Google introduces new update on Bard to enhance creativity
Google on Thursday introduced a new update, an advanced Artificial intelligence (AI) model Gemini Pro, to enhance creativity, capabilities, productivity among others.
The Head of Communications, Google, West Africa, Mr Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, in a statement on Thursday said that Google was bringing Bard’s latest capabilities — including Gemini Pro in Bard— to more languages and places.
According to him, they are also introducing image generation to bring more ideas to life.
The reports gathered that Google Bard is a free, experimental AI chatbot that uses natural language processing and machine learning to simulate human conversations.
Bard can generate text, translate languages, and write creative content. It can also respond to user questions and prompts with a human-like understanding.

According to Kola-Ogunlade, Gemini Pro in Bard is available in over 40 languages and more than 230 countries and territories, so more people could collaborate with the fastest and most capable version of Bard.
“ Gemini Pro helps to double-check responses in more languages, brings ideas to life with image generation and one of the most preferred chatbix with or without cost.
“Consistent with our AI Principles, image generation was designed with responsibility in mind.
“For instance, to ensure there’s a clear distinction between visuals created with Bard and original human artwork, Bard uses SynthID to embed digitally identifiable watermarks into the pixels of generated images.
“Our technical guardrails and investments in the safety of training data, seek to limit violent, offensive or sexually explicit content.
“Additionally, we apply filters designed to avoid the generation of images of named people,’’ he said.
Kola-Ogunlade said that Google will continue investing in new techniques to improve the safety and privacy protections of its models.
According to him, these updates make Bard an even more helpful and globally accessible AI collaborator for everything from big, creative projects to smaller, everyday tasks.
“Try it out today at bard.google.com ,” he said.
