It kicks off at 8:30am ET \/ 5:30am PT \/ 1:30pm GMT, or 1:30am ACT on February 9 for those in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s description of the event is certainly bold \u2013 it will apparently be &#8220;reimagining how people search for, explore and interact with information&#8221;. So probably worth a watch then, to put it mildly.<\/p>\n<p>The new features will definitely affect Search and Maps, but Google&#8217;s invite page (above) suggests it could be bringing AI smarts to the likes of Google Lens, too.

Clearly, Search is going to be the big theme, as we start to get more detail on exactly how Google&#8217;s conversational AI is going to be baked into Search.<\/p>\n<p>Any big change to Search would clearly be a huge deal, as Google has barely changed the external UI of the minimalist bar most of us type into without thinking.<\/p>\n<p>But we&#8217;re more likely to see baby steps today \u2013 Google has called Bard an &#8220;experimental&#8221; feature and it&#8217;s only based on a &#8220;lightweight model version&#8221; of LaMDA AI tech (which is short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, if you were wondering).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Like Microsoft&#8217;s new Bing, any integration of Bard in search will likely be presented as an optional extra rather than a replacement for the classic search bar \u2013\u00a0but even that would be huge news for a search engine that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/216573\/worldwide-market-share-of-search-engines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">84% market share<\/a><span> (opens in new tab)<\/span> (for now, at least).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><time datetime=\"2023-02-08T11:22:08+00:00\">2023-02-08T11:22:08.306Z<\/time><\/p>\n<figure data-bordeaux-image-check>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ni85imwv6Ymwf6k3PAfxcK\" name=\"GoogleBardscreen1.jpg\" alt=\"The Google Bard chatbot answering a question on a phone screen\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ni85imwv6Ymwf6k3PAfxcK.jpg\" mos fullscreen width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" attribution endorsement class><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\"><span itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Google)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Good morning and welcome to our Google &#8216;Live from Paris&#8217; liveblog.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s another exciting day in AI-land, as Google prepares to counter-punch Microsoft&#8217;s big announcements for Bing and Edge yesterday.
