With AI Mode, Search dynamically adapts the user interface to provide tailored responses, including links to content and businesses relevant to the user's query.

The integration of AI in search aims to improve user engagement by providing more relevant and contextual information.

AI excels at semantic search, allowing it to find relevant information from arbitrary text, which was challenging before.

Current AI systems, particularly LLMs, lack the ability to reason effectively and cannot perform the search mechanisms necessary for solving new problems or generating novel insights.

AI applications that provide context about users' lives and help them make better decisions will become mainstream, enhancing personal productivity and decision-making.
