"The Commission also takes note of Google's proposals on how it plans to apply the principles of the decision to AI Overviews and AI Mode, on which dialogue will continue in light of today's decision"  

This is broadly the direction anticipated here (no crystal ball, just common sense). The Commission has now placed AI Overviews and AI Mode explicitly within the Article 6(5) dialogue. It should move quickly. Google is already deploying these services through Search, and the underlying distribution issue is sufficiently clear. A specification proceeding would provide a timely opportunity to define the conditions governing their integration, prominence and access to users. The dialogue on this topic is already well underway, as the press release notes; allowing it to remain informal would merely give the architecture more time to harden.
