Google Launches Generative AI-Powered Search in India and Japan
Alphabet’s Google said on Wednesday it has introduced generative artificial intelligence to its search tool for users in India and Japan, which displays text or visual results for prompts, including summaries.
The feature, which was first released only in the US, rolled out this week in the two countries and users can choose to enable it.
Japanese users can access the feature in their local languages, while it is available in English and Hindi in India.
Google’s search function is used to search for information, such as locating what to buy. It differs from its chatbot Bard, which has a personality that can have human-like conversations to create software code, for example.
Google’s AI search competes with Microsoft’s Bing.
