Google Introduces Generative AI Answers in Search Results

Google has introduced AI overviews, previously known as the search generative experience, into their core search engine. These AI summaries will appear at the top of search results, providing users with condensed information on searched topics. The feature aims to evolve into an AI assistant that aids in tasks such as planning trips, finding local services, and generating itineraries. While initially starting with basic summaries, Google's vision includes advanced capabilities like itinerary planning and personalized suggestions, potentially impacting the traditional web traffic flow to external websites.
