Google Testing Audio Overviews for Search Results
- Google announced today that it is introducing a new AI-driven feature in its Search Labs program that provides brief audio summaries for select search results.
- The experiment aims to help users absorb information hands-free, especially when multitasking or preferring audio, using Gemini models to generate summaries.
- Users can tap a 'Generate Audio Overview' button on search results to create a short, conversational audio clip with playback controls and source links.
- Audio Overview generation takes up to 40 seconds and results in a player featuring two AI hosts discussing topics like 'how do noise cancellation headphones work.'
- The feature is currently accessible on both mobile and desktop platforms in the United States, supporting English language users, with potential effects on accessibility and search engagement amid concerns that AI-driven results may reduce traffic to external websites.
