Google is introducing AI overviews in YouTube search, similar to those in Google Search. A new video results carousel is being tested, which appears after specific search queries. This feature utilizes AI to highlight video clips that are most relevant to the user's search, enhancing content discovery.
It is particularly useful for product-related searches, like “best noise cancelling headphones,” or inquiries about locations, such as “museums to visit in San Francisco.” Currently, this test is available to a limited number of YouTube Premium members in the US for select English queries, and users are encouraged to provide feedback through the interface.
