Guardian column questions Google Search’s AI summary impact on profits
A Guardian opinion piece asks whether Google’s AI-powered search summaries are harming its revenue. The column does not cite specific data but suggests the feature may reduce user engagement with paid ads or premium services. It frames the shift as a trade-off between utility and profitability, without naming Google’s financial figures or internal decisions.
