Google’s AI-powered version of SearchThere’s a major update to the Google app and soon to the Chrome web browser called Search Generative Experience. Google said in a blog post on Tuesday that SGE will be able to summarize web pages and even show definitions for unfamiliar words.
Google’s new “SGE while browsing” can be enabled in the company’s experimental Search Labs section. It uses Google’s AI to generate a bulleted list of key takeaways from information on the page you’re viewing. This feature is available on Android It’s available in the Google app for both iOS and Google, and Google has announced that it’s coming to Chrome in the next few days.[生成]It says it works on some web pages that you visit when you click the button. A list of questions is also displayed. Web pages are responsive and you can jump to parts of the page that contain relevant information.
Recently, some publishers, including The New York Times, Said Google and other services cannot crawl articles and feed them to AI engines.

After releasing his ChatGPT on OpenAI late last year, Google has moved quickly to expand and push AI in its products.in Google I/O Earlier this year, the company announced features like a search generation experience that integrates AI-generated answers into its results.
With so many companies releasing AI-powered tools and products this year, some analysts speculate that generative AI could have even more impact. worth $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy. This technology is expected to reshape everything from how we work to how we get information. As the adoption of generative AI tools explodes, critics are raising concerns about the potential for built-in bias and the potential for these tools to be used to spread disinformation. .
At this time, Google’s SGE is not open to everyone and requires registration. There is no timeline for when this version of AI Search will be generally available.
Other capabilities introduced in SGE include the integration of definitions into AI-generated results. For example, if you search for ‘what is the most common element in the periodic table’, hovering over the word ‘proton’ in the AI-generated results will display a pop-up with a definition.
SGE also provides answers to coding questions and code suggestions for common tasks. Codes are also color-coded to make it easier to identify elements.
