Google has now made its conversational AI tool, Bard, available to teenagers worldwide who meet the minimum age requirement to manage their own Google accounts. Bard's key purpose is to allow a safe and interactive conversation with the AI in English, with more languages expected to be available in the future.

Bard provides educational support, problem-solving capabilities, and overall engagement. Key features include assisting with complex concepts, enabling in-depth exploration of various topics, providing step-by-step solutions for math equations, and even generating charts for data visualization. The AI tool also comes equipped with safety measures to prevent exposure to inappropriate or unsafe content.

Analyst QuickTake: Google asserts that Bard can be a valuable resource for teens, not just as a learning tool but also as a means to spur creativity and problem-solving skills. This update follows Google's expansion of its GenAI search offering, named the Search Generative Experience, to include teenagers.
