Google Discover is testing an AI-powered update, transforming its personalized news feed. The update replaces traditional news headlines and direct article links with AI-generated summaries, mirroring the AI Overviews function found in Google Search.
Instead of highlighting a single source, the AI summaries will cite multiple websites for a broader perspective. This change aims to provide users with concise overviews and diverse information sources directly within the Discover feed.
Additionally, Google is experimenting with a bullet-point format for these summaries, likely to further enhance readability and information absorption. This AI-driven approach suggests Google’s continued focus on leveraging artificial intelligence to curate and present news content in more accessible and comprehensive ways. The potential impact on news publishers and traffic referral remains to be seen.
