Google's AI Mode Will Change How You Search. What to Expect
- Google announced the rollout of AI Mode in Search across the U.S. At the May 20, 2025, I/O developer conference in California.

- AI Mode uses a query fan-out technique and integrates a custom Gemini 2.5 model to issue multiple searches and deliver deeper, multimodal insights.
- Google said AI Mode will offer advanced reasoning, multimodality, and features like Deep Search, which creates expert-level, cited reports to save users research time.
- This transition signals Google's intent to maintain competitiveness amid growing AI search alternatives, though broader rollout timelines and user adoption rates remain uncertain.
