Google is rolling out its AI-powered search feature, AI Overviews, to more than 100 countries and says it will reach more than one billion monthly users worldwide. The AI summaries are now available in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish, regardless of the user's location. Google says it has also improved the way users access source links: Desktop users now see links more prominently on the right-hand side of the screen, while mobile users can access them via icons in the top right-hand corner. The company has also added direct links within the AI summary text itself. The search giant promises that all ads in these AI-generated summaries will be clearly labelled. The feature remains unavailable across the EU region.

Apple has started beta testing its new AI software suite, Apple Intelligence, with users in the United States. The company plans to expand these features to other English-speaking markets in December, followed by European Union users in April 2025. The initial release includes writing assistance features, an AI-powered emoji creator called Genmoji, an enhanced version of Siri with ChatGPT integration, and automatic email summary capabilities. EU users can already access some early features on Macs running MacOS Sequoia 15.1 if their system language is set to US English. To get started, go to Settings, tap or click Apple Intelligence & Siri, and then tap or click Join Apple Intelligence Waitlist. According to Apple, Apple Intelligence should be available for activation within a few hours of joining the waitlist, "though wait times can vary."
