Google launches Advanced AI Search in India through Labs
New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): Google added an AI mode feature to India on Tuesday as an experiment in Labs in English. This feature will provide more advanced reasoning and multimodality, as well as the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web.
'Using a custom version of Gemini 2.5 lets you ask longer, more complex or nuanced questions that would have previously required multiple searches,' Google said.
Early tester of this AI mode lets you ask much longer queries, two to three times the length of traditional searches. This would be helpful for exploratory questions and for more complicated tasks like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding complex how-tos.
This AI mode feature is multimodal, which means that one can speak their question or even snap a photo to raise a query.
Google believes this launch is part of its long-term vision to make finding and accessing information even more effortless in Search. It further adds that this would help people to turn to Google Search to tackle increasingly complex and nuanced questions.
'AI Overviews, now used by over 1.5 billion users monthly, is a testament to this evolution. In our biggest markets like the U.S. and India, it's already driving a more than 10% increase in usage for the types of queries where they appear,' Google said.
'This implies that once people use AI Overviews, they're coming to do more of these types of queries, and what's particularly exciting is how this growth increases over time,' Google added.
To access the feature, one must sign up for Labs and try out the AI Mode in Google Search.
'We aim to show an AI-powered response as much as possible, but in cases where we don't have high confidence, you will see a set of web search results,' Google added. (ANI)

Samsung set to launch Galaxy Z Flip 7, Fold 7 & Fold Ultra at July 9 event in New York
Samsung has officially confirmed a high-profile launch event set for July 9 in Brooklyn, New York, where it is expected to reveal its newest foldable smartphones — the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7, and a possible premium entry, the Fold Ultra. The event, dubbed Samsung Unpacked 2025, will also be live-streamed on Samsung's website and YouTube. Sticking to its mid-year schedule, Samsung aims to steal the spotlight before Google's and Apple's fall launches. This year's foldables are rumored to be thinner, lighter, and feature enhanced displays, upgraded cameras, and longer battery life. A notable addition could be the 'Ultra experience' teased by Samsung, which points toward a high-performance foldable — possibly the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra — with a powerful camera and integrated AI tools. While the Galaxy S series remains Samsung's top-selling product line, the company is betting big on foldables. Since launching its first folding phone in 2019, Samsung has dominated the segment, though competition from Chinese brands like Honor and Oppo is heating up with sleeker designs. The event may also showcase updates on Project Moohan, Samsung's mixed-reality headset being developed in collaboration with Google. Running on Android XR, this headset could rival Apple's Vision Pro in terms of functionality and design. Additionally, a new wearable device may make its debut. With Apple rumored to enter the foldable space in 2026, Samsung is clearly racing to solidify its lead in this futuristic category. Stay tuned for what promises to be a game-changing reveal.

Australian regulator clashes with YouTube over first-ever teen social media ban exemption
Australia's internet watchdog and Google-owned YouTube engaged in a spat, after the regulator urged the government to reverse its planned exemption for the video-sharing platform from a world-first ban on social media for teens. Australia aims to be the first country to fine social media companies that fail to block users under the age of 16. Where does the issue between Australia-YouTube stems from The government, led by Anthony Albanese, had previously indicated it would grant YouTube a waiver, citing the platform's utility for educational and health content. Other social media giants, including Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, have argued that such an exemption would create an unfair playing field. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant revealed she wrote to the government last week, advocating for no exemptions when the law takes effect. She highlighted the regulator's research, which found that 37% of children aged 10 to 15 reported encountering harmful content on YouTube – the highest percentage among all social media sites surveyed. 'This is not a fair fight where our kids are concerned, vis-a-vis social media sites,' Inman Grant said. She contended that social media companies employ 'persuasive design features" like recommendation-based algorithms and notifications to maximise user engagement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Inman Grant specifically accused YouTube of having 'mastered those, opaque algorithms driving users down rabbit holes they're powerless to fight against.' Google says advice 'inconsistent and contradictory' In a swift rebuttal via a blog post, YouTube accused Inman Grant of providing "inconsistent and contradictory advice." Rachel Lord, YouTube's public policy manager for Australia and New Zealand, asserted that the Commissioner "chose to ignore this data, the decision of the Australian Government and other clear evidence from teachers and parents that YouTube is suitable for younger users," referencing government research that found 69% of parents considered the platform suitable for those under 15. When questioned about surveys supporting a YouTube exemption, Inman Grant firmly stated her priority: "about the safety of children and that's always going to surpass any concerns I have about politics or being liked or bringing the public onside."
