Overwhelmed by Google's series of statements: Has the future of AI search arrived?

Google has started integrating chatbots into its search engine, launched an AI movie-making tool, and plans to launch a smart wearable device with Samsung.

On May 20, Google held its annual I/O 2025 developer conference. At the event, the company announced many new tools and features based on artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the conference, CEO Sundar Pichai said that the updates on Google "completely reimagine search" and use "advanced inference" to think before providing answers to users.

“This is an exciting moment for search,” he said.

Google’s latest revelations come as the company faces a slew of questions about the future of internet search, with some reports suggesting that search engines in general are declining as users increasingly turn to AI chatbots.

Here are the tools, features, and plans Google just announced at I/O 2025:

AI mode in search

Google has confirmed that it has begun integrating Gemini AI into its search engine. The AI ​​mode has its own tab for users to choose from. This allows them to ask longer, more complex questions for deeper searches, instead of having to search multiple times like before.

The feature is coming to US Google users first before expanding to other regions in the coming months.

Google has been testing AI mode since launching AI Overviews last year and listening to user feedback. Vice President and Head of Search Elizabeth Reid said AI Overviews has been one of the most successful search products of the past decade and users have been happy with the results.

Translate directly in Google Meet

Google is demonstrating a live translation tool in its Meet video calling app. This is one of the examples of how generative AI will make life easier. Initially, the feature supports translation between English and Spanish. Users just need to speak their native language and the tool will automatically provide subtitles for the other person to understand the content.

Mariner Project

This is the name of Google's AI Agent development plan. Mariner plans to launch a new tool this year that can perform automated web tasks on behalf of users.

For example, the user can ask the agent to search for a hotel in the upcoming city, or a part needed to repair a car.

Google says it's in the early stages of the technology but aims to integrate it into Chrome, its search engine and the Gemini app.

AI movie making tools

At a time when the debate about the impact of AI content on the creative industry is intense, Google continues to show its desire to become a leader in this field. At I/O 2025, the American technology giant introduced a series of new tools, including Veo 3 video-generating AI, Imagen 4 photo-generating AI, Lyria 2 music-generating AI, and Flow movie-generating AI.

All of them can produce high-quality, lifelike multimedia content. But Google says it is working closely with the creative industry to help shape how models are developed that work for creators, not replace them.

Android XR

Google has long been planning to make headsets and glasses with Gemini AI. The company said it is working with Samsung on Project Moohan and plans to launch smart glasses running Android XR “later this year.”

According to Google, the Android XR glasses are lightweight and can be worn all day, are compatible with phones so they don't require manual control. Thanks to the integration of Gemini AI, the glasses are able to answer questions based on what the wearer sees and hears. The glasses also have a real-time translation feature like Google Meet.

In addition, Google also collaborated with two fashion brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to help the glasses look more stylish.

Google AI Ultra

Google has announced a super-premium plan for those who want to use its AI technology first. Called Google AI Ultra, the plan costs $249.99/month and gives access to all of its AI tools first, including its most powerful models.

Tools in the Google AI Ultra package include Gemini, Flow, Whisk, NotebookLM, YouTube Premium, and 30 TB storage.

The secret is revealed: Why are more and more people saying goodbye to Google? The sharp decline in search traffic is proof that new technology like ChatGPT can overthrow even long-standing 'giants' like Google.
