Google has announced several new ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve its search features.
Artificial intelligence has played an important role in Google’s search technology since its early days, improving the company’s language understanding capabilities.
With more investment in artificial intelligence, Google has expanded its understanding of information to include images, videos, and even understanding of the real world.
Here’s how Google uses this information to improve your search experience.
Search your screen with Google Lens
One of the new ways Google uses AI is through its Lens feature.
Google Lens is becoming increasingly popular, with more than 10 billion monthly searches.
With the new update, users can use Lens to search for information right from their mobile screens.
This technology will be available globally on Android devices in the coming months.
multi search
Another new feature, called Multiple Search, allows users to search by image and text simultaneously.
This feature is available globally on mobile devices in all languages and countries where Lens is available.
Now, Google allows people to use multiple search on any image they see in mobile search results.
For example, if a user is searching for “modern living room ideas” and sees a coffee table that they like but with the wrong shape, they can use the multiple search to add text like “rectangle” to find what they’re looking for.
Google has also added the ability to search locally, allowing users to find what they need in their vicinity.
This feature is currently only available in English in the US and will expand globally soon.
Google is constantly working to make search experiences more natural and visual. With the AI race heating up, we can probably expect more from the search giant in the coming months.
