Google is changing the way search results are displayed to reflect the shift in user behavior to AI bots and short-form video platforms. The traditional ’10 blue links’ format is moving towards a more ‘visual, easy-to-eat, personal and human’ experience.
Google will bring in the human voice and focus on queries that traditional web search results can’t easily answer. New features will debut at Google’s annual I/O developer conference, including “Magi,” which allows users to interact with artificial intelligence programs.
We plan to support content creators in the same way we’ve always done with websites. Search engines focus on serving young people around the world, taking their services further away from traditional formats.

AI-powered apps
The explosion in popularity of several new AI-powered apps poses new challenges to Google’s power as a portal to the Internet. The ChatGPT bot, developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, has sparked alarm within Google, pushing leadership to speed up work on similar products. Smaller search engines have been racing to incorporate conversational AI capabilities in hopes of gaining users by moving faster than Google.
Chatbots such as ChatGPT tend to falsify information and sources with confidence. A recent study by researchers at Stanford University on search engines using conversational AI technology found that only 51.5% of sentences contained relevant citations, and more than a quarter of the citations contained relevant sentences. did not support the content of
