Google's AI Overview, which told people to put glue on their pizza, is now in India! What to expect

• Google's AI Overviews feature is now in India
• The feature was introduced earlier this year
• AI Overviews initially told users to put glue on their pizzas

Remember when Google’s AI-powered search feature told people in the US to put glue on their Pizza so that the cheese would stick? It made headlines earlier this year and soon people were reporting more and more bizarre responses from the AI powered by the tech giant. Google addressed the issues promptly and also manually removed some responses. Since then, no such complaints have surfaced and AI Overviews seems to be working well for people. Now, AI Overviews is coming to India as well.

In a blog post, Google announced the feature for 6 new countries and India is one of them. In addition to this, the company has also announced some enhancements to the feature.

Google AI Overviews comes to India

In a blog post, Google announced that AI summaries are being used by people in the US and they are “satisfied with the results.”

“We extensively test how people respond to updates to Search. Since launching in the U.S., we've found people who use AI Overviews use Search more and are more satisfied with their results. People who are looking for help with complex topics are engaging more and keep coming back for AI Overviews. Additionally, we see even higher engagement from younger users, aged 18-24, when they use Search with AI Overviews,” the company said.

It also announced that AI Overviews is now coming to six new countries including India.

“After extensive testing and positive feedback, including in the U.S. and in Search Labs globally, we’re bringing the helpfulness of AI Overviews to six new countries: United Kingdom, India, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico and Brazil – along with local language support in each country,” the post read.

The feature is live for some users already and will gradually be available for all. To see if you can access the feature or not, simply head over to Google Search and type a query. If you see the AI summary, it means the feature is live for you.

About AI Overviews

For the unversed, AI Overviews show AI-generated summaries when you use Google Search to find information online. These summaries are designed to give you a quick overview of the information you are looking for before you click on any links. Moreover, the summaries are created by analysing data from various sources across the web.

Google first introduced these AI summaries in May, but the launch wasn’t perfect. Some summaries were inaccurate (Example, glue on pizza), there were even dangerous suggestions (Example: Eat rocks to stay fit), and ads started showing up in the summaries.


After a short break to fix these issues, Google brought the feature back as a test and is now going all out. Just a day after releasing the new Pixel 9 series, Google rolled out exciting new features for Search Labs users worldwide.
