Google's unleashes AI in search, raising hopes for better results and fears about less web traffic

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google on Tuesday rolled out a retooled search engine that will frequently favor responses crafted by artificial intelligence over website links , a shift promising to quicken the quest for information while also potentially disrupting the flow of money-making internet traffic.

“This bold and responsible approach is fundamental to delivering on our mission and making AI more helpful for everyone,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai told a group of reporters. Based on habits that emerged during the past year's testing phase of Google's AI overviews, about 25% of the traffic could be negatively affected by the de-emphasis on website links, said Marc McCollum, chief innovation officer at Raptive, which helps about 5,000 website publishers make money from their content.

But Google found the AI overviews resulted in people in conducting even more searches during the technology's testing “because they suddenly can ask questions that were too hard before,” said Liz Reid, who oversees the company's search operations, told The Associated Press during an interview. She declined to provide any specific numbers about link-clicking volume during the tests of AI overviews.

Anne Keast-Butler said China has an ‘advanced set of cyber capabilities’, and also has commercial hacking outfits and data brokers at its disposal.
