Google's AI-powered search features, including AI Overviews and AI Mode, have seen increasing user adoption nearly a year after their U.S. launch. The company reported that 1.5 billion users access AI-generated answers monthly, which provide real-time, synthesized responses instead of traditional keyword-based search results with clickable links. This shift marks a transformation in search behavior, with AI generating answers directly and reducing the need for users to visit external websites. Industry observers note that this evolution could accelerate the integration of AI with augmented reality (AR), as seen in applications like Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses that employ multimodal AI to interpret surroundings. While this development benefits Google by consolidating search traffic, it raises concerns for other websites facing declines in traffic and revenue. Companies such as xAI, Google, and Perplexity are advancing this new paradigm, emphasizing a future where users ask questions and receive AI-generated responses without traditional browsing.
