AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

As search increasingly shifts toward LLM-driven answer engines, advertising is becoming embedded within the generated response itself and should therefore be evaluated for both user utility and commercial value. The key challenge is click-through intent: behavioural logs are unavailable, human annotation resists...

Understanding how to effectively evaluate and price ads in AI-generated search responses is crucial for balancing user experience with commercial interests. Addressing these challenges will impact the future monetization and design of AI-powered search engines.
