Google Search: Difference between revisions

AI mode is a feature introduced for Google Search in 2025 as an alternative form to search information on the web. It uses a chat interface and [[artificial intelligence]] to search the web and find the content that might be relevant for the user. Like AI overview, there's no official way to disable this feature.

 

In 2026, Google will introduce integrated ads into AI overview and AI mode. These ads might appear in the conversations with Google's AIs with a similar appearence  to a regular answer, but they contain a small "sponsored" tag at the top of the reply, something that might be hard do identify at first glance. This form of integration has raised privacy and concerns about the potential usage of AI for manipulation and potential integrations that might make nearly impossible to differentiate between content that is and isn't an ad. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Hawkins|first=Josh|date=21 May 2026|title=Google's new AI search ads are designed to look like helpful answers |url=https://www.makeuseof.com/googles-new-ai-search-will-have-ads-hidden-in-your-answers/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260522223816/https://www.makeuseof.com/googles-new-ai-search-will-have-ads-hidden-in-your-answers/ |archive-date=2026-05-22 |access-date=22 May 2026 |website=Make Use Of}}</ref>
