AI overviews expanded
Google announced the expansion of AI overviews in a blog post. AI overviews will now be available in more than 200 countries and more than 40 languages. Arabic, Chinese, Malay and Urdu are being added to it, which will be included with already existing languages like English, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish etc.
The tech veteran at Mountain View said that now more users can take advantage of this AI powered feature to ask questions, find information fast, and find out the relevant websites in Google’s search results. This feature gives a small overview of the topic discovered to the user, along with external links associated with that topic. It uses Gemini Large Language Model (LLM) to complete the search query, as well as its multistap region capabilities.
The AI overviews were first declared by the company during Google I/O 2024 for public access. Its availability was initially limited to US through search labs. In the last few months, its public rollouts and expansion have taken place in many other areas and the use of the feature has seen an increase of 10% by users. According to Google, the US and India are among its largest markets for AI overviews. Apart from the expansion of AI overview, the company is also making changes in LLM that runs this feature. From this week, a custom version of Gemini 2.5 will operate AI overview in Google Search in the US.
