Google Search’s New Perspectives Tab
Google I/O 2023, held last night, was all about how AI will be front and center for the company going forward. Google also announced several new AI-powered features coming to its search engine, including a new Perspectives filter.
During the presentation, the company demonstrated integrated conversational AI directly into the search box. This approach will allow users to quickly understand the topic, open up new points of view and more conveniently study the information, the developers say.
The company gave an example of how the new search could handle a complex query like “Which is best for a family with a child under three and a dog: Bryce Canyon or Arches National Park.”
As a result, generative AI provided a synthesizable overview of requested locations, as well as links to further research.
After that, the search engine will offer the next steps or advise you to refine the request by switching to the dialogue mode. In this case, the system remembers the entire context of the conversation.
The developers have shown the potential of a new search when shopping. The tool can find a product, compare it with other offers, and help the user make a choice.
