Google is now allowing users to test out the new Generative AI, but it is not for everyone

As mentioned earlier, Google is inviting testers to check out the new generative AI search. Take note that not everyone is eligible to gain access to the Search Labs, as Google is allowing those who have signed up to be a part of the program. If you wish to be a part of the experience, you have to join through the Google Labs program. Once done, you will be put on a waitlist. Google initially announced the AI Search Experience at its I/O event earlier this month alongside the new Pixel 7a and the Pixel Fold.
