At the I/O 2023 event, Google announced that Bard was now available to everyone in over 180 countries and territories. In Vietnam, users can try Bard, but currently Google's AI chatbot only supports American English, Korean, and Japanese, and not Vietnamese.

According to AP, Bard will add up to 40 foreign languages. On its Q&A page, Google says it will "teach" Bard as many languages as possible. In addition, Google is ready to experiment with integrating AI into its search engine. This includes Gmail with a "Help Me Write" option, which helps write long email replies in just seconds, and a "Magic Editor" tool for automatically editing photos.
However, the transition will be cautious for Search because this approach reflects Google's reputation for providing reliable results, and everything could be jeopardized if the AI were to "invent" false information.
At the same time, the company created a "barrier" to prevent AI from answering sensitive questions about health and finances. In that case, Google would direct users to the official website.
After Microsoft began integrating AI into Bing, Google faced significant pressure to prove its market leadership. This imminent threat impacted Alphabet's stock before it stabilized. Meanwhile, Samsung considered abandoning Google's search engine on smartphones to follow Microsoft's lead, according to the New York Times.
Google in Silicon Valley has not yet revealed how long it will take for its AI search engine to reach everyone. Users in the US can sign up for a waiting list to try out AI-integrated Search. The results displayed when searching on Search will be marked as experimental.
In addition to showcasing advancements in AI, Google also used I/O 2023 to introduce its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold, priced at $1,799 and equipped with numerous AI features. This device will compete with the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
To date, foldable smartphones are still considered a niche market due to their price tag, ranging from $1,500 to $2,000, which is beyond the reach of most consumers. According to research firm IDC, approximately 14 million foldable smartphones were sold globally last year, representing 1% of total smartphone shipments.
