In September 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/products\/search\/making-visual-content-more-useful-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google announced<\/a> a major rehaul of Google Images.<\/p>\n<p>The next month, Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/products\/search\/learn-and-do-more-lens-google-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> that its AI-powered Google Lens would integrate with Images search.

For example, AI technology encourages more image-based relationships and increases the frequency of images in the search results.<\/p>\n<p>To explain that concept further, when the search engine determines that showing pictures would be useful to the searcher, the system automatically makes the decision to show them more often.<\/p>\n<p>And, as AI progresses, Google is able to understand what an image represents and associate that image with a query. Relevance will improve, and the frequency of images in the search results will increase.
