Cloudflare chief executive Matthew Prince is lobbying the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority to impose stricter rules on Google’s use of its web crawler for both search and AI products. Prince argues that bundling the crawler gives Google an unfair advantage over other AI companies, forcing media sites to opt out of both search and AI content simultaneously. Cloudflare, which hosts many AI firms, is providing data to the CMA to support regulatory action and is promoting a more competitive market where AI providers would pay for content rather than rely on Google’s free access.

Google has expanded its Gemini‑powered AI Mode by integrating visual search features drawn from Google Lens and its Image Search technology. Users can now upload photos and ask conversational questions about the content, receiving related images, product details, and contextual information. The new system breaks images into objects, background, color and texture, runs multiple internal queries in parallel, and recombines results that best match user intent. By linking to the Google Shopping Graph, which indexes billions of products, the feature also delivers price, review and availability data for items depicted in photos. While the upgrade promises a more natural, image‑centric search experience, Google acknowledges potential misinterpretations, bias, and the risk that sites lacking optimized visuals may be underrepresented.
