ChatGPT leans on news sites more than any other major AI platform, in both the UK and the US, Semrush said on Tuesday. From January to July, news took a bigger share of ChatGPT’s cited sources every month. Gemini, Google’s AI Mode and AI Overviews all trailed it. The pull is stronger in the UK. News and information sites took 29.5% of citations among ChatGPT’s 100 most-cited UK domains, on average. In the US, the figure was 19.6%. Semrush, which Adobe owns, sells tools that track how brands appear in AI answers. For the 2026 AI Visibility Index, it ran 2.5 million UK prompts and 25 million US prompts each month. It used ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Mode. It added Google AI Overviews results for real search keywords.
