Google Updates Search with More Obvious Links in AI-Powered Features

Google has made changes to its search results, adding a new feature that displays links more prominently inside its AI-powered features. The update, announced by vice president of Google Search Robby Stein, now includes a list of links that appear as pop-ups when users hover over sources in AI Overviews and AI Mode on desktop devices. These links are accompanied by descriptions of the linked articles and images, making it easier for users to access relevant content. The updated user interface is designed to be more engaging, according to Stein, who notes that testing has shown a positive response from users. The new feature will also display more descriptive link icons in AI responses on both desktop and mobile devices, providing users with an improved way to navigate the web.
