Google has announced the expansion of its AI-generated search summaries to six new countries, including Brazil, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and the UK. This move comes just two months after the company scaled back the feature following a troubled launch in the United States in May, where it faced criticism for providing factually inaccurate answers. The AI Overviews feature will now be available in local languages such as Hindi, Japanese, and Portuguese, and will include more prominent hyperlinks to improve user experience. The expansion aims to streamline user experience and provide more accurate information.
