Google Discovery, Smartphones, is allegedly getting a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature on personal news and blog feed inside the Google app. According to the report, the direct links to Fed News headlines and news articles are changing with AI -infield summary, which is like the AI review feature in search. This feature is said to eliminate the mention of the same post, and instead show many websites as a reference. In addition, a Mountain View -based tech giant is also allegedly experimenting with a built -point style summary format, which does not strengthen AI.
Google Discovery allegedly brings AI’s summary for news publishers’ concerns
According to a Tech Crunch report, some users have seen a new feature in Google Discovery. Instead of watching news headlines and lead images, they are allegedly watching the AI review style of the news. The new format is also said to remove the link directly from the mention of the publisher or the article, and instead show many people of the publishers (who have covered the news).

The post reached the company, and a spokesperson allegedly said that this was not a test, but instead only a new feature is only available in the United States. Tech Crunch highlights that AI is seen in the United States on both Android and iOS devices.
Google’s new AI feature has come at a time when news publishers are struggling to get traffic on their websites and pages due to the rise of AI chat boats and Google AI products, such as AI review and AI format. Since Generative AI Tolls take information from the publicly available web pages and provide answers to questions in a conversation manner, it has begun to eat globally in search traffic.
According to economists, in June, search traffic worldwide decreased by 15 % (YOY), while the news websites and articles have increased by 56 % in May 2024 (when the AI review was launched) has increased by about 69 69 % in May this year. In addition, the report claims that global organic traffic on these websites has also reduced H1 2024 to less than 2.3 billion in the current year.
In particular, the US -based non -profit Trade Association, News/Media Alliance issued a statement to Google’s AI format in May and called it “definition of theft.” The allegation was made when the traditional search results in AI mode show a comprehensive answer to the user’s questions without a list of URL.
Despite the concerns, Google has not resolved the concerns of news publishers. Currently, Tech Dev does not provide a stand loan method to prevent their content from collecting their content through Google Boat, which, according to company documents, also opens its data to its AI product. The only way is to prevent the Google Boat from crawling data, which will lead to removal of all kinds of search results, including web search, Google Images and Discovery.
