Google has addressed concerns regarding the impact of its AI-generated content overviews on website traffic. The company confirmed that these AI summaries, designed to provide quick answers to users, are not reducing traffic to original websites.
Google emphasized that its AI overviews aim to complement search results by offering concise information while still directing users to source websites for full content. The firm reassured publishers and content creators that proper attribution and links remain intact, preserving web traffic flow.
This statement seeks to calm fears about AI’s role in changing online content consumption and reaffirms Google’s commitment to supporting digital publishers.
