what is Google's new AI search and why should you care well as you may know
means for the future of search technology you definitely don't want to pass up on this so let's get started so
what is Google's new AI search and why should you care well as you may know
Google is the Undisputed leader in search engine technology it handles
billions of queries every day and provides us with relevant results in a
fraction of a second however Google isn't content with just being the best
with the increasing popularity of AI chat Bots people have
started seeking
answers from them instead of using Google in order to benefit from this
trend Google decided to incorporate AI into its search
engine even though
Google Google has been using AI for years to improve its
search algorithms
now they are taking it to the next level with generative AI
which basically is a
type of AI that can create new content or data from scratch
based on existing
data or inputs so Google is using generative AI to enhance its search
experience and provide us with more interactive engaging and
creative
results and they call this search generative experience or
sge for short
as you may seen Google announced sge at its annual developer
conference Google I
O in May 2023 it was one of the highlights of the event and
generated a
lot of hype among Ai and Tech enthusiasts and experts Google
said that
sge is the result of years of research and development in
generative Ai and
that it will revolutionize the way we use search so what is
sge exactly and
how does it work well sge is a collection of AI driven
features that
aim to make search more conversational contextual and
creative one of the main
features of SG ee is that it makes search more
conversational this means
that you can use natural language to chat with Google and
get answers to your
queries you don't have to type keywords or phrases anymore
for example if you
want to find out how to make pizza at home you can just say
hey Google how do
I make pizza and Google will respond with a summary of the
steps and
ingredients from a relevant website you can then ask
follow-up questions like
what kind of cheese should I use or how long should I bake
it Etc this
conversational feature makes search more intuitive and natural
you don't have to
think about how to phrase your query or what keywords to use
you can just ask
whatever comes to your mind another feature of sge is that
it makes search
more contextual which means that Google can understand the
context of your query
and provide you with more relevant and personalized results
based on your
location preferences history and other factors for example
if you ask what's
the weather like today Google will show you the weather
forecast for your
current location based on your devices PS data if you ask
where can I buy
flowers Google will show you nearby florists based on your
location and
availability if you ask what should I watch tonight Google
will show you
recommendations based on your watch history and interests so
basically you
don't have to specify details or parameters anymore and then
the most
exciting feature of sge is that it makes search more
creative this means that
Google can use generative AI to create new content or data for
you based on
your query or input like if you ask show me some cool
sneakers Google will show
you images of sneakers that don't exist yet but are
generated by AI based on
your style preferences and current trends if you ask write
me a poem about
love Google will write a poem for you using AI based on your
mood and tone
preferences so you don't have to settle for existing content
or data anymore now
you're probably wondering how you can access it right now
well there are two
ways to do that through search Labs or through performance
Max search Labs is a
new program program where you can try out new features
before they're
available to everyone you can join by signing into
google.com labs and find
experiments like chat mode or image generation and you can
enable or disable
experiments and use them by adding a hashtag to your search
query search Labs
is invite only for now but they should expand it soon and
the second way
performance Max which is a campaign type in Google ads for
advertisers it helps
them Reach customers across Google's platforms using AI
advertisers create a
campaign provide information and assets and use sge to
generate custom assets
performance Max optimizes ads and shows them to relevant
customers alright now
this space is getting really competitive with lots of
players involved one of the
top competitors is vectara a startup that claims to offer a
better generative
AI conversational search platform than Google Vectra says
that its platform is
different from Google's because it uses hybrid search which
combines semantic
search based on llms and Boolean exact match based on
keywords to find the most
relevant results from millions of documents it also uses
grounded
generation which means that its generative system only
relies on facts
and data provided by the developers and does not train
models on users data or
make up things that are not true Vectra also says that its
platform is language
agnostic platform that supports queries and data in any language
and offers
cross-language search results it prioritizes user privacy by
not storing
or sharing personal data founded in 2022 by former Google
Engineers vectara has
raised 25 million dollars in funding and partnered with
companies like Shopify
slack and Spotify for example Goldman Sachs analyst Heather
Bellini said that
vectara is a disrupter in the AI search space and that it
could capture a
significant portion of the market by offering a better user
experience and
more accurate results of course Google and vectara are not
the only players in
the AI search space there are many other tech companies that
are also integrating
generative AI into their search experiences and competing
for a share of
this market and one of them is Microsoft which has been
using AI to improve its
Bing search engine for years Microsoft has recently
announced several new
features for Bing that use generative AI such as Bing
answers which provides
direct answers to queries Bing image generator which creates
images based on
text descriptions Bing content creator which writes content
such as summaries
or captions based on keywords Etc another one is
elasticsearch which
is a popular open source search engine that powers many
websites and
applications elasticsearch has recently launched
elasticsearch generative search
EGS which is a new service that lets developers use
generative AI models from
Google and others to quickly build changer for Google and
that it could add
100 billion dollars to its Revenue by 2025. as for Microsoft
and elasticsearch
their stock prices have also seen some positive movements
since they announced
their new features for generative AI search however their
gains have been
more modest compared to Google and vectara as they face more
competition
and challenges in this space search engines have evolved
over time going
through three major phases information retrieval engines
answer engines and now
action engines information retrieval engines were the early
search engines
that appeared in the 1990s and early 2000s like Alta Vista
and Yahoo they
provided users with a list of links based on keywords and
links however they
had limitations as they relied on users typing specific
keywords and often
returned irrelevant results answer engines like Google and
Bing emerged in
the late 2000s and early 2010s they used AI techniques to
provide direct answers
to users queries without requiring them to visit external
websites despite their
usefulness they still had limitations such as not
understanding emotions or
preferences behind queries and sometimes providing biased
results now we have
action engines powered by Advanced AI techniques these
engines like chat GPT
and Dally can generate new content based on user queries
using conversational
interfaces they offer personalized results tailored to users
style
preferences and current trends however action engines face
challenges regarding
trust in AI generated content and
finding a balance between creativity and
realism so the change is happening
Google's stepping up its game with AI
and it's going to change how we search
for things pretty cool right but what do
you think how will this change how you
use the internet don't forget this is a
journey we're all on together click
subscribe and give this video a thumbs
up to stay in the loop thanks for
watching and catch you in the next one
