Google Has Launched an Updated Search Engine Based on AI: How to Sign In

With the launch of the ChatGPT chatbot, companies have started competing in mastering artificial intelligence by adding AI features to their products. Earlier this year, Google introduced Bard, an AI-powered chatbot similar to ChatGPT. Following that, Microsoft directly integrated ChatGPT into Bing, including the AI image generator based on Dall-E, as did OpenAI.

On Thursday, Google announced that it has begun inviting the first users from the waiting list to try the new Google Search Generative Experience (SGE). “Today, we’re starting to open access to Search Labs, a new program for early access to Google’s experiments,” wrote Google.

At the annual Google I/O developer conference, Katie Edwards, Vice President of Development at Google, stated that with standard Google search, people have to break down complex queries into multiple questions, search for information on websites, and formulate the answers in their heads. With SGE, artificial intelligence can do all that for you.

Unlike regular Google search, which displays a list of links, SGE uses AI to answer your questions directly on the Google search webpage.

Google obtains this information from websites and references the sources used to create the answer. In SGE, you can also ask additional questions to obtain more accurate results.

Who will have access to Google’s new programs?

Currently, SGE is not open to everyone and requires registration in Google Search Labs. Search Labs is currently available only to a limited number of people in the United States and only in English. We hope that this opportunity will become available for Eastern Europe in the near future as well.

It’s worth noting that you can test the novelty in the Google Chrome browser on desktop or in the Google mobile app.

How to join the Google Search Labs waiting list to be among the first who can test Google SGE?

To join the waiting list for Search Labs, follow these steps:

👉 Open the Chrome browser on your computer or the Google app on your mobile device.

👉 Sign in to your Google account.

👉 Open a new tab in the browser.

👉 A Labs icon will appear in the upper right corner if Labs are available to you.

👉 If the Labs icon is present, click on it, then click “Join the waiting list.”

You will receive an email when Labs become available.

So, what does Google’s new search marvel look like?

🔎 In the search field, the query “What is SEO?” was entered.

The artificial intelligence generated a general response, briefly describing the definition of the term “SEO” and providing basic information about the types and forms of SEO.

🔎 The query “Reebok sneakers” AI gave short information about the Reebok company, as well as a list of popular Reebok sneaker models. Furthermore, images of trendy models with prices and links to online stores where they can be purchased were displayed.

🔎 If you decide to purchase a surfboard online, the artificial intelligence of Google’s updated search engine will not only provide information about prices and stores but also offer advice on what specific factors to consider when making an online purchase.

🔎 Don’t know how to solve a Rubik’s Cube? The AI will provide a detailed step-by-step instruction. And if that’s not enough, you can separately review the resources that the AI used to form the answer.

It is important to note that Google warns about the possibility of errors in the responses generated by the AI and that the accuracy may vary. Therefore, they advise against relying on AI for the provision of medical, legal, financial, or other professional services.

Google presents the language model of the new generation PaLM 2 and announces a series of improved products and services

Google presents the new generation language model PaLM 2 and announces a series of improved products and services

It will be a ‘tense year for artificial intelligence’, said Google CEO Sundar Pichai as he unveiled the company’s new language model on stage: PaLM 2. Such language models are trained on vast amounts of data and are capable of answering even complex questions at a high level. Pichai promises that the new model will be able to do this faster, better, and more efficiently.

In addition, PaLM 2 has new capabilities compared to its predecessor. While current models primarily receive data in English, according to Google, PaLM 2 is trained at a high level on more than 100 languages. This way, artificial intelligence can understand the nuances of individual languages, compose poems, solve puzzles, and even recognize and explain idioms.

As the model was specifically trained on mathematical and other scientific material, the program has better logical skills. With PaLM 2, programming skills also reach a new level, promises Pichai.

Google announced 25 new products and programs based on PaLM 2.

An update of chatbot Bard was presented, which is finally gaining speed after a difficult start. Recently, Google Bard has transitioned from the previous model LaMDA to PaLM 2, which has supplemented it with new capabilities.

Google announced that Bard will now be available in 180 countries. Previously, only selected users from the United States and the United Kingdom had access to the program.

Now Bard also understands Japanese and Korean, and soon 40 other languages will be added.

Soon Bard will also be able to process images.

Answers from Bard can now also be exported directly to Gmail or Google Docs.

AI will also be integrated into other Google programs:

Gmail. Using the “Help Me Write” feature, users can request suggestions for wording their emails in Gmail. For example, it was demonstrated how the program can automatically write an email for requesting a refund for airline tickets.

Google Maps has received an updated augmented reality visualization. Now, with the help of Google Maps, users will be able to see in 3D animation how weather and traffic conditions change over time on their route.

Google Search will also benefit more from artificial intelligence and provide more comprehensive answers to queries.

For example, you can ask: “What is the best tourist spot for a family with children under three years old and a dog?” and ask for alternatives. The so-called generative AI not only names travel destinations but also explains their advantages, displays images and additional information, and offers additional questions. The context is carried over from question to question.

🖼 Google Photos will receive “magic features”. Now users will be able to not only remove unwanted objects and people, but also, for example, change their own position or other elements in the image. A new feature for editing images was also presented, which should allow users to use AI to add parts of the image that are not visible in the original photograph.

It’s worth noting that in his presentation, Sundar Pichai repeatedly emphasized the safety of technology. For example, images created using Google’s artificial intelligence will have watermarks and metadata in the future to indicate that the image was created using AI.

The tech giant’s new developments on the stock market were positively received, with the parent company Google Alphabet’s stock rising by approximately five percent.

And we will continue to keep track of the news and keep you up to date on the latest developments

🔹Additionally, the chat now supports third-party resource plugins, allowing it to recommend a restaurant and help you book a table, for example. Convenient, isn’t it?

Microsoft probably hasn’t announced all of its news yet, but it’s possible they will save something for the annual Build developer conference, which is taking place later this month. So stay tuned for more interesting updates soon!
