In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmediaalliance.org\/google-ai-mode-statement\/\">a statement on Wednesday<\/a>, the News\/Media Alliance said the new feature is \u201cdepriving\u201d publishers of both traffic and revenue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">During Google I\/O on Tuesday, the company announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/google-io\/670439\/google-ai-mode-search-io-2025\">that it\u2019s expanding AI Mode to all users<\/a> in the US, which appears in a new tab directly within Search. When users enter a query, AI Mode serves up an AI-generated response alongside a list of relevant links. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cLinks were the last redeeming quality of search that gave publishers traffic and revenue,\u201d Danielle Coffey, the CEO and president of News\/Media Alliance, said in the statement. \u201cNow Google just takes content by force and uses it with no return, the definition of theft. The DOJ remedies must address this to prevent continued domination of the internet by one company.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This week, an internal document disclosed as part of Google\u2019s antitrust trial over its search dominance showed that the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/671711\/google-ai-overviews-search-publisher-data-choice\">decided against<\/a> asking publishers for permission to have their work included in its AI search features, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-05-19\/google-gave-sites-little-choice-in-using-data-for-ai-search\">as reported by <em>Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>.
