Google rolls out AI-generated, summarized search results in US

Google will use artificial intelligence to return summarized responses to search engine queries from US users as it continues to infuse generative AI into its most widely used products. The company has been testing "AI overviews" that appear at the tops of search results, summaries created by its Gemini AI model that appear alongside the traditional link-based search results. The featured has also been tested in the UK but will be rolled out across the US beginning on Tuesday, Google announced at its annual I/O developer conference Tuesday in California. Google Search head Liz Reid said AI Overviews would become available to "more than a billion people" by the end of the year. Google also announced a text-to-video artificial intelligence model called Veo, allowing for the creation of computer-generated footage based only on written prompts.
