Search Engines and Artificial Intelligence

Search Engines algorithms have been employing AI since almost always. AI has been used to gather information (like keywords, content analysis, link quality etc.) to match the requisite pages with a user’s queries. Google, for example, is getting more and more user friendly due to use of AI. Now you can almost “ask’ google anything instead of writing down keywords.

Let’s look at an example:

 

If you search for, let’s say, ‘where is coldest place on earth?’

Google not only itself interprets that questions correctly but answers you accordingly. Moreover, it will provide multiple options as well to further assist you.

This is AI!

 

This RankBrain AI feature not only enables google to interpret ‘human like’ queries but also facilities Google in making its ‘information bank’.Everyday google receives ~3 billion search queries and about 15% of them are still never heard of by google.

 

This AI facilities Google in building up its ‘knowledge’ to present even faster results.
