Google Blocks Record Number of Ads in 2025 Using AI
Google blocked a record 8.3 billion ads globally in 2025, attributed to increased use of AI, particularly its Gemini models, which detect and block policy-violating ads more effectively. The company suspended fewer advertiser accounts despite the rise in blocked ads, indicating a shift in enforcement strategy. This change reflects a broader integration of AI into Google's advertising infrastructure.
