Google has finally launched its chatbot called Bard in the European Union, supporting over 40 languages. The launch was delayed due to data privacy concerns, but Google has now resolved the issues and is releasing Bard in the EU. Bard is Google’s response to the popular ChatGPT developed by OpenAI, which uses large language models to generate content. Google teased Bard earlier this year in response to the rise of ChatGPT.
Initially, Bard was available only in English in the US and UK, but it expanded to other countries and added support for Japanese and Korean. However, the EU launch was delayed after concerns were raised by a privacy regulator. Google has now satisfied the regulator’s concerns and is launching Bard globally with support for languages such as Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, German, and Hindi. Bard is also now available in Brazil.
With the expansion, Bard has received several new features and updates. Users can now customize Bard’s responses by selecting options such as simple, long, short, professional, or casual to match their preferred tone and style. Bard can also speak in over 40 languages thanks to text-to-speech AI technology. Additionally, Bard can export Python code to the browser-based integrated development environment called Replit, improving its productivity. Users can now analyze photos with prompts, pin, rename, and resume Bard conversations, and easily share links to Bard’s responses.
Google acknowledges that Bard initially faced quality issues with its responses, which led to criticism from Google employees. However, Bard’s math and programming skills have since improved. It can now explain code, structure data in tables, and include images in its responses, thanks to extensions from Google’s apps and services and partnerships with third-party companies like Adobe.
Despite the launch of Bard, Google still faces some criticism. Bloomberg recently reported that Bard’s trainers are often underpaid and overworked, and contractors have limited time to verify the chatbot’s best answers. It remains to be seen how Google addresses these concerns.
Overall, Bard aims to help users explore their curiosity, augment their imagination, and bring their ideas to life. With its wide language support and new features, Bard has the potential to be a valuable tool for users worldwide.
