People around the world are using AI more than Americans, a new poll finds. About 40% of adults in the U.S. told pollsters that they used generative AI in the last year. In Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, and India, that number was about 85%. What's driving the divide? But first: a preview of markets before President Donald Trump's speech at Davos, and a look at the struggle between the Trump administration and the Fed.

Synopsis:  A leading voice in feminist philosophy, Donna Haraway joins Laura for an incisive discussion on challenging patriarchal norms and cultivating a more inclusive understanding of humanity, one that prioritizes accountability and empathy in an increasingly complex world.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.”“An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna HarawayGuest:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the ChthuluceneWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about surveys and processing survey data. Now, this is something that we’ve talked about. Gosh, I think since the founding of the company, we’ve been doing surveys of some kind. And Katie, you and I have been running surveys of some form since we started working together 11 years ago because something that the old PR agency used to do a ton of—not necessarily well, but they used to do it well. Katie Robbert: When they asked us to participate, it would go well. Christopher S. Penn: Yes, exactly. Christopher S. Penn: And this week we’re talking about how do you approach survey analysis in the age of generative AI where it is everywhere now. And so this morning you discovered something completely new and different. Katie Robbert: Well, I mean, I discovered it via you, so credit where credit is due. But for those who don’t know, we have been a little delinquent in getting it out. But we typically run a one-question survey every quarter that just, it helps us get a good understanding of where our audience is, where people’s heads are at. Because the worst thing you can possibly do as business owners, as marketers, as professionals, is make assumptions about what people want. And that’s something that Chris and I work very hard to make sure we’re not doing. And so one of the best ways to do that is just to ask people. We’re a small company, so we don’t have the resources unfortunately to hold a lot of one-on-one meetings. But what we can do is ask questions virtually. And that’s what we did. So we put out a one-question survey. And in the survey, the question was around if you could pick a topic to deep dive on in 2026 to learn about, what would it be. Now keep in mind, I didn’t say about AI or about marketing because that’s where—and Chris was sort of alluding to—surveys go wrong. When we worked at the old shop, the problem was that people would present us with, “and this is the headline that my client wants to promote.” So how do we run a survey around it? Without going too far in the weeds, that’s called bias, and that’s bad. Bias equals bad. You don’t want to lead with what you want people to respond with. All of that being said, we’ve gotten almost 400 responses over the weekend, which is a fantastic number of responses. That gives us a lot of data to work with. But now we have to do something with it. What Chris discovered and then shared with me, which I’m very excited about, is you don’t have to code anything to do this. There were and there still are a lot of data analysis platforms for market research data, which is essentially what this is for: unstructured, qualitative, sentence structured data, which is really hard to work with if you don’t know what you’re looking for. And the more you have of it, the harder it is to figure out where the trends are. But now people are probably thinking, “oh, I just bring it into generative AI and say, summarize this for me.” Well, that’s not good enough. First of all, let’s just don’t do that. But there are ways to do it, no code, that you can really work with the data. So without further ado, Chris, do you want to talk about what you’ve been working on this morning? And we’re going to do a deep dive on our livestream on Thursday, which you can join us every Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern. Go to Trust Insights AI TI podcast. Nope, that’s us today. Wait a second. TrustInsights AI YouTube, and you can follow live or catch the replay. And we’ll do a deep dive into how this works, both low code and high tech. But I think it’s worth at least acknowledging, Chris, what you have discovered this morning, and then we can sort of talk about some of the findings that we’re getting. Christopher S. Penn: So one of the most useful things that AI companies have done in the last 6 months is put generative AI into the tools that we already use. So Google has done this. They’ve put Gemini in Google Sheets, Google Docs, in your Gmail. Finally, by the way—slight tangent. They finally put it in Google Analytics. Three years later. Microsoft has put Copilot into all these different places as well. In Excel, in Word, in PowerPoint, and so on and so forth. And so what you can do inside of these tools is they now have formulas that essentially invoke an AI agent. So inside of Google Sheets you can type equals Gemini, then give it a prompt and then give it a cell to work on and have it do its thing. Christopher S. Penn: So what I did naturally was to say, “Okay, let’s write a prompt to do topic analysis.” “Okay, here’s 7 different topics you can choose from.” Gemini, tell me for this cell, this one survey response, which of the 7 topics does it fit in? And then it returns just the topic name and puts it in that cell. And so what used to be a very laborious hand coding—”okay, this is about this”—now you can just drag and fill the column and you’ve got all 400 responses classified. You can do sentiment analysis, you can do all sorts of stuff. Katie Robbert: I remember a quick anecdote, and I think I’ve told this story before. When I was doing clinical trial research, we were trying to develop an automated system to categorize sentiment for online posts about the use and abuse of opiates and stimulants. So, is it a positive sentiment? Is it a negative sentiment? With the goal of trying to understand the trends of, “oh, this is a pharmaceutical that just hit the market. People love it. The sentiment is super positive in the wrong places.” Therefore, it’s something that we should keep an eye on. All to say, I remember sitting there with stacks and stacks of printed out online conversation hand coding. One positive, two negative. And it’s completely subjective because we had to have 4 or 5 different hand coders doing the sentiment analysis over and over again until we came to agreement, and then we could start to build the computer program. So to see that you did this all in the span of maybe 20 minutes this morning is just—it’s mind blowing to me. