Google’s AI Mode Gets Ad Makeover

What's the story:

Google is testing ads in its AI-powered search results, placing them below or inside AI-generated answers—starting with U.S. users on desktop and mobile.

Key Takeaways:

• Ads will show up in AI Mode (Google’s chatbot-like search) when "relevant," like suggesting website builders for business queries.

• Advertisers using Google’s Performance Max, Shopping, or Search tools can participate.

• 36% of U.S. adults are skeptical about AI in ads, per a CivicScience poll.

• Rivals like Perplexity and Microsoft have also dabbled in AI ads.

• Google’s AI Overviews (summarized answers) will also show more ads, labeled as "Sponsored."

Why It’s Important:

Ads fuel Google’s profits ($66B last quarter!), but stuffing them into AI search risks annoying users and hurting publishers who rely on ad revenue.

UAE Bets Big on AI Future

What's the story: 

The UAE just dropped Falcon Arabic, a powerful AI model that rivals giants like Meta—despite being way smaller—plus a compact Falcon H1 that beats competitors. It’s all part of the Gulf’s plan to dominate AI!

Key Takeaways: 

• Falcon Arabic handles Modern + dialect Arabic—a big deal for regional tech.

• Performs like models 10x its size, claims TII (Abu Dhabi’s tech lab).

• Falcon H1 outpaces rivals (Meta, Alibaba) in its weight class.

• But… it’s fallen off Hugging Face’s top 500—global competition is fierce.

• UAE’s backing it up with 5-gigawatt data centers and Nvidia collabs.

Why It Matters:

The UAE’s betting big on AI sovereignty—proving you don’t need Silicon Valley to compete. If Falcon soars, it could reshape Middle Eastern tech and global AI race dynamics.
