Google search ecosystem shifts as AI mode fuels reality of open web decline after 1 year

It has been a year since Google introduced AI Mode, a natural-language AI search feature that provides conversational answers instead of links. Research cited by The New York Times showed users spend 1 to 9 minutes longer in AI Mode than in traditional search, and about 75 percent of sessions do not lead to other websites. Publishers, companies and banks worry traffic is falling. Google rejects claims it threatens the open web and says it still sends billions of clicks outward.

They estimated about $1.28 million shifted from general traders to manipulation participants in the sample period. Extending the contract duration to 15 minutes largely removed the effect, they said.