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. And the best part is you just have to be able to write good prompts. Katie Robbert: Well, therein lies the caveat. And I think that this is worth repeating. Critical thinking is something that AI is not going to do for you. You still have to think about what it is you want. Giving a spreadsheet to AI and saying, “summarize this,” you’re going to get crappy results. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. So, and we’ll show this on the live stream. We’re going to walk through the steps on how do you build this? Very simple, no tech way of doing it, but at the very least, one of the things you’ll want to do. And we’ve done this. In fact, we did this not too long ago for an enterprise client building a sentiment analysis system: you have to have a known, good starting data set of stuff that has been coded that you agree with. And it can be 3 or 4 or 5 things, but ideally you start with that. So you can say, this is examples of what good and bad sentiment is, or positive and negative, or what the topic is. Write a prompt to essentially get these same results. It’s what the tech folks would call back testing, just calibration, saying, “This is a note, it still says, ‘I hate Justin Zeitzac, man, all this and stuff.’ Okay, that’s a minus 5.” What do they hate us as a company? Oh, okay. “That annoying Korean guy,” minus 5. So you’d want to do that stuff too. So that’s the mechanics of getting into this. Now, one of the things that I think we wanted to chat about was kind of at a very high level, what we saw. Katie Robbert: Yeah. Christopher S. Penn: So when we put all the big stuff into the big version of Gemini to try and get a sense of what are the big topics, really, 6 different topics popped out: Generative AI, broadly, of course; people wanting to learn about agentic AI; content marketing; attribution and analytics; use cases in general; and best practices in general. Although, of course, a lot of those had overlap with the AI portion. And when we look at the numbers, the number one topic by a very large margin is agentic AI. People want to know, what do we do with this thing, these things? How do we get them going? What is it even? And one of the things I think is worth pointing out is having Gemini in your spreadsheet, by definition, is kind of an agent in the sense that you don’t have to go back to an AI system and say, “I’ll do this.” Then copy-paste results back and forth. It’s right there as a utility. Katie Robbert: And I think that I’m not surprised by the results that we’re seeing. I assumed that there would be a lot of questions around agentic AI, generative AI in general. What I am happy to see is that it’s not all AI, that there is still a place for non-AI. So, one of the questions was what to measure and why, which to be fair, is very broad. But you can make assumptions that since they’re asking us, it’s around digital marketing or business operations. I think that there’s one of the things that we try to ask in our free Slack group, Analytics for Marketers, which you can join for free at trustinsights.ai/analyticsformarketers. We chatting in there every day is to make sure that we have a good blend of AI-related questions, but also non-AI-related questions because there is still a lot of work being done without AI, or AI is part of the platform, but it’s not the reason you’re doing it. We know that most of these tools at this day and age include AI, but people still need to know the fundamentals of how do I build KPIs, what do I need to measure, how do I manage my team, how do I put together a content calendar based on what people want. You can use AI as a supporting role, but it’s not AI forward. Christopher S. Penn: And I think the breakout, it’s about, if you just do back of the envelope, it’s about 70/30. 70% of the responses we got really were about AI in some fashion, either regular or agentic. And the 30% was in the other category. And that kind of fits nicely to the two themes that we’ve had. Last year’s theme was rooted, and this year’s theme is growth. So the rooted is that 30% of how do we just get basic stuff done? And the 70% is the growth. To say, this is where things are and are likely going. How do we grow to meet those challenges? That’s what our audience is asking of us. That’s what you folks listening are saying is, we recognize this is the growth opportunity. How do we take advantage of it? Katie Robbert: And so if we just look at all of these questions, it feels daunting to me, anyway. I don’t know about you, Chris—you don’t really get phased by much—but I feel a little overwhelmed: “Wow, do you really know the answers to all of these questions?” And the answer is yes, which is also a little overwhelming. Oh wait, when did that happen? But yeah, if you’re going to take the time to ask people what they’re thinking, you then have to take the time to respond and acknowledge what they’ve asked. And so our—basically our mandate—is to now do something with all of this information, which we’re going to figure out. It’s going to be a combination of a few things. But Chris, if you had your druthers, which you don’t, but if you did. Where would you start with answering some of these questions? Christopher S. Penn: What if I had my druthers? I would put. Take the entire data set one piece at a time and take the conclusion, the analysis that we’ve done, and put it into Claude Code with 4 different agents, which is actually something I did with my own newsletter this past weekend. I’d have a revenue agent saying, “How can we make some money?” I’d have a voice of the customer agent based on our ICP saying, “Hey, you gotta listen to the customer. This is what we’re saying. This is literally what we said. You gotta listen to us.” “Hey, your revenue agent, you can’t monetize everything. I’m not gonna pay for everything.” You would have a finance and operations agent to say, “Hey, let’s. What can we do?” “Here’s the limitations.” “We’re only this many people. We only have this much time in the day. We can’t do everything.” “We gotta pick the things that make sense.” And then I would have the Co-CEO agent (by virtual Katie) as the overseer and the orchestrator to say, “Okay, Revenue Agent, Customer