At its annual developer conference, Google I/O, held at the company's headquarters in Mountain View, California, announced that Bard, its conversational generative artificial intelligence chatbot, is now available in over 180 countries, including India.

Bard will now allow users to interact with it in Japanese and Korean, according to Sissie Hsiao, Vice President at Google and General Manager of the Google Assistant's business unit. According to Hsiao, it will soon be available in 40 additional languages.

The majority of queue restrictions will be lifted for Bard, Google's response to OpenAI's ChatGPT, and the chatbot will be more publicly accessible in English so that it may continue to learn from a larger group of users.

The Google Bard chatbot was initially only accessible in the US and the UK. Indian users who are interested can now sign up for the AI chatbot's queue on the Google Bard website.

Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, claimed that the company was "rapidly evolving" Bard. It now supports a variety of programming languages, and it is considerably more adept at answering questions involving logic and mathematics. It is currently fully operational on PaLM 2 as well," he added.

The new PaLM 2 large language model (LLM) from Google will power the upgraded Bard chat feature. Developers may now access PaLM 2 via the Google PaLM API, Firebase, and Colab.

"PaLM 2 builds on Google’s recent infrastructure and our basic research. It is simple to implement and extremely effective at a variety of jobs. Today, we're announcing more than 25 products and services that use PaLM 2. Excellent basic capabilities are delivered by PaLM 2 models in a variety of sizes. They have the endearing names Gecko, Otter, Bison, and Unicorn. Gecko is so lightweight that it can function on mobile devices even when they are not connected, according to Pichai.

The PaLM 2 models, he continued, are better at logic and reasoning, have wide training in scientific and mathematical subjects, and are able to comprehend more than 100 different languages. PaLM 2 could benefit developers anywhere, according to Pichai, and it will even include tools that make it easier for employees to communicate with coworkers who speak other languages.
