Google is experimenting with AI-generated summaries for news articles within Google News, aiming to provide users with quick overviews of stories. This pilot program is running with select publications, and uses AI to create concise summaries directly on the Google News pages. The goal is to help readers efficiently grasp the main points of an article before deciding to read the full piece.
The summaries are designed to give a brief yet informative snapshot, potentially increasing user engagement with news content by reducing the time needed to assess relevance. Google will likely evaluate user interaction and feedback to refine the AI's summarisation capabilities.
If successful, this technology could become a standard feature, changing how users consume news on the platform and possibly influencing the broader news ecosystem.
