During a review of the latest quarterly report, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the search engine’s new “AI mode” has now reached a new milestone, 9to5Google reports.
Google’s new AI mode was launched in late May earlier this year after a period of beta testing, replacing the old “I’m Lucky” button. It has now crossed over 100 million monthly active users, Pichai said.
The new AI mode is so far only available in the US and India, but even so, given how large and ubiquitous Google Search is, that 100 million count doesn’t feel like very much. With all the hype and hubbub over AI and with how strongly Google has been pushing AI, you’d think more users than that would be all over AI mode—if they were interested.
Google has not yet revealed when Search’s AI mode will be launched in other countries and regions. Meanwhile, Google has been testing AI audio clips for search queries and even using AI to let you “try on” clothing before you buy.
