Google recently integrated advanced generative AI capabilities into its Maps platform, bringing significant enhancements to Bard, its AI language model. A major update includes the expanded use of Gemini Pro, Google’s multimodal AI model, across all languages and regions where Bard is accessible.
Previously, Gemini Pro was limited to the English language for Bard, improving comprehension, reasoning, summarization, and coding capabilities.
Furthermore, Bard now has the ability to generate images, currently available in English and accessible in “most countries around the world.” This feature is powered by Google’s Imagen 2 model, balancing quality and speed to produce high-quality and photorealistic results at no cost to users.

Like other AI image generators, using Bard’s version is simple – users provide a brief description, and Bard generates various visuals to illustrate the idea. To ensure transparency, Bard incorporates SynthID to embed digitally identifiable watermarks within the generated images, clearly indicating their AI-generated nature.
Additionally, users can cross-reference Bard’s responses with Google search results in over 40 languages by clicking on the G icon. This feature enables Bard to analyze web content validating its response, providing users with highlighted phrases and the opportunity to explore further details about corroborating or conflicting information found through Google search.
