October 28, 2024: Google Expands AI Search Globally - Google is expanding its AI Overviews feature in Search to over 100 countries, including support for English, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. Initially launched in the U.S., these AI-driven snapshots at the top of search results aim to enhance user experience and increase website traffic through in-line links. Despite early inaccuracies, Google is refining the feature, which now supports over 1 billion global users monthly. The feature will also include ads on relevant queries for U.S. mobile users, with plans to integrate similar functionality into Google Shopping.