Agent, Operations Agent, you guys tell me, and I’m going to make some executive decisions as to what makes the most sense for the company based on the imperatives.” I would essentially let them duke it out for about 20 minutes in Claude Code, sort of arguing with each other, and eventually come back with a strategy, tactics, execution, and measurement plan—which are the 4 pieces that the Co-CEO agent would generate—to say, “Okay, out of these hundreds of survey responses, we know agentic AI is the thing.” “We know these are the kinds of questions people are asking.” “We know what capabilities we have, we know limitations we have.” “Here’s the plan,” or perhaps, because it’s programmed after you, “Here’s 3 plans: the lowest possible, highest possible, middle ground.” And then we as the humans can look at it and go, “All right, let’s take some of what’s in this plan and most of what’s in this plan, merge that together, and now we have our plan for this content.” Because I did that this weekend with my newsletter, and all 4 of the agents were like, “Dude, you are completely missing all the opportunities. You could be making this a million-dollar business, and you are just ignoring it completely.” Yeah, Co-CEO was really harsh. She was like, “Dude, you are missing the boat here.” Katie Robbert: I need to get my avatar for the Co-CEO with my one eyebrow. Thanks, Dad. That’s a genetic thing. I mean, that’s what I do. Well, so first of all, I read your newsletter, and I thought that was a very interesting thing, which I’m very interested to see. I would like you to take this data and follow that same process. I’m guessing maybe you already have or are in the process of it in the background. But I think that when we talk about low tech and high tech, I think that this is really sort of what we’re after. So the lower tech version—for those who don’t want to build code, for those who don’t want to have to open up Python or even learn what it is—you can get really far without having to do that. And again, we’ll show you exactly the steps on the live stream on Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern to do that. But then you actually have to do something with it, and that’s building a plan. And Chris, to your point, you’ve created synthetic versions of basically my brain and your brain and John’s brain and said, “Let’s put a plan together.” Or if you don’t have access to do that, believe it or not, humans still exist. And you can just say, “Hey Katie, we have all this stuff. People want to get answers to these questions based on what we know about our growth plans and the business models and all of those things. Where should we start?” And then we would have a real conversation about it and put together a plan. Because there’s so much data on me, so much data on you and John, etc., I feel confident—because I’ve helped build the Co-CEO—I feel confident that whatever we get back is going to be pretty close to what we as the humans would say. But we still want that human intervention. We would never just go, “Okay, that’s the plan, execute it.” We would still go, “Well, what the machines don’t know is what’s happening in parallel over here.” “So it’s missing that context.” “So let’s factor that in.” And so I’m really excited about all of it. I think that this is such a good use of the technology because it’s not replacing the human critical thinking—it’s just pattern matching for us so that we can do the critical thinking. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. And the key really is for that advanced use case of using multiple agents for that scenario, the agents themselves really do have to be rock solid. So you built the ideal customer profile for the almost all the time in the newsletter. You built… Yeah, the Co-CEO. We’ve enhanced it over time, but it is rooted in who you are. So when it makes those recommendations and says those things, there was one point where it was saying, “Stop with heroics. Just develop a system and follow the system.” Huh, that sounds an awful lot. Katie Robbert: I mean, yeah, I can totally see. I can picture a few instances where that phrase would actually come out of my mouth. Christopher S. Penn: Yep, exactly. Christopher S. Penn: So that’s what we would probably do with this is take that data, put it through the smartest models we have access to with good prompts, with good data. And then, as you said, build some plans and start doing the thing. Because if you don’t do it, then you just made decorations for your office, which is not good. Katie Robbert: I think all too often that’s what a lot of companies find themselves in that position because analyzing qualitative data is not easy. There’s a reason: it’s a whole profession, it’s a whole skill set. You can’t just collect a bunch of feedback and go, “Okay, so we know what.” You need to actually figure out a process for pulling out the real insights. It’s voice of customer data. It’s literally, you’re asking your customers, “What do you want?” But then you need to do it. The number one mistake that companies make by collecting voice of customer data is not doing anything with it. Number 2 is then not going back to the customer and acknowledging it and saying, “We heard you.” “Here’s now what we’re going to do.” Because people take the time to respond to these things, and I would say 99% of the responses are thoughtful and useful and valuable. You’re always going to get a couple of trolls, and that’s normal. But then you want to actually get back to people, “I heard you.” Your voice is valuable because you’re building that trust, which is something machines can’t do. You’re building that human trust in those relationships so that when you go back to that person who gave you that feedback and said, “I heard you, I’m doing something with it.” “Here’s an acknowledgment.” “Here’s the answer.” “Here’s whatever it is.” Guess what? Think about your customer buyer’s journey. You’re building those loyalists and then eventually those evangelists. I’m sort of going on a tangent. I’m very tangential today. A lot of companies stop at the transactional purchase, but you need to continue. If you want that cycle to keep going and have people come back or to advocate on your behalf, you need to actually give them a reason to do that. And this is a great opportunity to build those loyalists and those evangelists of your brand, of your services, of your company, of whatever it is you’re doing by just showing up and acknowledging, “Hey, I heard you, I see you.” “Thank you for the feedback.” “We’re going to do something with it.” “Hey, here’s a little token of appreciation,” or “Here’s answer to your question.” It doesn’t take a lot. Our good friend Brook Sellis talks about this when she’s talking about the number one mistake brands make in online social conversations is not responding to comments. Yeah, doesn’t take a lot. