A few days ago, Google kicked off its annual developer event, called Google I/O 2023, with a two-hour presentation primarily focused on the evolution of artificial intelligence,. We recall that he also presented his own first foldable device. Google has announced expanding the availability of Google Bard, but at the moment people in the European Union still don't have access to this technology.
Will Google Bard arrive in Europe and Italy? Surely yes, indeed it is definitive. However there may be problems like with ChatGPT
Since the beginning of the development of the Google Bard, Google has limited testing to users in the United States, by invitation only and with a waiting list to join. During the event, Google communicated that will be launched in 180 new countries with English support and will be done away with the waitlist entirely. Languages such as Japanese and Korean are also supported, and other languages are under development. However, after Google released the full list of these 180 countries, it emerged that no European Union country is included, as reported da 9to5Google.
Google hasn't provided a clear explanation, but it appears that data privacy laws, such as the GDPR regulation enforced in the EU, may be the main reason for this exclusion. To many, it will sound familiar what happened with ChatGPT. Google is often found in conflict with local laws in the EU due to its company policies. When the company recently said it wants to ensure Google Bard complies with regulations in Europe before expanding access, it may have been referencing the challenges of bringing this technology to the EU.
That said, if you're in the United States or one of the 180 countries where Google Bard is available, we recommend giving this virtual assistant a try. Even if you are in the EU, you can fake your location using a VPN to access this technology.
