Google is expanding advertising in its AI-powered Search internationally. The company announced the move during Alphabet’s latest earnings call, as it seeks to generate more revenue from AI-generated answers and conversational searches. The expansion comes as Search advertising growth slows, even though Google says its AI features are encouraging people to search more frequently and ask longer questions.
“In fact, our year-over-year query growth rate is the highest it’s been in the last five years,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in the company’s earnings release. He did not disclose the exact growth rate.
