Truthout reports the redesign accelerates a shift away from traditional link results toward on-page AI summaries, reducing the incentive for users to click through to publisher sites.
Per Adweek and Similarweb (March 2025 data), 77% of Google searches that include an AI Overview ended without a click to any external site.
Adweek also documented that AI Overviews appear on some 13% of all search results.
The EU is watching: the European Commission set a July 27, 2026 compliance deadline under the Digital Markets Act requiring Google to share anonymized search data with rival search engines and AI chatbot providers, per The Next Web.
Information agents are launching this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US; generative UI will be free for all users.
