- Teens who meet the minimum age requirement for managing their own Google account can use Bard starting today.
- The tool will be available in English, with more languages to come in the future.
- The first time a teen asks a fact-based question, the double-check response feature will run automatically.
When Google launched its Bard chatbot, it was restricted to adult Google account users. But that won’t be the case starting today as Google is opening Bard’s doors to teens.
For the first time, teenagers will be able to take advantage of Bard all on their own starting today, Google announced in a blog post. The feature will be open to all teenagers who meet the minimum age requirements for managing a Google account. In most countries, the minimum age for this is 13, but in areas like Aruba, Vietnam, Greece, and more, this can range from 14-16. You can check out which countries are included in these exceptions on Google’s help page.
