Google is rolling out AI summaries in Discover feed: Know what it means for users
Google is said to bring AI summaries to the Discover feed for all the trending news articles. These summaries are likely formed using information from the publishers, which are also listed on the left side of the summary. Just below the AI summary, Google also warns that the content is 'generated with AI, which can make mistakes.'
As of now, only a few users have access to this feature, leading users in the US to speculate as a test on Android and iOS. However, TechCrunch reported that a Google Spokesperson has confirmed that the AI summary is officially rolling out to users in the U.S. It was further highlighted that the AI summaries will be focused on lifestyle-focused articles such as sports and entertainment. This will allow users to decide which page or publication they want to visit for detailed information.
Alongside AI summaries, some news articles all also being displayed in bullet points, but they are not flagged as generated by AI. However, Google might be testing new ways to display information on the Discover feed, which makes it easier for users to get the gist of information. The AI summaries in Discover are currently not available in India or other markets except the U.S. However, the tech giant may plan to roll out the feature globally later.

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says Google ‘a giant bureaucratic organization': ‘At some point, they need to…'
Aravind Srinivas, CEO and cofounder of Perplexity AI Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas recently took an aim at Google saying their core business model is not built for the AI-driven future of web browsing. In a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" on July 16, Srinivas said that Google's reliance on ads is at odds with AI agents. He wrote 'They have business model constraints on letting agents do the clicks and work for you while continuing to charge advertisers enormous money to keep bidding for clicks and conversions'. Stating that the tech giant is constrained by its need to protect ad revenue, he said 'At some point, they need to embrace one path and suffer, in order to come out stronger; rather than hedging and playing both ways'. Google is a giant bureaucratic organization: Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas also criticized Google's internal structure, calling it 'a giant bureaucratic organization' with 'too many decision makers and disjoint teams.' Srinivas, during the AMA session, said that he expects Google to "pay close attention" and eventually copy or adopt features from Comet – the company's AI-powered web browser. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Greatest Female Singers, Ranked Drivepedia Undo At a Y Combinator event in June, Perplexity CEO said 'If your company is something that can make revenue on the scale of hundreds of millions of dollars or potentially billions of dollars, you should always assume that a model company will copy it'. Aravind Srinivas also referred to Google's internal Project Mariner as 'similar but quite limited.' He said the browser is designed to prioritize users, not advertisers. Stating that 'We underestimated people's willingness to pay,' he added that 'We also want to bring a change to this world. Enough of the monopoly of Google'. Comet is currently available by invitation and only to users of Perplexity's top-tier plan, priced at $200/month or $2,000/year. A free version is planned. Despite his criticism, Srinivas acknowledged the browser wouldn't be possible without Chromium, the open-source project maintained by Google.
