Google plans to update AI Mode so that AI answers highlight more inline links and a short explanation of why each source was chosen, addressing criticism about opaque AI summaries.
Google AI Mode promises more links and context for sources
This article explains how Google is tweaking its AI Mode search experience. Instead of a wall of text with a small carousel underneath, the AI answer will now point directly to more sources, and even add a short explanation about why those links are relevant to the generated summary.
What changes for users and publishers
- AI Mode will surface more inline links inside answers, not just at the bottom of the page.
- Each group of links gets a brief AI written description that clarifies what information they contribute.
- The update is framed as part of a broader attempt to show that AI search can still drive traffic to human written sites.
