News publishers see Google’s AI search tool as a traffic-destroying nightmare

Publishers are growing increasingly concerned about Google's AI-powered search tool, fearing that it could significantly reduce their web traffic. The tool, called "Search Generative Experience," uses AI to provide full answers to search queries, eliminating the need for users to click on links to access publishers' sites. Google's integration of AI in search could have a detrimental impact on publishers who heavily rely on Google-generated traffic. While Google promises to prioritize sending traffic to publishers, estimates suggest a potential loss of 20-40% of Google-generated traffic for publishers.

OpenAI is a bigger threat to Google than US regulators

Google's dominance in the search market is being threatened by OpenAI's AI tools, including the popular ChatGPT chatbot. While a recent antitrust ruling against Google is seen as a win for regulators, the immediate impact of AI on search is a bigger concern for Google. OpenAI's partnership with Apple to bring ChatGPT to its devices and the launch of SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine, further intensify the competition. Google's scattered efforts in AI and previous missteps in releasing AI features have also affected trust. However, ending Google's dominance in search will be challenging, and it remains to be seen if alternative choices will emerge for consumers.
