Google has thrown open its experimental artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for public testing. Earlier this year, the company launched the AI Test Kitchen, an Android app that allows users to chat with one of the most advanced AI chatbots, LaMDA 2 (Language Model for Dialogue Apps).
Users will now be able to get to know and comment on Google’s new technologies. Announcing the same on Twitter, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company is gradually expanding access to small groups of users in the United States.
“We’ve added several layers of protection to the AI Test Kitchen. This work has minimized risk, but not eliminated it. In addition to these security filters, we’ve made improvements to LaMDA around quality, security and grounding – each of which is carefully measured,” Google says.

Registration is open for early access, where AI Test Kitchen offers rotating demonstrations centered around cutting-edge AI technology. It says they’re not finished products, but they’re meant to give insights into the innovations of big technologies as they give them a chance to explore their use.
Google previously warned that an early preview of the LaMDA model “may display inaccurate or inappropriate content.”
In addition to Google, Meta also introduced its AI conversational chatbot, soliciting feedback from the public. Meta’s chatbot recently called BlenderBot 3 because of the scandal when it said Mark Zuckerberg was “creepy and manipulative” and “Donald Trump will always be president of the United States.”
