Google, under its parent company Alphabet, has expanded its AI-powered Search ads on a global scale amid a slowdown in its core advertising revenue growth. This strategic move aims to capitalize on emerging AI technologies to sustain revenue momentum.

According to TechCrunch, Alphabet reported a 25% year-over-year increase in revenue for the third quarter, reaching $127.6 billion. Despite this strong overall growth, the company is facing challenges in its traditional ad segments, prompting the push into AI-driven ad formats.

For Japanese investors and market watchers, Google's AI ad expansion reflects a broader trend of technology firms leveraging artificial intelligence to innovate revenue streams in a competitive digital advertising landscape.
