Google Tests 'AI Mode' on Search Homepage

Google is testing a new 'AI Mode' feature on its Search homepage, replacing the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button. This experimental feature is currently available to some users in Google's Labs environment.

Google is testing a redesign of its Search homepage by replacing the iconic 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button with a new 'AI Mode' feature. This experimental AI-powered search option began rolling out to select users in Google's Labs environment, as confirmed by a company spokesperson to The Verge.

The introduction of 'AI Mode' comes just a week before the Google I/O event, where the company is expected to announce significant updates to its AI-powered search offerings. This move marks a rare change to Google's Search homepage, which has remained largely consistent over the years.

The test follows recent reports of a decline in Google Searches on Safari, attributed to the growing popularity of AI tools like ChatGPT. This shift may be prompting Google to innovate and enhance its search capabilities to maintain its competitive edge.
