Recently, Google announced that their AI search summary feature will be expanded to over 100 countries. This feature, known as "AI Overviews," will be launched for users in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Colombia, Chile, the Philippines, Nigeria, and more. Users can check the specific list of countries on the Google official website.
A highlight of this update is that AI Overviews will be available in multiple languages across various countries, including English, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. This means that US users can search in Spanish and see the corresponding AI Overview content. This enhances the experience for multilingual users and allows them to access more relevant information.
It is worth noting, however, that Google has introduced an advertising feature in AI Overviews for the US, while in other countries, ads will still be displayed in dedicated spaces on the page rather than being embedded directly into the AI Overviews. This is particularly important for both advertisers and users.
In fact, Google launched AI Overviews in the US as early as May this year and expanded to the UK, India, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil in August. In addition to the expansion to new countries, Google has also enhanced the display position of referenced web pages in AI Overviews, an improvement that has been tested over several months.
The advancement of this technology will undoubtedly change the way users access information, making the search experience more intelligent.
