More than $120bn was wiped off Googles market value after its new AI search assistant gave a wrong answer that was featured in promotional material. Parent company Alphabets share price dropped 8pc after the Google Bard tools launch got off to a rocky start following its misleading response to a question about a NASA telescope. At its lowest point on Wednesday Alphabet was trading at $98.08 (81.16), a fall of 8.1pc on the previous days price of $106.77 (88.35). It marked the biggest one-day fall in Alphabets value since October 2022, when the company shed 9pc of its value in one day after unveiling a big slowdown in sales, profits and growth. Bard, its AI search assistant, is used by Google to generate text summaries of search results. Yet in an animated image of Google Bard in action distributed by the company to mark the new features launch, it gives a wrong answer.

The falsehood will raise further questions about the accuracy of search engines and of AI-generated answers to humans questions. In an animated GIF showing how Bard works, a user types in the search query what new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope can I tell my 9 year old about? The NASA telescope was made operational in December 2021 and has been used by scientists to make several discoveries of new planets outside the Solar System. One of the responses generated by Bard says: JWST took the very first pictures of a planet outside of our own solar system. This is not accurate. The first picture ever taken of a planet outside the solar system an exoplanet was captured in 2004 by the Very Large Telescope array in Chile.

RIP Google. Microsoft and ChatGPT won.

Of course AI is going to get things wrong. That kind of comes with the whole intelligence part of artificial intelligence.

Well, I can venture a guess as to whom Chile contracted to build the Very Large Telescope:
