Google has introduced a significant AI update to its search engine, allowing users in the U.S. to engage with it conversationally. This AI mode is part of a continuous transformation that has seen AI overviews being prioritized over traditional web link rankings. With 1.5 billion users engaging with these AI features, Google anticipates increased search activity, even though initial findings suggest the opposite. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized the monumental shift as long-term AI research finally manifests into practical applications for global users.
"What all this progress means is that we are in a new phase of the AI platform shift, where decades of research are now becoming reality for people all over the world."
"AI mode is being offered to all comers in the U.S. just two-and-half-months after the company began testing with a limited Labs division audience."
