Google Search will continue to evolve in the direction of Search Generative Experience. That’s according to Alphabet\/Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who recently spoke about AI, Search and more at the 2024 Business, Government & Society Forum at Stanford University.<\/p>\n
The future of information and answers. <\/strong>AI has been transforming Google Search for years. Google hasn’t been “10 blue links” for a long time, Pichai said, adding:<\/p>\n Answers vs. search. <\/strong>Google’s mission has been to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Google historically has done its best to reflect what’s on the web and provide trustworthy, high-quality information. <\/p>\n Pichai mentioned the search rater guidelines are one way Google represents the viewpoint of its user base. And we know from Pandu Nayak’s testimony in the antitrust trial<\/a> that Information Satisfaction (IS) scores<\/a> from raters are a key metric for assessing search quality.<\/p>\n But the arrival of Google SGE and AI-generated answers has had many brands, SEOs and content creators concerned that searchers would no longer click on websites – because they got the answer directly from SGE. Since introducing various types of web answers, Google has tried to strike a balance, Pichai said.<\/p>\n AI improving Search. <\/strong>Pichai has long said AI is more profound than fire or electricity. What excites Pichai about AI is how it can help improve Search. <\/p>\n Why we care. <\/strong>AI has radically reshaped Google Search and SEO over the past year – and we’re expecting more big changes in the coming months. It’s always good to understand where Google Search is heading, as opposed to where it is or was. Also, it can’t be left unsaid that Pichai’s interview rings a bit hollow, especially in light of the many valid criticisms of the quality of Search results and SGE answers we’re seeing at this point in time.<\/p>\n Dig deeper. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
