San Francisco: (RightNow) Google announces changes to its AI-based search results. Under the new policy, website and news links will be more prominently displayed.

According to news agencies, this move aims to address concerns over declining website traffic. Google’s new policy will display links more frequently and in prominent positions.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai states that over 2 billion monthly users will benefit from this change. The company hopes this will help users access deeper information.

This change follows complaints from media outlets and brands. According to Chartbeat, traffic from Google to news websites had decreased by 40%.
