At its annual developer conference, Google announced major AI upgrades to its core products, including making AI Mode the default in Search, marking the biggest update in over 25 years. Google also introduced Spark, a 24/7 AI assistant integrated across its apps, initially available to Google Ultra subscribers with a new $100 monthly tier. Despite growing AI adoption with billions of users, Google faces resistance from Gen Z, who show declining enthusiasm and skepticism toward AI, posing challenges for wider acceptance. Google must continue pushing AI to maintain its lead in the tech industry amid mixed public sentiment.
