Google's AI-driven search experience, Search Generative Experience (SGE), is now accessible to teenagers between 13-17 in America. Entailments include a conversational mode for searches, which Google believes can help youngsters pose atypical questions to dig deeper.
For the latest advancements in AI, look here first.
Teen-friendly AI search
- SGE introduces a conversational mode to Google Search, allowing users to ask questions and follow-ups in a more natural language.
- To prevent harmful content from surfacing, Google has placed guardrails, providing stronger protections related to illegal and age-gated substances, or bullying.
Features and improving AI accuracy
- Google is rolling out "About this result" to provide users with more context about the displayed content.
- Google acknowledges and addresses any validation of false or offensive claims by the AI-powered response, ensuring to provide higher quality and more accurate responses.
- It’s also using large language models to self-critique and rewrite draft responses on sensitive topics based on quality and safety principles.
SGE's popularity and future plans
- Since SGE's introduction, it has found popularity, especially among younger users who prefer a conversational approach.
- Google plans to expand SGE outside the U.S. to India and Japan and improve its services with support for videos, images, local info, and more.
- It's also experimenting with ads positioned next to the AI-generated responses.
