Considered unique innovation, Google has released a new feature which will allow people to search the internet by taking a video.
This initiative – video search will let people point their camera at something, ask a question about it, and get search results.
Both Android and iPhone users globally will gain access to the feature from 1700 GMT by enabling “AI Overviews” in their Google app, but it will only support English at launch, BBC reports.
It is the latest move from the tech giant to change how people search online by utilising artificial intelligence (AI).
It comes three months after ChatGPT-maker OpenAI announced it was trialling the ability to search by asking its chatbot questions.
Google introduced AI-generated results at the top of certain search queries this year, with mixed results.
In May, the feature drew criticism for providing erratic, inaccurate answers, which included advising people to make cheese stick to pizza by using “non-toxic glue”.
At the time, a Google spokesperson said the issues were “isolated examples”. The results have since become better, with fewer inaccuracies.
Since then, there have been further moves to include AI in search, which included the ability to ask questions about still images using Google Lens.
