Starting tomorrow, Bard will be available for teens to use around the world.
We have made several updates to maximize its helpfulness and understanding of its capabilities.
It has been amazing to see people around the world use Bard to develop their ideas, brainstorm ways to understand a complex topic, and help them find the words to express themselves - excited to bring this to more people.
For even more interactive learning, we’re bringing a math learning experience into Bard.
Anyone, including teens, can simply type or upload a picture of a math equation, and Bard won’t just give the answer — it’ll share step-by-step explanations of how to solve it.
Bard now does data visualization.
With this new capability, Bard can generate charts from tables or data included in a prompt — like if you ask Bard to show in a bar chart how many hours you volunteered across a few months.
Our approach to AI is to be both bold and responsible.
Before launching to teens, we consulted with child safety and development experts to help shape our content policies and an experience that prioritizes safety. And organizations like the Family Online Safety Institute (
@FOSI) advised us on how to keep the needs of teens and families in mind.
Teens also shared feedback with us directly that they have questions about how to use generative AI and what its limitations might be. So we’ve developed a tailored onboarding experience in Bard for teens that includes resources like our AI Literacy Guide and a video with tips on how to use generative AI responsibly.
Thank you to all the experts and teens around the world who helped us develop this approach.
We are announcing this in advance to help equip teens & parents for how to best understand the technology and talk about the best ways to think about using it.
