Google has been among the forerunners of the AI revolution, using it to provide overviews of search queries from websites on its own results page.

“One tool suggests ‘Alt text’ to help visually impaired readers understand the content of a photograph or image, while the other tool suggests a number of entirely optional headlines on an article written by a journalist. The two tools were released to a small group of senior management who trialled them on a subset of articles published.
