Summary

  • Google users will now see AI Overviews for a broader range of searches and can access them even when logged out, according to a company announcement on Wednesday.
  • The search giant is also testing an AI search tool called AI Mode, which serves up search-centric chatbot results, similar to those provided by ChatGPT.
  • However, users must be signed up to Google One AI Premium to access it and must enable it in the Labs section of Search.
  • AI Mode results aim to provide more complex, AI-generated answers to search queries and are designed to improve website interaction and onsite behaviour.
  • Google vowed not to overhaul traditional search with the new tool and insisted it complements existing search behaviours rather than replace them.
