Google launches AI-powered search summaries in over 100 additional countries.

However, only the general views of artificial intelligence in the United States include advertisements.

Google is expanding its AI-generated summaries to more than 100 countries this week. These brief search descriptions will appear for users in various nations, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Colombia, Chile, the Philippines, Nigeria, and many more. The complete list of countries can be found on Google's website.

In each of these countries, the AI summaries will be displayed in all supported languages, such as English, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. This means that if you perform a search in the United States in Spanish, you will be able to see an AI-generated summary in that same language.

Earlier this month, Google introduced ads in AI summaries for mobile devices, although this feature was initially launched only in the United States. In other regions, Google has indicated that "ads will continue to appear in dedicated spaces throughout the page," rather than being integrated directly into the AI summaries.

The company launched this summary feature in the United States in May, and then expanded it to the UK, India, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil in August. Additionally, Google has started to prominently display the cited webpages within these summaries after several months of testing.
