Google has recently announced the launch of an AI mode shortcut button in the iOS and Android versions of its Chrome browser. This feature is now available in the United States, and users can see the "AI Mode" button when opening a new tab in Chrome. In the future, this feature will gradually expand to 160 countries and support major languages including Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese.

The newly introduced AI mode button aims to allow users to access Google's latest AI search features more quickly on mobile devices. Users can ask multi-layered conversational questions through text, voice, or images and receive detailed and comprehensive search results. This mobile experience is optimized compared to the desktop version, and users no longer need to search or activate experimental features in the browser menu; they can simply tap once to access it.

The AI mode supports complex conversational searches and progressive question chains, allowing users to continuously expand or refine their questions. The system records the conversation context and automatically generates summaries and recommends related links, making information exploration more convenient. Each tab can serve as a personalized information workspace, integrating summarization, reasoning, and navigation functions.

Google aims to make the AI mode experience consistent between mobile and desktop, so users will be able to seamlessly access this feature across all devices in the future. Additionally, the AI mode has recently added "agent capabilities," allowing users to directly book restaurants, event tickets, or flight services through this feature, although some advanced features are limited to specific subscription users only.

In terms of privacy, Google states that the AI mode enhances search convenience while also focusing on data security. Although the company's privacy policies and data collection methods are often questioned, users can adjust relevant settings to protect their privacy, although this may affect the AI mode experience. Managers in enterprise and education sectors also need to find a balance between functionality and data management.

As the AI mode gradually becomes a core workflow in Chrome, users' search habits and ways of obtaining information will change, which will have a profound impact on content publishers' optimization strategies and users' information navigation methods.
