Google has launched the Google Trends API, enabling developers to access and utilize Trends data in a scalable manner. The API offers consistently scaled search interest data, time range options, and geographical breakdowns, facilitating research, publishing, and marketing strategies. An alpha testing phase is open for developers to apply for early access.
Research indicates that Google’s AI Overviews tend to cite AI-generated content more frequently than human-written content, with 87.8% of cited pages being at least AI-assisted. The study reveals a growing bias towards AI content in Google's citations, reflecting a broader trend in which a significant portion of new webpages incorporate AI-generated content. This phenomenon suggests an emerging ecosystem where AI-generated and AI-assisted content is increasingly prevalent.
