Google brings generative AI home
After the hurried and chaotic release of its AI-powered Bard chatbot in February that sent shares tumbling and came without a number of essential features, Google has rolled out generative AI in web searches for India-based users. The Search Generative Experience (SGE) is an opt-in experiment in Search Labs. Indian users can switch between Hindi and English language options, though the Alphabet unit has not yet said whether other languages will be made available. Users can control the search experience via voice commands, and advertisements will also be displayed.
