Google has expanded its AI Mode feature in Search to 36 new languages, including Modern Standard Arabic, now reaching users in over 200 countries and territories. This update enables people to submit questions via text, voice, or images, and receive advanced, context-rich responses powered by Google's latest artificial intelligence model. The feature aims to provide users with in-depth information, relevant links, and diverse perspectives, while also changing how people interact with search by encouraging longer, more complex queries.

Despite its benefits, the rollout has sparked debate among experts, who warn that AI-driven search may reduce traffic to original websites by offering direct answers. Some studies suggest significant drops in website visits, though Google maintains that the new approach leads to more queries and higher quality engagement. The company plans to continue enhancing AI Mode and further integrate it into the main Search experience.
