Google will expand generative AI tool to select websites

Google said users can "tap” to pull up an AI-generated list of key points covered by an article as well as accessing a feature to "explore on page,” which provides a summary of questions answered by the report and links to relevant sections. — AP

Alphabet Inc’s Google will let users experiment with new features that display content created by artificial intelligence while they browse the web, as the company strives to maintain its edge in a market with new competitive threats.

Earlier this year, Google released “search generative experience,” or SGE, in which users can try an experimental version of its search engine that displays AI-generated responses above the customary list of results. The company said Tuesday the product would expand to let readers use the AI tool on websites beyond Google’s search engine to summarise longer articles and in-depth information.
