"The purpose of the new commercial partnership program is to "explore how AI can drive more engaged audiences," Google said in a blog post. As part of the new AI pilot program, the company will work with publishers to experiment with new features in Google News. By adding AI-powered article overviews, Google says users will get more context before they click through to read an article."
"This isn't the first time that Google has introduced AI summaries for news. In July, the company rolled out AI summaries in Discover, the main news feed inside Google's search app. With this change, users no longer see a single headline from a major publication in the feed. Instead, they see the logos of multiple news publishers in the top-left corner, followed by an AI-generated summary that cites those sources."
Google is testing AI-powered overviews on participating publishers' Google News pages through a commercial pilot with multiple international outlets including Der Spiegel, El País, Folha, Infobae, Kompas, The Guardian, The Times of India, The Washington Examiner, and The Washington Post. The pilot aims to explore how AI can drive more engaged audiences and will let Google and publishers experiment with new features. AI-generated overviews will provide more context before users click through to read full stories. Participating publishers will receive direct payments, and features will include clear attribution, links to full stories, audio briefings, and real-time information partnerships.
