Publishers fret such Reduce traffic from GoogleThe search giant has begun to turn AI summaries inside the IOS and Android Google Search app to discover the major news feed inside. Now, instead of seeing the title from a large publication, users will see multiple news publisher logos in the top-left corner, then quoting an AI-exposed summary.
The app has warned that these summaries are generated with AI, “which can make a mistake.”
The feature is not yet appearing for all news stories in the Google app, it indicates that this change is probably a test. (Asked to comment on the amount of Google Rollout, but did not respond.) In the exam, TechCrunch was able to see AI summary of both iOS and Android applications in the United States
In addition to the summary, Google is trying to present the news shown in the discovery. Although not flagged as powered by AI, Some stories will include a set of bullet points Will be gathering with the bottom of the title or with similar news.
For example, a story related to President Trump’s Ukraine Agreement included links to other stories about Trump’s latest activities. Meanwhile, there were bullet points after a story in the Washington Post about Ice that summarized the story’s content.
The update of the search application comes because a number of publishers are examining AI on their own site -including, including Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, Blomberg, The United States is todayAnd others. Startups have also entered into action, as Particles, a news reader It just uses AI to summarize the stories but lets users see different sides or to ask follow-up questions to better understand the subject covered.
In spite of these tests, there are significant Concern in the publishing industry About how transfer to AI is affecting the website traffic and referrals. With features such as Google’s AI Overview and AI mode, users do not have to see any website directly to answer their search questions-it can be automatically shortened or divided into chatboat-style interfaces. Out of Google, this same trend is seen in other AI applications, such as ChatzPT or confusion.
Recently, Google tried to satisfy publishers LaunchA feature that allows publishers to create earnings outside of more traffic-dependent alternatives, such as advertising. With the offerwall, publishers who use Google Ad Manager can try different methods to provide access to their content, such as microployments or users survey, sign up for newsletters, see ads and more.
However, for many publishers, these tools are coming too late, as the traffic is already in steep decrease.
By a story Economist This week is mentioned that the global search traffic has decreased by more than 15% of the year as June, the Market Intelligence quotes data from the company’s data On the same webThe
Previous information from the firm Also find it The number of news searching on the web, which results in a click-threw on the news websites, increased from 56% in May 2021, when the AI overviews were introduced, about 5% increased by about 5% by May 2021. Organic traffic has also decreased, with 2.5 billion visits decreased in mid -2021, not.
In this shift, Google Discovery still remains a source for clicks, even after the traffic decreases from Google search. However, if AI summaries roll out more broadly in the Google app, it can no longer happen.
