How Google’s A.I. Search Is Imperiling the Open Web

Google now uses more artificial intelligence (A.I.) in its search engine. This means that when people look for information, Google often gives them answers directly. They do not need to click on other websites as much. This makes people stay on Google's own pages longer.

Many people who own websites are not happy about this. Their websites show information that Google uses. But if people do not visit their sites, these websites get less visitors. This means they cannot earn as much money from ads or other services.

This change is a big problem for the 'open web.' The open web is all the different websites you can visit. When Google keeps people on its platform, it can hurt these other websites. They worry that their business will suffer because of Google's new A.I. search features.
