Google announces glasses are back and search is getting an AI makeover

Google announced updates to its search engine that will use AI more heavily, allowing users to ask longer, more natural questions that get answered by Google's chatbot instead of traditional search results. The company also revealed new smart glasses (wearable devices with computer capabilities) for consumers, marking its return to the hardware market over a decade after its previous glasses faced public criticism. These changes are powered by Google's new Gemini 3.5 AI model.
