specialists”.
Because it was trained on a carefully selected collection of medical expert demonstrations, Google believes that Med-PaLM 2 will be better at healthcare conversations than generalized chatbots such as Bard, Bing, and ChatGPT.
Med-PaLM 2 Would Control Your Data!
In addition, the report stated that customers testing Med-PaLM 2 would control their encrypted data and would not allow Google access to it.
Greg Corrado, Google’s senior director of research, claims that Med-PaLM 2 is still in its infancy.Med-PaLM 2 “takes the places in healthcare where AI can be beneficial and expands them by 10-fold”.
Google Updated Its Privacy Policy For Accessing Data
In the meantime, Google has updated its privacy policy to say that it can use publicly accessible data to train its AI models.
Over the weekend, the tech giant amended its policy to substitute “language models” for “AI models.”
