Google is testing ads in its AI Mode searches, placing them at the bottom of results. This change is part of ongoing experiments and doesn’t currently allow users to hide these sponsored results. Organic links are still prioritized above the ads.

Google has promoted its latest AI search product, "AI Mode," through its homepage Doodle, highlighting its commitment to integrating AI features amidst competition from startups like OpenAI. AI Mode, powered by Google's Gemini model, allows users to interact through text, voice, or images for complex queries, streamlining the search experience. The feature has been gradually rolled out to more U.S. users since its introduction.
