Alphabet Inc.’s Google released its Bard chatbot to users in the European Union and Brazil, and said the artificial intelligence tool can now generate responses in more than 40 languages, including Chinese, Hindi and Spanish.

The EU is among the last part of the world to get access to Bard, which launched in about 180 countries earlier this year. The delay was due to uncertainty around the AI service’s compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, the company said.
