Google is undergoing a notable shift in its policy regarding its artificial intelligence service, Gemini. It has begun to gradually backtrack on its previous stance of completely rejecting the idea of integrating ads into the service, a position it had clearly affirmed just a few months ago.
During the recent earnings call, a senior company executive indirectly indicated that Google is becoming more open to the idea of integrating ads into the Gemini application, especially if the ad models prove successful in AI-powered search services. Observers considered this statement a clear indication of a gradual shift in the company's strategy, even if it wasn't explicitly announced.
