- Bing will now display rich AI-generated information boxes in response to select search queries.
- The move comes just shortly after Google was forced to backpedal on AI-generated search overviews.
- Bing’s AI summaries haven’t faced much controversy since their debut in 2023.
Just weeks after Google took its foot off the accelerator with AI-generated overviews in search results, Microsoft is doubling down on the strategy instead. Starting today, Bing’s search pages will display a split view with traditional web results on the right and AI-powered information boxes on the left.
According to Microsoft’s announcement post, only a small percentage of user queries will see Bing’s new generative search experience. The provided example of “what is a spaghetti western?” does bring up the new Bing interface. However, other queries we tried (such as “what is Android”) still only display a small AI-generated overview at the top of a conventional result page.
