Google announced the integration of ads into AI Overviews during the Google Marketing Live event on May 21.

Ads within AI Overviews will be clearly labeled with a "Sponsored" disclaimer. This label will be prominently displayed to ensure users are aware that the content is sponsored and related to their search queries. This approach is part of Google's commitment to transparency in its advertising practices within the AI Overviews feature6.
