LONDON: Google has rolled out its AI Mode feature in Google Search to 36 new languages, including Modern Standard Arabic, reaching over 200 countries and territories.

Powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5 model, AI Mode offers users advanced reasoning, multimodal search, and the ability to explore topics in depth using follow-up questions and contextual links.

The tool builds on Google’s AI Overviews — the company’s existing artificial intelligence feature at the top part of Google Search results — and allows users to submit questions via text, voice, or images.

“When people use AI Mode to search for a topic, our systems aim to surface relevant links, including news pages, and connect people with a breadth of content and perspectives from across the web, on a wide range of queries,” Najeeb Jarrar, Google’s regional product and marketing director for the Middle East and Africa, said in a statement to Arab News.

“We aim to show an AI-powered response as much as possible, but in cases where we don’t have high confidence, you will see a set of web search results.”
