   Google Introduces Ads in AI Mode Answers

   Google has begun displaying ads within its AI Mode, an 'answer engine' distinct from its traditional search engine. Previously ad-free, AI Mode now includes sponsored links at the bottom of AI-generated answers, marked with a 'sponsored' label. This change follows a year of AI Mode being freely available to users, with premium features for Google One subscribers. The integration of ads aims to monetize AI Mode while maintaining compliance with advertising regulations.
