Google's parent company, Alphabet, has announced that it is expanding its AI-generated summaries for search queries to six new countries. This comes just two months after the feature was rolled back due to problems with accuracy. The AI Overviews feature, which provides summaries at the top of search results, was widely criticized for providing factually inaccurate information. Google has since made updates to the product, restricting the queries that display AI answers and curbing user-generated content from websites like Reddit. The feature is now being launched in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and Britain, with hyperlinks to relevant websites also being added.