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. Doesn’t cost anything either. Katie Robbert: No. I am very tangential today. That’s all right. I’m trying not to lose the plot. Christopher S. Penn: Well, the plot is: We’ve got the survey data. We now need to do something about it. And the people have spoken, to the extent that you can make that claim, that Agentic AI and AI agents is the thing that they want to learn the most about. And if you have some thoughts about this, if you agree or disagree and you want to let us know, pop on by our free Slack, come on over to Trust Insights AI/analytics for marketers. I think we’re probably gonna have some questions about the specifics of agentic AI—what kinds of agents? I think it’s worth pointing out that, and we’ve covered this in the past on the podcast, there are multiple different kinds of AI agents. There’s everything from what are essentially GPTs, because Microsoft Copilot calls Copilot GPTs Copilot agents, which is annoying. There are chatbots and virtual customer service agents. And then there’s the agentic AI of, “this machine is just going to go off and do this thing without you.” Do you want it to do that? And so we’ll want to probably dig into the survey responses more and figure out which of those broad categories of agents do people want the most of, and then from there start making stuff. So you’ll see things in our, probably, our learning management system. You’ll definitely see things at the events that folks bring us in to speak at. And yeah, and hopefully there’ll be some things that as we build, we’ll be like, “Oh, we should probably do this ourselves.” Katie Robbert: But it’s why we ask. It’s too easy to get stuck in your own bubble and not look outside of what you’re doing. If you are making decisions on behalf of your customers of what you think they want, you’re doing it wrong. Do something else. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, exactly. So pop on by to our free Slack.

In 2025, we saw greater adoption of generative artificial intelligence tools across all areas of the legal industry. Will 2026 bring more of the same? Or will there be a backlash or reaction of some sort? What about the regulatory landscape for AI? Will 2026 bring federal guidelines, or will we have to wait for 2027 or beyond?

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In-Ear Insights. Welcome back. Happy new year. It’s 2026. I have just begun to realize as I was cleaning out my pantry over the holidays, oh yeah, all these things expire in 2026. That’s this year. A lot happened over the holidays. A lot of changes in AI. But one thing that hasn’t happened yet but has been in discussion that I think is—Katie, you wanted to talk about—was SEO for good or ill, sort of centered on this GEO acronym, Generative Engine Optimization, and all of its brethren: AIO and AEO and whatever. SEO’s companion has always been SEM, also known as Pay Per Click marketing, and that has its alphabet soup like rlsa, remarketing lists for search ads, and all these acronyms, part of the paid version of search marketing. Well, Katie, you asked a very relevant… Katie Robbert: …question, which was, when is GEM coming? So as a little plug, I’m doing a Friday session with our good friends over at Marketing Profs on GEO and ROI, which I have to practice saying over and over again so I don’t stumble over it. But basically the idea is what can B2B marketers measure in GEO to demonstrate their return on investment so that they can argue for more budget. And so what we were talking about this morning is that GEO is really just an amped up version of brand search. If you know SEO, brand search is a part of SEO. And so basically it’s like how well recognized is my brand or my influencers or whatever. If I type in Katie Robbert or if I type in Trust Insights, what comes back? And so all of the same tactics that you do for branded search, you do for GEO plus a little bit more. So it’s the same end result, but you need to figure out sort of where all of that fits. So I’ll go over all of that. But it then naturally progressed into the conversation of, well, part of brand search is paid campaigns. You pay money to Google AdWords, if that’s still what it’s called, or whatever ad system you’re using, you put money behind your branded terms so that when someone’s looking for certain things, your name comes up. And I was like, well, that’s the SEM version of SEO. When are we getting the paid version of GEO? So basically GEM, or whatever you would want to call it, the way that I kind of envision it. So right now these systems like ChatGPT and Gemini and Claude, they’re not running ads. They’re making their money from usage. So they’re using tokens, which Chris, you’ve talked about extensively. But I can envision a world where they’re like, okay, here’s the free version of this. But every other query that you run, you get an ad for something, or at the end of every result, you get an ad for something. And so I would not be surprised if that was coming. So that was sort of what I was wondering, what I was thinking. I’m not trying to plant the idea that they should do that. I’m just assuming based on patterns of how these companies operate, they’re looking for the next way to make a revenue stream. So Chris, when I mentioned this to you this morning, I couldn’t see your face, but I assumed that there was an eye roll. So what are your thoughts on GEM? Christopher S. Penn: Here’s what we know. We know that on the back end for all these tools, what they’re doing when they use their web search tools is they’re writing their own web queries. They literally kick off their own web searches, and they do 5, 10, 20, or 100 different searches. This is something that Google calls query fan out. You can actually see this happening behind the scenes. When you use Google, you’ll see it list out summarized in Gemini, for example. You’ll see it in ChatGPT with its sources and stuff. We know—and if you’re using tools like Claude code or Gemini code—you will actually see the searches themselves. It is a very small leap of the imagination to say, okay, what’s really happening is the LLM is just doing searches, which means that the infrastructure exists—which it does for Google Ads—to say, when somebody searches