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

According to AP, Bard will add up to 40 foreign languages. On the Q&A page, Google said it will “teach” Bard as many languages as possible. In addition, Google is ready to test integrating AI into the search engine. This includes Gmail with the “Help Me Write” option, which supports writing long email replies in just a few seconds, and the “Magic Editor” tool that automatically edits photos.
However, the transition will be cautious for Search because this approach reflects Google's reputation for providing trustworthy results, which could be undermined if AI "composes" false information on its own.
At the same time, the company created “guardrails” to prevent AI from answering sensitive health and financial questions, in which case Google will redirect users to the official website.
After Microsoft started integrating AI into Bing, Google was under great pressure to prove its market leadership. The threat caused Alphabet's stock to take a hit before stabilizing. Meanwhile, Samsung considered dropping Google's search engine on smartphones to follow Microsoft, according to the New York Times.
Silicon Valley-based Google hasn’t revealed how long it will take to make its AI search tool available to everyone. Users in the US can sign up for a waitlist to try out the AI-powered Search. Search results will be marked experimental.
In addition to showing off its AI advancements, Google also used I/O 2023 to introduce its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold, priced at $1,799 and equipped with many AI features. This device will compete with the Samsung Galaxy Fold line.
Until now, foldable smartphones have been considered a niche market because of their price, which is beyond the reach of users, from $1,500 to $2,000. According to research firm IDC, last year, about 14 million foldable smartphones were sold globally, accounting for 1% of total smartphone shipments.
