Google says the new AI search feature, which appears at the top of the results page, will include multiple videos, along with an AI summary of each. You can tap the video thumbnails to begin playing them right from the carousel. The summary is intended to extract the information most relevant to your search query, so you may not even have to watch the videos.
The AI results carousel is only a test right now, and it’s limited to YouTube Premium subscribers. If you’re paying for Premium, you can enable the feature on YouTube’s experimental page. While the feature is entirely opt-in, that probably won’t last long. Like AI Overviews in search, this feature will take precedence over organic search results and get people interacting with Google’s AI, and that’s the driving force behind most of the company’s decisions lately.
