The trade association backing some of the biggest news publishers in the US slammed Google’s newly expanded AI Mode, which trades traditional search results for an AI chatbot-like interface. In a statement on Wednesday, the News/Media Alliance said the new feature is “depriving” publishers of both traffic and revenue.

Ads may appear “where relevant” below and “integrated into” AI Mode responses as part of a test, Google says. AI Mode lets Google Search users ask a question and get an AI-generated response, with the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and links to websites.

Google's expansion of Search and Shopping ads will open new opportunities for businesses to reach users during early, discovery moments.

I/O presentation, the company revealed AI assistants of all kinds, smart glasses and headsets, and state-of-the-art AI filmmaking tools.

Google's AI Mode, the experimental Google Search feature that lets users ask complex, multi-part questions via an AI interface, will roll out to everyone

The tech giant announced a new AI mode for its search engine that includes a chatbot-like feature that enables users to ask questions about anything and get answers written by Google’s AI models. What it means to “Google” something might soon change dramatically.

Users will be able to drop their ticket-buying query straight into the Google search bar, then sort through results.

At Google's I/O developer conference, it previewed new visual search, a search agent, and new personalization features coming this summer.
