Sara Taher joins the EDGE team this week to have a focused discussion of AI and SEO in the news. From China's deep-sea AI shake-ups to Meta monetizing threads and Google's evolving search Quality Raters Guidelines, this week promises a feast of intriguing insights and digital dilemmas.
We unpack the repercussions of Deepseek—a Chinese AI marvel shaking Silicon Valley with its low-cost, high-performance delivery, and what that means for the global tech landscape. OpenAI's new operator agent takes automation to a new level, independently performing tasks on the web as Google's latest SERP experiments blur the lines between genuine and generated content.
Amid water-guzzling AI models and potential copyright conundrums, we question the future of internet search and ponder the implications of AI-altered reality. Can SEO maintain its footing in an AI-dominated world?