for this set of keywords, show this ad. The difference is that AI searches tend to be eight to 10 words long. When you look at how Claude code does searches, it will say “docker configuration YAML file 2025” as an example of a very long term, or “best hotels under $1,000 Ibiza 2025 travel guide” would be an example of a more generic term that is a very specific, high-intent search phrase that it’s typing in. So for a system like Google to say, “You know what, inside of your search results, when it does query fan out, we’re just going to send a copy of the searches to our existing Google Ad system, and it’s going to spit back, ‘Hey, here’s some ads to go with your AI generated summary.'” I would say initially for marketers, you have to be thinking about how Gemini in particular does query fan out, how it does its own searches. We actually built a tool for this last year for ourselves that can measure how Gemini just does its own searches. We have not published because it’s still got a bunch of rough edges. But once you see those query fan out actions being taken, if you’re a Google Ads person, you can start going, “Huh? I think I need to start making sure my Google Ads have those longer, more detailed, more specific phrases.” Not necessarily because I think any human is going to search for them, but because that’s the way AI is going to search them. I think if you are using systems like ChatGPT, you should be—to the extent that you can, because you can see this in the developer API, not the consumer product, but the developer side on OpenAI’s platform—you can see what it searches for. You should be making notes on that and maybe even going so far as to say, “I’m going to type in, ‘recommend a Boston based AI consulting firm.'” See what ChatGPT does for its searches. And then if you’re the Google Ads manager, guess you better be running those ads. And probably Bing, probably Google. OpenAI said they’re going to build their own ad system—they probably will. But as many folks, including Will Reynolds and Rand Fishkin, have all said, Google still owns 95% of the search market. So if you’re going to put your bets anywhere, bet on the Google Ads system and put your efforts there. Katie Robbert: So it sounds like my theory wasn’t so far fetched this morning to assume that GEM is coming. Christopher S. Penn: Absolutely it’s coming. I mean, everyone and their cousin is burning money running AI, right? It costs so much to do inference. Even Google itself. Yes, they have their own hardware, yes, they have their own data centers and stuff. It still costs them resources to run Gemini, and they have new versions of Gemini out that came out just before the holidays, but still not cheap, and they have to monetize it. And the easiest way to monetize it is to not reinvent the wheel and just tie Gemini’s self-generated searches into Google Ads. Katie Robbert: So, I think one of the questions that people have is, well, do we know what people are searching for? And you mentioned for at least OpenAI, you can see in the developer console what the system searches for, but that’s not what people are searching for. Where do tools like Google Search Console fit in? For someone who doesn’t have the ability to tap into a developer API, could they use something like a Google Search Console as a proxy to at least start refining? I mean, they should be doing this anyway. But for generative AI, for what people are searching for? Because the reason I’m thinking of it is because what the system searches for is not what the person searches for. We still want to be tackling at least 50% of what the person searches for, and then we can start to make assumptions about what the system is going to be searching for. So where does a tool like Google Search Console fit in? Christopher S. Penn: The challenge with the tool, Google Search Console, is that it is reporting on what people type before Gemini rewrites it. So, I would say you could use that in combination with Gemini’s API to say, okay, how would Gemini transform this into a query fan out? Katie Robbert: But that’s my point: what if someone—a small business or just a marketing team that is siloed off from IT—doesn’t have access to tap into the API? Christopher S. Penn: Hire Trust Insights. Katie Robbert: Fair. If you want to do that, you can go to TrustInsights.ai/contact. But in all seriousness, I think we need to be making sure we’re educating appropriately. So yes, obviously the path of least resistance is to tap in the API to see what the system is doing. If that’s not accessible—because it is not accessible to everybody—what can they be doing? Christopher S. Penn: That’s really—it’s a challenging question. I’m not trying to be squirrely on purpose, but knowing how the AI overviews work, Gemini in Google is intercepting the user’s intent and trying to figure out what is the likely intent behind the query. So when you go into your Google search now, you will see a couple of quick results, which is what your Google Search Console will report on. And then you’re going to see all of the AI stuff, and that is the stuff that is much more difficult to predict. So as a very simple example, let me just go ahead and share my screen. For folks who are listening, you can catch us on our YouTube channel at trustinsights.ai/youtube. So I typed in “Python synth ID code,” right, which is a reference to something coding-wise. You can see, here’s the initial search term; this will show up in your Google Search Console. If the user clicks one of the two quick results, then once you get into webguide here, now this is all summarized. This is all written by Gemini. So none of this here is going to show up in Google Search Console. What happened between here and here is that Gemini went and did 80 to 100 different searches to assemble this very nice handy guide, which is completely rewritten. This is not what the original pages say. This is none of the content from these sites. It is what Gemini pulled from and generated on its own. Katie Robbert: So let me ask you this question, and this might be a little kooky, so follow me for a second. So let’s say I don’t have access to the API, so I can’t pull what the system is searching, but I do have access to something like a Google Search Console or I have my keyword list that I optimize for. Could I give Generative AI my keyword list and say, “Hey, these are the keywords or these are the phrases that humans search for. Can you help me transform these into longer-term, longer-tail keywords that a machine would search for?” Is that a process that someone who doesn’t have API access could follow? Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, because that’s exactly what’s going on inside Google software. They basically have, “Here’s the original thing. Determine the intent of the query, and then run 50 to 100 searches, variations of that, and then look at the results and sort of aggregate them, come back with what it came up with.” That’s exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. You could replicate that. It would just be a lot of manual labor. Katie Robbert: But for some, I mean, some people, some companies have to start somewhere, right? I could see—I mean, you’re saying it’s a lot of manual labor—I could even see it as a starting point. Just for simple math, here are the top 10 phrases that Trust Insights wants to rank for. “Hey, Gemini, can you help me determine the intent and give me three variations of each of these phrases that I can then build into my AdWords account?” I feel like that at least gives people a little bit more of a leg up than just waiting to see if anything comes up in search. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, you absolutely could do that. And that would be a perfectly acceptable way to at least get started. Here’s the other wrinkle: it depends on which model of Gemini. There are three of them that exist. There’s Gemini Pro, which is the heavy duty model that almost never gets used in AI Overview. Does get used to AI mode, but AI Overviews, no. There’s Gemini Flash, and then there’s Gemini Flashlight. One of the things that is a challenge for marketers is to figure out which version Google is going to use and when they swap them in and out based on the difficulty of the query. So if you typed in, “best hotels under $1,000 Ibiza Spain,” right? That’s something that Flashlight is probably going to get because it’s an easy query. It requires no thinking. It can just dump a result very quickly, deliver very high performance, get a good result for the user, and not require a lot of mental benchmarks. On the other hand, if you type something like, “My dog has this weird bump on his leg, what should I do about it?” For a more complex query, it’s probably going to jump to Flash and go into thinking mode so it can generate a more accurate answer. It’s a higher risk query. So one of the things that, if you’re doing that exercise, you would want to test your ideas in both Flashlight and Flash to see how they differ and what results it comes back with for the search terms, because they will be different based on the model. Katie Robbert: But again, you have to start somewhere. It reminds me of when the smart devices all rolled out into the market. So everybody was yelling at their home speakers, which I’m not going to start doing because mine will go off. But from there, we as marketers were learning that people speaking into a voice, if they’re using the voice option on a Google search or if they’re using their smart home devices, they’re speaking in these complete sentences. The way that we had to think about search changed then and there. I feel like these generative AI systems are akin to the voice search, to the smart devices, to using the microphone and yelling into your phone, but coming up with Google results. If you aren’t already doing that, then get in your DeLorean, go back to, what, 2015, and start optimizing for smart devices and voice search. And then you can go ahead and start optimizing for GEO and GEM, because I feel like if you’re not doing that, then you’re at a serious disadvantage. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, no, you absolutely are. So, I would say if you’re going to start somewhere, start with Gemini Flash. If you know your way around Google’s AI Studio, which is the developer version, that’s the best place to start because the consumer version of the web interface has a lot of extra stuff in it that Google’s back end will not have that the raw Gemini will not have because it slows it down. They build in, for example, a lot of safety stuff into the consumer web interface that is there for a good reason, but the search version of it doesn’t use because it’s a much more constrained use. So I would say start by reading up on how Google does this stuff. Then go into AI Studio, choose Gemini 3 Flash, and start having it generate those longer search queries, and then figure out, okay, is this stuff that we should be putting into our Google Ads as the keyword matches? The other thing is, from an advertising perspective, obviously we know the systems are going to be tailored to extract as much money from you as possible, but that also means having more things that are available as inventory for it to use. So we have been saying for three years now, if you are not creating content for places like YouTube, you have missed the boat. You really need to be doing that now because Google makes it pretty clear you can run ads on multiple parts of their platform. If you have your own content that you can turn into shorts and things, you can repurpose some of that within Google Ads and then help use that as fodder for your ad campaigns. It’s a no-brainer. Katie Robbert: To be clear, we’re talking about the Google ecosystem. Some companies aren’t using that. You can use a Google search engine without being part of the ecosystem. But some companies aren’t using Gemini, therefore they’re not using Developer Studio. If they’re using OpenAI, which is ChatGPT or Claude, or a lot of companies are Microsoft Shops. So a lot of them are using Copilot. I think taking the requirement to tap into the API or Developer Studio out of the conversation, that’s what I’m trying to get at. Not everybody has access to this stuff. So we need to provide those alternate routes, especially for all of our friends who are suffering through Copilot. Christopher S. Penn: Yes. The other thing is, if you haven’t already done this—it’s on the Trust Insights website, it’s in our Inbox Insight section. If you have not already gotten your Google Analytics Explore Dashboard set up to look at where you’re currently getting traffic from generative AI, you need to do that because this is also a good benchmark to say, “Okay, when this ad system rolls out for ChatGPT, for example, should we put money in it for Trust Insights?” The answer is yes, because ChatGPT currently is still the largest direct referrer of traffic to us. You can see in this last 28 days. Now granted this is the holidays, there wasn’t a ton happening, but ChatGPT is still the largest source of AI-generated direct clicked-on stuff to our website. If OpenAI