Google adds more AI features to Maps, Chrome, and other services

Google is rolling out a series of updates that put its Gemini artificial intelligence into more of its products. The changes include a major redesign for Google Maps with new AI-powered navigation and a conversational 'Ask Maps' feature, the expansion of the Gemini assistant into the Chrome browser for users in India and other countries, and new AI tools for creating and editing documents in Google Workspace.

Following user complaints, Google also says it will make it easier for people to turn off the generative AI search feature in Google Photos. The company is integrating its AI technology across several of its most popular services.
