Google Trials AI Summarizing Webpages On Chrome
After Opera, Google is also testing ideas of infusing AI into web browsers β in this case, the company is testing out using AI to summarize whichever webpage youβre currently viewing. The feature, named βSearch Generative Experience (SGE) while browsingβ, will summarize the whole page into bullet points.
βOur aim is to test how generative AI can help you navigate information online and get to the core of what youβre looking for even faster,β Google wrote in a blog post. The feature is intended to make it easier to find the key content while browsing the web, and in certain cases Google will prompt the user with the option to see AI-generated list of key points, with links that brings the user to relevant sections of the page.
Google notes that such feature are only available for articles βthat are freely available to the public on the webβ, so paid articles will not be subjected to SGE summarization features. The blog explicitly mentions the publishers have control over how the AI will behave by determining if certain articles should be free or paid. The Search Labs experiment is currently available in US going by companyβs documentation, so users elsewhere around the world would just have to wait in the meantime.
As always β Google acknowledges that AI in its current state arenβt perfect, so be sure to double check the sources before believing what the AI says.
