Google announced a major upgrade to its Gmail search functionality on Thursday, introducing artificial intelligence to optimize email search results. This new feature will consider factors such as recency, click frequency, and contact usage to help users find the emails they need faster. Previously, Gmail search only displayed emails containing keywords in chronological order. Google stated: "With this update, the email you're looking for is more likely to appear at the top of your search results—saving you valuable time and helping you find important information more easily."

The latest Google 'Helpful Content' update has raised concerns among website owners, with some claiming they have been pushed down in search results and experiencing a sharp decline in traffic. The update allows AI-generated content, which has sparked dissatisfaction among site owners who fear that Google is forcing publishers to produce AI-generated junk content or risk being penalized. Google has simplified its definition of 'helpful content' from 'content written for people by people' to 'content written for people.'
