Google today announced a number of new AI-powered features for its Search and Maps products. These features are designed to make it easier for users to find information and get around the world..

The new search engine is also able to generate natural language responses to questions. For example, if you ask the search engine, “Who is the president of the United States?” the search engine will be able to respond with, “The president of the United States is Joe Biden.”.
Another new AI-powered feature for Search is a new image search tool that allows users to search for images by using natural language queries. For example, if you want to find images of cats, you can simply type “cats” into the search bar and the image search tool will return a list of images of cats..
The new image search tool is also able to generate natural language descriptions of images. For example, if you hover over an image of a cat, the image search tool will display a description of the image, such as “A black and white cat sitting on a windowsill.”.
