Search engine giant, Google, has introduced Scholar Labs which leverages AI to answer users’ scholarly research questions. It is essentially an upgraded yet a separate version of Google Scholar but adds generative AI “to act as an advanced research tool.” Google Scholar has been traditionally pulling up papers based on keywords from the search query.

The driver is not the search crawler of a decade ago.
