Google AI Overview In Search – What Is It And How It Works
Google’s AI-powered search version is said to be in an experimental stage so the responses and the layout could have some lapses, which the company is trying to give itself a leeway with this disclaimer. As for the AI Overview in India, people will be able to use it in both English and Hindi.
As you can see here, the search results powered by AI overview show at the top of the screen, and as a footnote, Google adds the credits and glossary for attribution. Some people are concerned that its AI-generated content could supersede the original source of the content and we can see the reasons with this layout. The company also says Generative AI is experimental which is an easy way out of possible mishaps but going by recent examples of Google AI, caution is very much needed.
Coming back to AI Overview, Google says the feature in India will allow easy switching between Hindi and English with the help of a toggle button.
The company has also mentioned that a lot of Indians rely on text-to-speech for voice results, and AI Overview will extend this support in the full version as well.
In addition to this, Google claims you can easily access the website links in AI Overview which helps the company avoid major copyright lawsuits in the future. These features and support for more languages in AI Overview will be rolling out in the coming weeks.
