Google is exploring a new feature within its Labs program that transforms search results into concise, AI-generated audio overviews, designed to assist users engaged in multitasking or those who prefer auditory information. This experiment integrates AI-powered search summaries with NotebookLM, producing audio podcasts featuring synthesized AI hosts. Users can join the test, generating short audio clips with citations from trusted sources. However, concerns linger about Google potentially prioritizing its own AI results over third-party sites, impacting web traffic to those information sources, despite claims of increased search usage with AI Overviews.
Google is testing a new feature that delivers AI-generated audio overviews for search queries, merging search summaries with podcast-like discussions for easier information access.
The 'Search Labs | Audio Overview' feature generates a short audio summary from Google’s Gemini model, which analyzes relevant information from various third-party sites.
This new AI feature aims to cater to users who multitask or prefer audio content, allowing them to receive and experience search results in a novel way.
Concerns persist regarding AI summarization possibly overshadowing traditional sources, given Google's rise in traffic from these AI search results.
