Months after Google released its Bard chatbot to the public in many parts of the world, it’s finally brought the service to the world’s second-largest consumer market, the European Union.
Google had previously held back from an EU release because Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), which has jurisdiction over the company’s European activities, had some questions about the A.I. model. That put the kibosh on a June launch, but today Google announced Bard was hitting both Europe and Brazil—which has a strong data-protection law that’s specifically designed to align with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
