Google launched its AI chatbot Bard despite internal warnings from employees that it was a “pathological liar” prone to spewing out false information that could lead to “serious injury or death.”

Microsoft’s planned integration of ChatGPT into its Bing search engine is widely seen as a threat to Google’s dominant online search business.

Bard testers flagged concerns that the chatbot was spitting out information ranging from inaccurate to potentially dangerous.
