The service is currently available in 180 countries. Google announced several updates to its Bard AI service at its annual I\/O developer conference.\u00a0These upgrades are rolling out across a wide range of Google products and services, including Search, Workspace, Photos, and Android.\u00a0 The company also announced that Bard will be available in 180 countries, giving users around the world access to Google\u2019s generative AI. However, European Union (EU) countries and Canada are conspicuously absent from the list of countries where Bard is available. So what\u2019s holding it back? Speculation suggests that it may be due to the EU&#8217;s strong privacy laws, as well as concerns about the potential for AI to be used for harmful purposes. The EU has some of the strictest privacy laws in the world Image: GDPR The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives individuals extensive control over their personal data and requires companies to obtain explicit consent before collecting or using such data.\u00a0 This could make it more difficult for Google to collect and use the data necessary to power Bard in&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/google-bards-availability-skips-eu-countries-and-canada\/\">Google Bard\u2019s availability skips EU countries and Canada<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.stk-7f5e8c7{background-color:#ebebeb !important;background-position:bottom right !important;background-repeat:no-repeat !important;background-size:10% !important;box-shadow:0px 5px 5px 0px rgba(76,31,83,0.3) !important;padding-top:5px !important;padding-bottom:5px !important;margin-top:0px !important;margin-bottom:32px !important}.stk-7f5e8c7:before{background-color:#ebebeb !important}.stk-7f5e8c7 .stk-block-icon{flex-basis:57px !important} .stk-2d6548b .stk&#8211;svg-wrapper .stk&#8211;inner-svg svg:last-child{opacity:0.7 !important}.stk-2d6548b .stk&#8211;svg-wrapper .stk&#8211;inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-2d6548b .stk&#8211;svg-wrapper .stk&#8211;inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:url(#linear-gradient-2d6548b)&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[29,2549,2548,300,2551,2552,57,2550,12,295],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3604"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3604\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godefy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
