At the I/O event hosted by Google last week, Google Bard got a major update. The update expands Bard’s language capabilities and it is now available in 180 countries. Due to the update, the chatbot can now deliver succinct summaries of information upon request, helping the user to understand the gist of the topic without delving into detail.
Also, as part of the update, Bard can now provide numbered links within its response which can help identify the source of the response and allow users to easily navigate to it. This feature has been previously seen in Microsoft’s Bing Chat, however, Bard currently does not include sources with all of its responses. Google has indicated that its AI will only improve the more it is used and with user feedback.
Google has been committed to improving AI-based technology and making them accessible worldwide. There are numerous ways in which AI can help everyday tasks become simpler which is why Google is constantly striving to make their AIs as accessible and useful as possible. One of the more prominent beneficiaries of this is Google Bard and its updates help to make it an even more useful tool.
Google is a well-known American multinational technology company founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Through its main product, the world-renown search engine, Google, the company has consistently led the tech innovation forefront. The tech giant is committed to providing users with new ways to access and use information and its AI initiatives, such as Bard, are a testament to that.
On the other hand, Google Bard is an AI-based chatbot which has been trained to understand and simulate human interactions. The goal of Google Bard is to provide users with an interactive experience where they can find information and answers to their queries. It has now been updated to improve its language support and summarisation capability, making it an even better tool for users.
