Course correction: Google to link more sources in AI Overviews
Google’s AI search will start citing its sources in several new ways.
TL;DR
- Google is adding new sections to AI Overviews, such as 'Further Exploration' and 'Expert Advice,' to include more links to external websites.
- These new sections will feature bullet-point lists of relevant articles, analysis, news, reviews, and forum discussions.
- Google is also developing a feature for subscription integration, allowing subscribed websites to appear more prominently in AI search results.
- Hovering over links in AI Overviews will soon provide a pop-up preview of the website.
- These changes come amid criticism that AI Overviews reduce website traffic and face legal challenges over content usage.