says, “Hey, ads are open,” as we know with all these systems in the initial days, it will probably either be outlandishly expensive or ridiculously cheap. One of the two. If it errs on the ridiculously cheap side, that would be the first system for us to test because we’re already getting traffic from that model. Katie Robbert: So I think the big takeaway in 2026 is what is old is new again. Everyone is going to slap an AI label on it. If you think SEO is dead, if you think search is dead, well, you have another thing coming. If you think SEM is dead, you definitely have another thing coming. The basic tenets of good SEO and SEM are still essential, if not more so, because every conversation you have this year and moving forward, I guarantee, is going to come back to something with generative AI. How do we show up more? How do we measure it? So it really comes down to really smart SEO and SEM and then slapping an AI label on it. Am I wrong? I’m not wrong. So if you know really good SEO, if you know really good SEM, you already have a leg up on your competition. If you’re like, “Oh, I didn’t realize SEO and SEM were important.” Now, like today, no hesitation, now is the time to start getting skilled up on those things. Forget the label, forget GEO, forget GEMs, forget all that stuff. Just do really good intent-based content. Content that’s helpful, content that answers questions. If you have started nowhere and need to start somewhere today, take a look at the questions that your audience is asking about what you do, about what you sell. For example, Chris, a question that we might answer is, “How do I get started with change management?” Or, “How do I get started with good prompt engineering?” We could create a ton of content around that, and that’s going to give us an opportunity to rank, quote, unquote, rank in these systems for that content. Because it will be good, high-quality content that answers questions that might get picked up by some of our peer publications. And that’s how it all gets into it. But that’s a whole other side of the conversation. Christopher S. Penn: It is. It absolutely is. And again, if you would like to have a discussion about getting the more technical stuff implemented, like running query fan out things to see how Gemini rewrites your stuff, and you don’t want to do it yourself, hit us up. We’re more than happy to have the initial conversation and potentially do it for you because that’s what we do. You can always find us at trustinsights.ai/contact.

The 2024 presidential race was the first big election to happen in the new generative AI era. There have, of course, been major concerns that the technology could be used to deceive voters or interfere with the exercise of democracy. But so far, that kind of activity has been limited, according to Tim Harper, a senior policy analyst and coauthor of a recent report from the Center for Democracy and Technology.

The generative AI landscape has shifted again, and at speed. In this update episode, Daniel Rowles breaks down a rapid sequence of releases from OpenAI and Google, explaining what has actually changed, what genuinely matters, and how marketers and business leaders should respond. Covering everything from ChatGPT 5.x and Gemini 3 through to image generation breakthroughs, AI-powered apps, and the rise of accessible 'vibe coding', this episode is a practical briefing rather than hype-driven commentary. Daniel focuses on real-world capability, usability, and where these tools are already changing how marketing teams work, build, and analyse. Rather than asking which model is "winning", the episode reframes the question around task-based selection. Different tools now excel at different jobs, from coding and image editing to workflow automation and reporting. Understanding those strengths is quickly becoming a competitive advantage In This Episode How the AI model race intensified between OpenAI and Google at the beginning of 2026 What actually changed with ChatGPT 5.1 and 5.2, beyond the headline claims Why Gemini 3 represents a major leap in reasoning and coding capability How image generation tools have crossed a new threshold in photorealism and editing What Nano Banana Pro means for branded, on-style visual creation Why ChatGPT connectors becoming "apps" is more important than it sounds How tools like Canva, Adobe, and Figma now integrate directly into AI workflows What vibe coding really is, and why it matters for non-technical marketers How canvas mode transforms the way code, content, and interfaces are created Why AI-powered browsers and agent modes could redefine reporting and analysis Key Takeaways No single AI model is best at everything, and choosing by task is now essential Image editing and brand-consistent visuals are becoming dramatically more accessible Marketers can now create interactive tools and content without traditional development AI-assisted coding is shifting from novelty to practical everyday use Workflow automation and reporting are emerging as some of the biggest wins Understanding interfaces and deployment matters as much as model intelligence

Vitality and Generative Capacity - Ep185 This podcast is a blend of walking thoughts, followed by three readings which are appended to support the experience and concepts I talk about. It is based on the experience I had of loosing power at home for almost 5 days just before Christmas this year.  The first reading is from Mike Salemi. You can find him on his site Mike Salemi dot IO. He talks about five nutrients that all men need.  The second is from Evan Peikon, who has a Substack titled On Human Performance. He discusses the limitations of modern wearable devices and what they can and cannot tell us, making the case that wearable companies are effectively writing checks they cannot always cash when they draw multiple conclusions from a single device.  The third is from Michael Holt, who discusses how modern man is most often depleted, and how this leads to an erosion of his abilities to be generative. This state does not only impact his ability to perform at the highest level, it negatively impacts everyone in his life.   Links: Mike Salemi ►► https://mikesalemi.io Evan Peikon ►► https://onhumanperformance.substack.com Michael Holt ►► https://savageandsaint.com

