“At the Google I/O 2026 keynote this week, the company announced that it is overhauling Search to embrace a conversational, AI-driven approach”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is found in a single cross-reference (Flipboard).

The date 2026 is in the future relative to standard training data, but only one provided source explicitly mentions this specific event/year combination.
