Google Chrome has launched a new AI-driven feature called "Store Reviews" aimed at enhancing online shopping safety and efficiency. This tool summarizes website reviews directly within the browser, allowing users to quickly assess a website's reputation.
The feature utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze reviews from trusted sources such as TrustPilot and ScamAdvisor. Summaries are displayed in Chrome's "page info bubble," which can be accessed by clicking the lock or "i" icon in the address bar.
For instance, when visiting a site, users can click the lock icon to view a panel that includes a dedicated "Store Reviews" section, presenting an AI-generated summary based on multiple reviews.
This initiative is part of Google's broader strategy to integrate AI into Chrome, which includes enhanced protection features that provide real-time defenses against harmful websites and downloads.
Dr. Emily Carter, a cybersecurity expert, commented on the feature's potential, stating that it could significantly improve users' online experiences by offering concise overviews and saving time. She emphasized the importance of transparency regarding the sources and methodology used in AI summarization.
As Google continues to develop AI capabilities for Chrome, users can anticipate a more secure and personalized browsing experience in the future.
