Alphabet’s Google launched an experimental version of its search engine on Wednesday that completely eliminates its classic 10 blue links in favor of an AI-generated summary.

The new feature, available to subscribers of Google One AI Premium, can be accessed via the results page for any search query by clicking on a tab labeled “AI Mode” to the side of existing options like Images and Maps.

“We’ve heard from power users that they want AI responses for even more of their searches,” Robby Stein, a vice president of product, said in a blog post.

Google One AI Premium is a $19.99 per month plan that provides extra cloud storage and special access to some AI features.

Google currently displays AI Overviews, summaries that are increasingly appearing atop the traditional hyperlinks to relevant webpages, for users in more than 100 countries. It began adding advertisements to AI Overviews last May.

After its launch on Jan 18 and nearly a month of internal testing, Beijing Children’s Hospital’s artificial intelligence model specializing in pediatrics faced the task of diagnosing and treating its first patient on Feb 13.

The first case involved an 8-year-old boy who for three weeks had been experiencing persistent ticks, which are habitual spasmodic muscle contractions.

A mass discovered at the base of the boy’s skull two weeks earlier presented a complex medical condition for which diagnostic results across multiple hospitals had proved inconsistent.

Ni Xin, head of the hospital, along with 13 renowned experts from different departments, conducted in-depth discussions regarding the boy’s condition. They concluded that further MRI evaluation was necessary and recommended expediting the completion of the required examinations.

Figure AI announced that it had signed its second major commercial partner, bringing the dream of humanoid robots from labs into everyday life closer than ever. CEO Brett Adcock said the deal might make it possible to ship 100,000 humanoid robots over the next four years.

While details of the new customer remain under wraps, Adcock claims it is “one of the biggest U.S. companies,” spurring immediate speculation that it could be a large retailer or technology enterprise with significant labor needs.

Adcock’s remarks came in an update on LinkedIn, where he emphasized the importance of forging deep relationships with high-capacity customers rather than spreading the company’s efforts thin across many smaller clients. “Our newest customer is one of the biggest U.S. companies,” Adcock said.

Scientists warn that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has crossed a critical “red line” as researchers in China revealed that two leading large language models (LLMs) can replicate themselves, raising concerns about safety and ethical boundaries.
“Successful self-replication under no human assistance is the essential step for AI to outsmart (humans), and is an early signal for rogue AIs,” the researchers stated in their study, published on December 9, 2024, in the preprint database arXiv.
