Google is introducing a new artificial intelligence (AI) mode that more firmly embeds chatbot capabilities into its search engine, aiming to give users the experience of having a conversation with an expert. The "AI Mode" was made available in the US on Tuesday, appearing as an option in Google's search bar.

The tech giant is taking its next big step in artificial intelligence by adding interactive capabilities to its flagship product.

A new tab is coming to your Google Search bar, and it's going to feel a lot more like an AI chatbot than a traditional search engine. Google started testing AI Mode earlier this year, and announced at Tuesday's I/O developers conference that the feature will roll out to everyone in the US in the coming weeks.
