We’re in the midst of what Google CEO Sundar Pichai calls a disruptive moment. And it is. Google is literally shoving AI into everything – apparently driven by “stone cold panic” rather than a strategy that has the good of users in mind.

Speaking of disruption, have you searched on ChatGPT lately? If not, you may want to. I’m not saying ChatGPT has already launched a search product, but ChatGPT 4o is definitely searching sites for answers and citing them in answers.

Need help making sense of all the changes in AI and Search and what it all means for your strategy heading forward? Join us for SMX Advanced, June 11-12. Register here.
