Google's stock fell to a six-month low, wiping roughly $500 billion off its market value, after the company revealed that its AI-generated search summaries are hurting advertising revenue. Investors took the disclosure as a sign that the shift to AI search may undermine the core ad business that funds the company. The plunge has intensified debate over whether AI features will ultimately help or harm big tech's bottom line.
Why now: Google's disclosure that AI search summaries are reducing ad revenue triggered a sharp sell-off, raising doubts about the business model of a major tech giant.
