Google is opening up Bard to teens

Posted by Ola Ric on Nov 19, 2023

Teens can now interact with Google’s AI chatbot, Bard. Teens will now have the same access to Google Bard as adults thanks to this. Adolescents who fulfill the necessary age requirements will have global access to the chatbot, albeit limited to English usage. “Teens in those countries who meet the minimum age requirement to manage their own Google Account will be able to access Bard in English, with more languages to come over time.” Teens, according to Google, can use Google Bard to “find inspiration, discover new hobbies, and solve everyday problems.” They can ask the AI chatbot about important topics, like how to code. Bard will also serve a useful purpose when it comes to learning, as it allows teens to dig deeper into topics of interest. There are so many examples of how the chatbot can be of help to teens. Google is also adding a math learning experience to Bard. This will allow any user, including teens, to type or upload a picture of a math equation. The good thing about this is that Bard will provide a step-by-step guide as to how to solve the math. When it comes to data visualization, Google Bard can also be helpful. By using tables or data included in a prompt, it can produce charts. Teens could ask Bard to make a bar chat that shows, for example, the number of hours they have volunteered over the last few months. They might benefit from this in terms of comprehending visualization. Google has trained its chatbot to recognize inappropriate content for teenagers in order to safeguard young people and how they use Bard. To help prevent harmful content, the company has implemented certain safeguards. Illegal or age-restricted substances are among them; they do not always appear in its answers to questions from teenagers. “We also recognize that many people, including teens, are not always aware of hallucinations in LLMs. So the first time a teen asks a fact-based question, we’ll automatically run our double-check response feature, which helps evaluate whether there’s content across the web to substantiate Bard’s response,” wrote Tulsee Doshi, Google’s product lead for Responsible AI, in a blog post. “Soon, this feature will automatically run when any new Bard user asks their first factual question. And for teens, we’ll actively recommend using double-check to help them develop...

Google expands Search Labs and SGE in English to more regions

Google expands Search Labs and SGE in English to more regions

Google has expanded its Search Labs and SGE in English to more than 120 regions. It means users in more regions and countries can depend on the power of generative search to carry out their search queries on Google Search. Google is also activating four additional languages for all users of SGE, including Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and Indonesian. “Starting today, we’re bringing Search Labs and SGE in English to more than 120 new countries and territories around the world, including Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. As part of this expansion, we’re also enabling four new languages for everyone using SGE: Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and Indonesian. So if, for example, you’re a Spanish speaker in the U.S., you can now use generative AI in Search with your preferred language.” Given that the global holiday season is about to begin, this expansion is significant. The holiday season is probably one of the busiest when it comes to using a search engine, and Google could not have chosen a better time. More and more people are turning to chatbots for answers to their chat queries, and Search Labs from Google seems to be the answer for many. Google is also experimenting with some new SGE search options, which include follow-up questions to help refine search. “Now, we’re experimenting with a new way for you to ask follow-up questions directly from the search results page. As you continue to explore a topic, you can easily see your prior questions and search results, including Search ads in dedicated ad slots throughout the page.” Additionally, the company is expanding SGE’s translation-related prompts; therefore, by posing clarifying queries, you can increase the accuracy of translation-related queries. In the upcoming months, it is anticipated that Google will enhance and polish its traditional AI components. It is no secret that generative AI search technology is constantly developing. Sometimes in July, The New York Times first reported that Google was working on a generative AI feature to be added to Search. The news that “Samsung was considering replacing Google with Microsoft’s Bing as the default search engine on its devices” may have added credence to Google’s urgency. This would imply that Bing would become the default search provider for Android and tablets. Share...
