Google AI Overviews (AIO) is all out on its big international expansion. AIO aims to provide users with concise answers to complex questions, using artificial intelligence.
However, early on, AIO struggled with accuracy, presenting incorrect information. Google is working on making AIO better, and now it's rolling out to six new countries.
What’s new?
Google is tweaking how AIO presents links to relevant source material. Instead of bulky boxes, AIO will display a link icon or classic inline links.
This change aims to increase user engagement with external resources. Additionally, Search Labs testers can now save AIO results and request simpler versions.
Google's AI Overviews availability
AIO will become available in the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil over the next few weeks.

Google is taking a cautious approach, ensuring that users don't encounter the same issues that plagued AIO's US debut.
Moreover, Google has been working to limit AIO's sources to high-quality websites and publications. This change aims to reduce the spread of misinformation and ensure that users receive accurate answers.
Additionally, Google is investing in human evaluation and feedback mechanisms to further improve AIO's performance.
As AIO expands globally, users can expect to see more concise and accurate answers to their search queries.
