Google said Oct. 15 it is updating AI Mode and AI Overviews to make links to source material clearer and more prominent. The company says it is placing inline links higher in responses more often, adding context about sources and giving timely news articles more visibility. Google also said it began testing clickable creator and publisher names on video results in AI Mode, linking to Search profiles. The changes matter because AI summaries can answer a query without requiring a reader to open the underlying pages; better signposting may make it easier to check where a claim came from. The announcement describes a rollout and tests, not a guarantee that every generated answer will contain complete or reliable citations.
