Google announces AI-enabled updates to its search, maps, translate services

Google has announced a number of artificial intelligence-enabled updates across its products, including Search, Maps, and Translate, amid rising competition from Microsoft, which is also integrating AI into its suite of solutions.

“In the coming months, you will be able to use Lens to search your screen on Android globally. With this technology, you can search what you see in photos or videos across the websites and apps, like messaging and video apps without having to leave the app or experience,” Google said in a blogpost on Wednesday.

The company also introduced multisearch, which will let users search with a picture and text at the same time.
