These companies that we mention try to make things easier for us and offer us a better user experience by integrating some Artificial Intelligence features. But the truth is that sometimes you have to set certain limits so that these intelligent functionalities do not exceed the preferences of their users.
As with Microsoft, Google wants to integrate some smart functions into part of its projects. One of the most important for years is the Chrome browser, which of course is not going to get rid of these AI additions. We tell you all this because now the search giant is working on a new tool that will focus on searches in Chrome’s stored history.
At this point it goes without saying that this is one of the most used elements by most users. It is responsible for saving all those pages that we have visited over time, accumulating months and even years of web browsing from Chrome. Obviously, we can find everything here, both on a personal and professional level. Well, we tell you all this because the program will soon allow you to perform searches based on these saved contents, using AI.
Thanks to the integration that we mentioned, we will be able to carry out searches in history, powered by AI. All using everyday language to find sites stored over time. However, it is quite possible that this new functionality will not convince everyone. Especially to those who take maximum care of their privacy.
This will be the search in Chrome history with AI
And we must take into consideration that these search data are sent to the Google servers, even if the content of the pages is encrypted locally. This is an arrival that has been talked about for a long time, and it seems that now we can confirm it. At the moment it is still in the testing period, but it is expected to reach the stable versions of the browser soon.
We are referring to the possibility of searching for websites in the history accumulated in the program itself. And it doesn’t just refer to the pages themselves, but also their content, all thanks to integrated AI.
Initially the search giant is calling this new feature AI-powered history search. It will allow us to use everyday language to search our browsing history and find the sites we have visited over time. The main advantage of all this is that it is no longer limited to websites, but we can also do searches based on its content.
But as Google says, the search terms and page content are still sent to their servers for the AI model training. Sometimes human review will even be necessary, which does not convince many users. This means that Google employees don’t have access to the websites you’ve visited in Chrome, only search queries, and therein lies the problem.
With everything and with this, everything indicates that this functionality based on Artificial Intelligence can be deactivated when it reaches the final version of chrome.
