The story so far

Google has been building AI Mode, its conversational search experience, more deeply into its advertising business. On 2026-10-23, the company updated its terms to say it may use data from Gmail, Google Photos and Drive to personalize ads. That applies only if users choose to make the data available to other Google services that support personalized ads. The change affects people who have linked those services to AI Mode and other Search tools through the Personal Intelligence feature, which lets the tools tailor answers by drawing on more information about the user.

On 2026-10-29, Google said it is expanding ads in AI Mode to Australia, Canada, India, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Singapore. The same day, Alphabet shares fell by almost 10 percent after Google acknowledged that searches in AI Mode earn less than searches served with traditional ads. The weaker returns come as the company spends heavily on infrastructure.
