Google Search AI Overviews

Following the US launch in May, Google Search AI Overviews are coming to six more countries, while links will appear in a new “right-hand link display.”

AI Overviews are continuing to show up less and less in Google Search, with a new report finding they’re appearing in less than 10% of search queries.

Google started rolling out AI Overviews in May and, quickly, wild mistakes may be the AI went viral, particularly including an example where Google suggested that users put glue on their pizza. Now, AI Overviews have started using articles about that viral situation to… keep telling people to put glue on pizza.

Google launched AI Overviews in mid-May to all users and, following some viral mistakes, it seems the company has pulled back, as new research shows it may be appearing in merely 15% of search queries.

Google this afternoon published a long response about AI Overviews and their accuracy. The Search feature launched at I/O 2024 in the US and has been criticized for some high-profile mistakes.

AI Overviews have barely been out for a week and things are already going off the rails. And, the painful part of it all is that Google has already shown that it knows how to make AI in Search truly helpful, it’s just not doing that with AI Overviews.

Examples of Google’s AI Overviews going off the rails have quickly gone viral as the update has rolled out to the public, but while the company has had to disable AI on some particularly viral queries, Google reiterates that the “vast majority” of AI results are “high-quality.”

Google launched its AI Overview experience in Search to the general public last week and, already, results are going off the rails. Google, though, says that these are just “isolated examples.”

Google is rolling out AI Overviews to all Search users in the US and you cannot turn it off. However, you can avoid it. Here’s how.

Google last week launched the public rollout of AI Overviews in Search and, already, the inevitable has been announced. Ads are coming to AI Overviews.

As the first big announcement of I/O 2024 this week, Google revealed that AI Overviews – formerly the Search Generative Experience (SGE) – are now rolling out to the general public. But since its initial debut a year ago, AI Overviews in Search don’t seem to be as prevalent as they used to be.

Google today announced that AI Overviews are widely rolling out in Search, but there are also some new features available to those looking to test them out early.

After a year in “Labs,” Google is officially flipping the switch on AI-powered “Overviews” in Search for all users, and the web will never be the same again.

As the Search Generative Experience (SGE) nears its one-year anniversary, Google is reportedly considering making it a paid feature, but is not considering an ad-free offering.

Google first announced its AI-powered makeover for Search, the “Search Generative Experience” (SGE), last year and let users start testing it, but now Google seems to be moving things up as users who didn’t sign up for SGE are being given AI-enhanced results.

Google Search has changed a lot over the past couple of years, and it seems more changes are coming. This week, Google has appointed a new “Head of Search” in Liz Reid, who is teasing more AI changes in the pipeline.

In one of the more interesting and practical AI use cases, the Google SGE (Search Generative Experience) will let you imagine the clothing you want and then shop for real-life matches. 

The Google Search Generative Experience (SGE) is getting a huge international expansion in over 120 new countries and territories and a handful of new generative AI-powered features.

Google is updating its Search Generative Experience (SGE) with an AI image generator, as well as text generation. The idea is to let you get things done right from Google Search.

Google is continuing to expand the Search Generative Experience (SGE) by letting teens in the US sign up for it.

Following the May launch in the US, Google is giving the Search Generative Experience (SGE) an international launch in India and Japan, while the company also shared early user research.
