Personal Intelligence experiences stay ad-free for now while Google works out the right balance.<\/p> <p><strong>What Google is saying. <\/strong>A Google spokesperson told Search Engine Land: <\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>\u201cThere are currently no ads for people who choose to connect their apps with AI Mode. That isn\u2019t changing right now.<\/li> <li>\u201cOver the past few months, we\u2019ve been testing ads in AI Mode in the US. Our tests have shown that people find these connections to businesses helpful and open up new opportunities to discover products and services. <\/li> <li>\u201cIn the future, we anticipate that ads will operate similarly for people who choose to connect their apps with AI Mode. Ads will continue to be relevant to things like your query, the context of the response and your interests.\u201d<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>Bottom line<\/strong>.
