Google has introduced a new AI feature to summarize trending news stories for users in the US, specifically within mobile search apps on iOS and Android. This feature presents summaries under the Discover news feed, accompanied by tiny publisher logos. A disclaimer warns that the AI-generated content may contain errors. Although the feature focuses on lifestyle topics, it also summarizes unrelated content, such as scientific phenomena. This move mirrors concerns raised by the news industry over reduced traffic and challenges posed by AI summarization in terms of accuracy and copyright.
