Google has begun rolling out a new artificial intelligence-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE) feature which will summarize articles being searched while using the company’s web browser Chrome.
SGE has already been active on Chrome. But the new feature, known as “SGE while browsing,” is designed to take the feature a step further by immediately providing summaries to articles users click on.
Google has described this new feature as a tool to efficiently “navigate information online” and better engage with long-form content from different publishers and creators to make it easier to find certain subjects. (Related: Google is using AI to dig through Gmail accounts to “find exactly what you’re looking for” – and perhaps MORE.)
The feature is currently only available as an “early experiment” that certain Chrome users can opt into. Chrome users who have already opted into using some of the SGE’s earlier features will automatically have access to it.
To access this summarization feature, users scrolling through articles on Chrome will see an option at the bottom of the screen that says “Get AI-generated key points” whenever Google’s AI can generate summaries for the pages they are visiting.
There will also be an “Explore on page” section that shows users certain points brought up by the articles, such as questions users are looking for answers to.
