Artificial intelligence makes its entry into Google results with AI Overviews, the new search method based on generative AI.
Google’s keynote introduced multiple innovations in the field ofartificial intelligence.
In line with its established reputation, the company has invested in several innovations aimed at leveraging technology to support research activitywhich can involve both answering specific questions and assisting with planning and inspiration.
At the heart of this transformation lies “AI Overviews“, the next generation of Google’s search engine that displays AI-generated answers at the top of results for most queries.
This tool is capable of creating completely customized results pages, adapted to the context and needs of the user who makes them.
Introduced last year, this new feature is now accessible to hundreds of millions of users in the United States and will soon be available in other countries, reaching an audience of more than one billion people.
Gemini will take care of it
The video provided by the company illustrates how Gemini logo will start appearing at the top, below the text entry bar, providing generated responses based on your queries.
For some search categories, such as restaurants, recipes, movies, music and books, Google will present a new page organized by AI.
But not only that: Google also aims to become an assistant for planning the day’s meals and travel.
By subscribing to Search Labsusers will be able to create personalized meal plans or find ideas for their itineraries, adapting the suggestions generated by artificial intelligence to their needs.
Users who subscribe will have access to even more advanced features, such as the ability to simplify language in the AI Overview, explore complex topics or ask more detailed questions in a single search, receiving comprehensive answers on a single page.
Finally, Google is developing a feature that will allow you to use a video as a query of search, thus opening up new possibilities for online research.
If you really don’t want…
Google also understands that not everyone always wants to turn their internet searches over to AI.
In this regard, he announced a new filter which will allow users to view traditional search results.
The filter, called “Web“, is similar to others such as images, videos, purchases, news, positioned at the top of the results page and allows access to the classic search page.
Google explains that this option was added after gathering feedback from users who prefer to only see links to web pages in some situations.
Google’s ultimate goal is to make Search able to anticipate user needs and do all the work without the need for interaction. Those who prefer to stay out of this change will be able to use the “Web” filter, available globally in the coming days.
Also presented at Google I/O were Veo and Imagen 3, which compete with Sora and Stable Diffusion, demonstrating Google’s commitment to exploring the vast field of AI in all its facets.
