Google has announced that rolling out generative artificial intelligence (AI) to its core search engine. The announcement follows Microsoft’s announcement earlier this year that GPT-4 will be incorporated into its Bing search engine.
Search Generative Experience – which will be part of Google – will craft responses to open-ended queries, the company said. However, the system will only be available to a small number of users whilst it is in an experimental phase.
“We are reimagining all of our core products, including search,” said Sundar Pichai, the boss of Google’s parent company Alphabet.#
