Google’s Bard chatbot integrates Ukrainian language

on May 10, Google held the Google I/O event. The tech giant presented branded gadgets and demonstrated new AI developments. It was reported by Techcrunch media.

At the presentation, Google showed updated capabilities of its proprietary search engine with integrated Bard chatbot. Currently, the AI is available only in English, but soon it will be able to «communicate» in Ukrainian. Google said that the algorithm will master 40 languages in total.

«Google continues to introduce new functionality to its services. We want as many people as possible to be able to use the Bard chatbot. So, today we are removing the waiting list and opening Bard to more than 180 countries — and soon there will be even more,» said Google Vice President Cissy Xiao.

It should be added that Google is also integrating the chatbot into the search results — the text generated by the neural network will be displayed above the main results in the search engine. Information offered by AI will be accompanied by links to sources. Google also plans to integrate Adobe’s Firefly AI image generator into Bard.

The use of AI technologies has also affected Google Photos: by the end of 2023, a new generative neural network called Magic Editor will appear there. It will be able to edit specific parts of photos, fill in empty spaces, or even change the position of an object for a better shot.

The company also demonstrated a new generation of 3D maps from Google Maps. The developers assure that they will allow to see weather and even traffic in real time.

Finally, Google presented a set of Duet AI tools for Google Workspace. The main concept is to automate the workflow even more.

We would like to remind you that Gmail will soon have blue checkmarks for account verification. The feature is free for all users.
