Gemini showcased in various locations
Earlier this year, the capability to converse with Gemini directly within Google Messages on chosen Android devices was launched. Today, we are progressively introducing Gemini in Google Messages to the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland, with the option to chat in newly included languages like French, Polish, and Spanish. Just click the “Initiate chat” button in Messages and opt for Gemini to commence brainstorming ideas, organizing trips, and more — all effortlessly within the Google Messages app.
Furthermore, the Gemini mobile application is expanding to additional countries so that more individuals globally can access Gemini on the move.
Extended reach for Gemini among adolescents
Over the forthcoming week, we will broaden Gemini access to teenagers worldwide, spanning over 40 languages. Adolescents who meet the minimum age prerequisite to manage their individual Google Account will be empowered to use Gemini to delve into school subjects, gear up for university, or seek assistance with artistic endeavors.
Our aim is to provide teens with the opportunity to leverage all the advantages that generative AI offers, preparing them for a future where AI will have an even more crucial role — all while emphasizing safety and addressing their developmental requirements. To help them navigate Gemini confidently and securely, we have introduced additional policies and protective measures, initiated a customized onboarding process for teens, and included an AI literacy handbook to guide teens in utilizing AI responsibly. We have also collaborated with experts in child safety and development, such as MediaSmarts (CA), Miudos Seguros na Net (PT), and Fad Juventud (ES), who continuously offer insights on addressing the distinctive needs of teens and families.
Our principled approach to designing Gemini
The progression of Gemini has consistently been steered by a dedication to accountability and user well-being. As it continues to advance, we are providing more insights into how Gemini is devised and the manner in which it is meant to function. You can now explore our strategy for Gemini, along with additional facts about our policy directives to gain a better understanding of our navigation through intricate and sensitive subjects, which encompass responses to matters linked to issues of public concern, and political, religious, or ethical convictions. Rooted in our AI Principles, these directives mirror our persistent commitment to developing this technology responsibly and with transparency.
