Typing a question or looking for something on the web with keywords was the practice from before, but Google is introducing a new "Generative AI" for its Search features that will elevate the experience for all. One would think that this is similar to Google Bard, but the company says this is an entirely different way of looking for something online, offering better results to users.

Moreover, the company is yet again putting this newly-unveiled feature on a waitlist for interested users, meaning that it is in beta testing mode at present.

Google I/O 2023: Generative AI in Search Introduced, What Does It Do?

At its highly anticipated I/O 2023 event, Google made a groundbreaking announcement that is set to revolutionize the way we search the internet. The tech giant unveiled its new Generative AI technology, available on its renowned search engine, promising to deliver more creative and engaging results compared to its competitors.

One might think that Google already has the Bard for that, but it is important to note that this feature is not a chatbot, per se, but an AI embedded in Search that will provide better results for all.

It is somewhat similar to Microsoft Bing's conversational search, as Google's Generative AI is available on the search engine, but then again, Bing AI is like a chatbot as well but gives search results in the process.

Google's Generative AI harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to generate search results that go beyond factual information.

While traditional search engines primarily focus on delivering accurate and relevant answers, Google's Generative AI aims to bring a touch of creativity and novelty to the search experience. The technology has been trained on vast amounts of data, allowing it to understand context, infer meaning, and generate insightful responses.

Google's Generative AI Search is on a Waitlist, How to Join?

Google said that this feature is still experimental and under testing, so users would have to join the waitlist to experience its features. To join Google's Generative AI search and use the experience firsthand, users would have to signup to Search Labs, then have it installed on the desktop via Google Chrome, or download the app via the App Store or Google Play.

Google is Going Massive for its AI Developments

Bard the chatbot was one of Google's most significant drops earlier this year, but it did not bode well with its early flaws seen by the public.

Still, the company did not stop there and opted to introduce more of its AI developments to the world, promising new experiences under its Google DeepMind division.

The introduction of Generative AI in Google's search engine marks a significant step forward in the field of artificial intelligence and search technology, from the renowned internet company. With Generative Search, users can expect a more creative and interactive search experience that goes beyond mere information retrieval.

As the waitlist opens, anticipation grows among users who are eager to explore the endless possibilities that Google's Generative AI will unlock. Google's Generative AI Search promises to redefine how we interact with search engines and discover information online.
