Google Bard Statistics & facts [2024]

Discover all latest statistics and data on Google Bard as per July 2023.

With its introduction, Google Bard has become a major competitor to ChatGPT in the chatbot industry. Google Bard is a conversational AI chatbot designed to understand natural language and interact with humans in a more natural way.

Powered by Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) – an AI program developed by Google’s research and development team, the platform offers unique features like automated topic suggestions, personalized conversations, and rich context understanding.

Chatbots are a type of Artificial Intelligence which can create images, music, poetry, content and other creative works in response to user queries. Bard is an example of a deep learning chatbot – this involves the use of AI that processes organic data from users to improve its answers accordingly.

This blog post will dive deep into Google Bard statistics, including its release timeline, user demographics, and technical details

Here are Amazing Google Bard Statistics (Users, Facts)

• Google Bard, powered by the LaMDA AI language model, was publicly released to users on March 21, 2023 after its official release date of February 6, 2023.

• Till March 2023, Google Bard has received 30 million monthly visits, predominantly from US and UK users.

• LaMDA was trained on the Infiniset dataset, containing 1.56 trillion words and 137 billion parameters. However, the LaMDA paper does state that the dataset includes a variety of sources, including books, articles, websites, and code repositories. This diversity of sources helps LaMDA to learn about a wide range of topics and to generate text that is both informative and engaging.

• Google Bard goes global and spread to more than 180 nations, with anticipated global reach of 1 billion consumers.

• The cost of integrating Google Bard into Google Search is difficult to estimate, as it will depend on a number of factors, including the size and complexity of the integration, the cost of computing resources, and the cost of human labor. It’s estimated that Google would see costs rise by $6 billion by 2024 if just half of searches are performed by the ChatGPT-like Bard are answered with 50 word responses.

• Alphabet chairman John Hennessy said an AI chatbot search costs 10 times more than a regular one, per Reuters.

According to preliminary data, Google’s Bard chatbot attracted 142.6 million visitors in May, up from 49.7 million [187.2%] in April.

Estimated Cost per query

Experts from UBS calculated in March 2023 that for each search query Google opens its AI chatbot Bard, an additional price of $0.003 to $0.028 will be added to its usual search cost of around $0.003 per inquiry. This results in a total cost for each Bard search ranging from $0.006 to $0.031.

The actual cost per Bard search will depend on a number of factors, including the complexity of the query, the size of the Bard model, and the amount of computing power required to generate a response. However, the estimated cost per query suggests that using Bard for search could significantly increase Google’s costs.
