New Delhi: Google, which brought Gemini Pro to its AI chatbot Bard in English last December, has now made it available in over 40 languages, including nine Indian languages, in over 230 countries and territories.
Nine Indian languages are included – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati and Urdu.
“The Large Model Systems Organization, a leading evaluator of language models and chatbots across all languages, recently shared that Bard, along with Gemini Pro, is one of the most preferred chatbots (with or without cost), Given that, it has made a “stunning leap forward,” Google said in a blogpost on Thursday.
The company has also expanded its ‘double-check feature’ in Bard, which is already used by millions of people in English, to more than 40 languages.
“When you click the ‘G’ icon, Bard will evaluate whether content exists on the web to validate its response. If it can be evaluated, you can click on the highlighted phrases. “And can learn more about supporting or refuting the information found by the search,” Google explained.
Additionally, the tech giant now allows users to create images in English in Bard at no cost in most countries around the world.
This new capability is powered by the company’s updated ‘Image2 model’ – designed to balance quality and speed, delivering high-quality, photorealistic output.
Users simply have to type in a description – like “Create an image of a dog riding a surfboard” – and Bard will generate custom, comprehensive visuals to help bring their idea to life.
The tech giant said, “Our technical guardrails and investments in protecting training data strive to limit violent, offensive or sexually explicit content. Additionally, we implement filters designed to avoid the generation of images of named people. We do.”
Google also mentioned continuing to invest in new technologies to improve the security and privacy protections of its models.
