Want to try Google’s Bard AI chatbot? Starting today, Google is removing Bard’s waiting list — once called “squeaky” by its own employees — and opening it up to more than 180 countries and territories.
The tool will also be available in Japanese and Korean, expanding beyond English. And Google promises it’s on track to support 40 more languages in the future. They note that adding languages ”responsibly involves hard work to achieve things like local quality and nuance”, covering their promise with that caveat just in case it takes a few more languages to become available.
Google Bard is a chatbot powered by Google’s PaLM 2 large language model. On Wednesday, Google announced at I/0 2023 that Bard is adding app integration to maximize its potential for utility and collaboration.
It comes months after a troubled launch of the AI chatbot, which Google employees strongly questioned following its launch.
