This week, when Google release its first demo of their new AI chatbot, Bard, the chatbot made a factual error, which was pointed out by experts.

Google has acknowledged the importance of a rigorous testing process and will be combining external feedback with its own internal testing to ensure that Bard's responses are accurate.
