PARIS: Google launched its AI chatbot Bard in the European Union, Brazil and a dozen other countries on July 13 and unveiled new features as it expands access to its answer to Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.

The US tech giant unveiled Bard in February but delayed its release in the European Union as the bloc plans to regulate artificial intelligence amid concerns about risks associated with the rapidly growing technology.
