Google announced, through its office for the Middle East and Africa, that its AI chatbot Bard is now available in around 50 more countries, with competitive features that provide constantly updated information using the famous search engine.

Google said in a press conference with several Arab media outlets that the ''beta version of its tool, which is based on AI, includes new features in the Arab world, starting with the Google user interface (UI), which supports the Arabic language by writing from right to left, understanding questions in more than 16 Arabic dialects, such as Egyptian and Saudi, and language rotation when asking the tool Arabic questions that contain terms of foreign languages.''

The company's employees explained at the conference, which was held Wednesday, that the ''AI tool will enable users to listen to the answers out loud through text-to-speech technology and obtain 3 drafts of the answer in Arabic, using Google search.''
