TLDR: Google plans to improve its search engine to serve young people worldwide with a more visual and human-focused experience, according to documents cited by the Wall Street Journal.
The company will incorporate more human voices and move away from presenting traditional search results in the "10 blue links" format.
The upcoming I/O developer conference is expected to introduce new features allowing conversations with an AI program code-named "Magi."
To adapt to users seeking information beyond traditional web results, Google will emphasize integrating online forum posts and short videos.
The report comes after a senior Google engineer claimed in a leaked internal document that the company is losing its AI edge to open-source platforms like Meta's LLaMa, despite watching OpenAI closely.

Companies such as Huawei, Baidu, and Alibaba are studying how to achieve top performance with fewer or less powerful semiconductors and how to combine different types of chips.
Though it remains a significant challenge to catch up with American AI leaders, successful research could make Chinese tech firms more resilient to future sanctions similar to those indicated by the Biden administration.
