AI Overviews Available in More Countries

In May 2024, Google announced the launch of the AI Overviews feature in the United States. Now, it has released another update related to its expansion in 6 new countries across the globe.

India, Japan, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Brazil are part of the new country list that can use AI to summarize its search results.

Over the past few months, various conflicts and discussions have taken place over the impact of AI overviews. Let me inform you the debate still continues.

However, Google claims that with the use of AI overviews, users can drive more traffic to the website and engagement. However, its impact on content creators and publishers remains skeptical.

Implementation of New Feature

A few updates have also been introduced to the AI Overviews feature, including:

1. Link display within the text to showcase relevant websites (both desktop and mobile results)

2. Save option for specific AI Overviews result

3. Simplify language function in the AI Overviews summaries

The global rollout will soon highlight the new feature’s efficacy in various languages and cultural contexts.

The initial test results collected by the Google team were positive, but how after its final launch market will respond is yet to be seen.
