Exploring the AI-powered world of Google’s SGE • Yoast

Thanks to AI, search is very much on the move. Generative AI can help us do more in search engines, as Google shows in its Search Generative Experience (SGE). This experimental addition to the search engine gives us a glimpse of the future of search. Let’s take a look and see what it entails!

What is Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE)?

SGE is part of Google’s larger experimental initiative hosted under Search Labs. This is where it tests cutting-edge search functionalities. Generative AI, a highly advanced form of artificial intelligence capable of creating content, powers this innovative feature.

As announced on Google’s official blog, the underlying goal of SGE is to redefine search experiences, transforming them from passive information receivers to more interactive and personalized.

Google initiated the Search Generative Experience (SGE) to improve users’ search experience and develop the future of search. For this, Google uses generative AI to provide quick and concise overviews of search topics to enhance the search results.Or, as Google says, “We’re testing new ways to get more done right from Search.”
