Google’s AI Overview is expanding with a new “AI Mode” feature

Your Google search is about to get a lot smarter, thanks to a new experimental feature that Google is calling “AI Mode”. AI Mode is an extension of its AI Overview feature, which provides users with additional context and information on their search.

Before AI Overview, Google relied on information cards that extracted relevant information from other websites. For instance, if you searched for a recipe, Google would display the recipe’s information in these cards. It would save users time from having to comb through multiple websites.

AI Overview supercharged that feature, by giving users more detailed answers in a natural voice. So instead of abstract bits of text, AI Overview can analyze the information and present it in a way that’s easier to understand. AI Mode takes the feature one step further. Google says that AI Mode will make search results better as it will provide more complex answers that require advanced thinking and reasoning skills.

According to Google, users can “ask nuanced questions that might have previously taken multiple searches.” AI Mode is currently still in testing, so its answers won’t be ideal. “As with any early-stage AI product, we won’t always get it right. For example, while we aim for AI responses in Search to present information objectively based on what’s available on the web, it’s possible that some responses may unintentionally appear to take on a persona or reflect a particular opinion.”

However, customers subscribed to Google One AI Premium can take it for a spin if they’re curious.
