Google is following Facebook and Snapchat into the Stories sector, and will use AI to create and curate content that will appear in search and image results. A company blog post said the Stories feature will initially focus on celebrities and other notable people before expanding to other subjects, while human moderators will backstop the AI against any errors. Google has no immediate plans to insert ads into its Stories, a move that's had limited results for Facebook, and will reveal more in the coming months. Instagram Stories has 450 million daily users.
