Description:
Google opens the doors to its Search Labs program and is currently rolling 
out invites so get on the waitlist now.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google has opened up access to its Search Labs testing program allowing users 
to try out the upcoming search engine update with the most notable change 
being the Search Generative Experience or SGE. 

To be clear, Search Labs isnt technically open to the public as youll have to 
first join a waitlist. If youve already signed up, be sure to check your 
email account for an invitation from Google as they're currently rolling out. 
Dont worry if you havent entered as theres still room left in the waitlist on 
both desktop and mobile. 

To join on desktop, you need to first install Google Chrome on your computer. 
From there, head on over to the Search Labs website , select Join Waitlist, 
and wait for the invitation to arrive. On mobile devices, launch the Google 
app. You should see a science beaker-esque icon in the top left corner of the 
screen. Just like before, select Join Waitlist then wait for the invite. 
Search Labs is available on both iOS and Android so no ones being left out. 
Install the latest app update if you don't see the icon. Limited-time only 

Unless youre a subscriber to Google One Premium , it may take a while until 
you get an invite. A recent report from 9To5Google states Premium subscribers 
are getting priority access to Search Labs, although it wont be immediate. 
Access spots are limited at the moment, but more will open up over the coming 
weeks. 

But once you get the invite, act fast. SGE and the rest of the Search Labs 
experiments will be available for a limited time only . Its unknown for how 
long, so we asked Google for more information. This story will be updated if 
we hear back. 

Theres been a fair amount of hype surrounding SGE ever since it was first 
revealed during I/O 2023 . The technology essentially enhances Google Search 
to provide long, detailed responses to queries by taking context into 
consideration. It could very well completely change how people use the search 
engine . Word of advice 

For the lucky few who get early access to SGE, Google recommends starting off 
with simple terms so you can get used to how the AI works. Once you get a 
feel for it, try entering more specific queries. One of the highlighted use 
cases of SGE is to help people with their shopping. The AI can generate a 
detailed list of features, reviews, price points, and even link to the 
product itself. 

In addition to Googles advice, we have some of our own because weve used 
multiple generative AI models from Bing to Brave Summarizer . One thing weve 
learned is generative AIs can hallucinate, meaning they come up with totally 
false information that bears no resemblance to reality. Don't always believe 
what you read. And do be mindful of what you enter as generative AIs keep the 
information you type in. In fact, some major tech corporations, like Samsung 
, have banned their employees from using ChatGPT after some sensitive 
information was leaked. 

Google I/O 2023 revealed a lot more than just the tech giants AI tools. Be 
sure to check out TechRadars coverage of the event as it happened.