From all of us at Cloud Realities, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Back in our December 2022 Christmas special, we explored the far reaches of reality, asking whether we live in a simulation and if that even matters. Now, we return to that question with fresh perspectives and new challenges…In this last Cloud Realities podcast of 2025, Dave, Esmee and Rob return to the simulation with Anders Indset, philosopher, author, and long-time friend of the show, revisiting a question that's been quietly running underneath everything we've discussed since 2022: If reality itself is information and what does that mean for being human? TLDR:00:58 – It's Christmas!08:32 – Major announcement and reflections on the Cloud Realities podcast journey15:32 – Celebrating three big wins: B2B Marketing Awards (Best Content, Best Customer Retention) and The Drum (Best Creative Audio)22:55 – Is there a next thing?23:30 – Welcoming Anders Indset, who shares his vision for practical philosophy and the future of human/AI co-evolution32:02 – Exploring the Quantum Economy and the Singularity Paradox58:10 – Deep dive into the Simulation Hypothesis, revisiting the 2022 discussion and Rob is again confused...01:27:45 – Anders enjoying Christmas in the Norwegian wilderness01:29:40 – Edit pointGuestAnders Indset: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andersindset/ or andersindset.comAdditional information: thequantumeconomy.com and tomorrowmensch.comHostsDave Chapmanger: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Gluhwein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Snowmananahan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ProductionDr Mike van Der Buabbles: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapmanger: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Jingle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Snow:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Cloud Realities' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In case you missed it, this episode tackles one of the biggest shifts quietly reshaping healthcare marketing: search is no longer about winning keywords. It is about understanding intent, context, and how AI now mediates discovery. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith revisit a timely conversation on how generative AI is changing the rules of SEO and why many traditional optimization tactics no longer hold up. As search results become AI-assembled experiences rather than ranked lists, health systems are being forced to rethink how they create, structure, and distribute content. This ICYMI episode explores why SEO now looks less like a checklist and more like a precision sport, where strategy, patience, and adaptability matter more than brute force tactics. Thought leader Carrie Liken joins the conversation to unpack what Google's generative search future means for healthcare organizations, including the rise of zero-click discovery, the collapse of keyword-first strategies, and how hospitals can stay visible when AI becomes the first interaction layer. If your SEO playbook still assumes users are clicking blue links, this is one worth revisiting.

Generative UI is quietly changing how digital products work — and Google Labs' experimental browser Disco is a perfect example of that shift.Not what buttons look like.But how interfaces are created in the first place.In this episode of Future of UX, I explore what happens when interfaces are no longer fixed screens, but generated on the fly based on user intent, context, and goals.Using Disco and its GenTabs feature as a lens, we talk about:why browsing is shifting from search-first to goal-firsthow UI becomes a temporary, situational response rather than a static artifactand why trust, transparency, and responsibility become core UX challenges in generative systemsThis is not a tool review or a hype episode.It's a UX-first perspective on what Generative UI signals for designers, product teams, and anyone shaping digital experiences.If you work in UX, product, or design strategy, this episode will help you understand what's actually changing and why it matters.Become part of the conversation:Please share your thoughts here: Users casually creating their own apps now?

How do you build a real business — not just a product — inside a marketplace like Amazon? And how does generative strategy change the way entrepreneurs think about scale, risk, and value creation?In this episode of The Value Creators Podcast, Hunter Hastings talks with Neil Twa, founder and coach of Voltage Holdings, to break down what it really takes to build, operate, and exit successful marketplace-based companies. Neil explains his Train–Equip–Activate framework, how to separate business-building from product-picking, and why discipline, patience, and marketplace fit matter more than trends or hacks.Key Insights:Why marketplaces reward systems, not spontaneity — and how most sellers fail before they truly start.Generative entrepreneurship vs. opportunistic entrepreneurship: building for scale rather than chasing outcomes.Why the goal isn't just revenue — it's margin, defensibility, customer value, and eventually sellability.This episode is a hands-on masterclass for entrepreneurs who want to move beyond “Amazon hustle culture” and instead build asset-backed, generative companies that endure.Resources:➡️ Learn What They Didn't Teach You In Business School: The Value Creators Online Business CourseConnect with Neil Twa on LinkedInLearn more about Voltage HoldingsGet the book Almost Automated Income with FBA: Build a Profitable Lifestyle-Driven Amazon Business.

AI is failing most companies, trapping employees in digital exhaustion. The real problem isn't the technology, but the organization itself. Forget fixing your models—the path to true transformation is redesigning your workflows, structure, and human collaboration to finally work with AI. In this episode, Rebecca Hinds, Head of the Work AI Institute at Glean, unpacks insights from the Work Transformation 100 study, revealing what 100+ leaders, technologists, and researchers are doing differently to make AI actually work. You'll learn how AI needs to be embedded in the flow of work, why organizational structure eats AI for breakfast, how centralization and decentralization must coexist, and how leaders can avoid automating the soul of work by preserving ownership, creativity, and accountability. Rebecca breaks down the emerging collaboration between HR and IT, the rise of agentic workflows, the role of telemetry data in measuring AI adoption, and why flattening org charts for the sake of AI often backfires. She also shares real examples of bottom-up and top-down AI change, the impact of digital exhaustion, and the critical importance of redesigning processes and incentives before redesigning technology. This episode is every CHRO's playbook to lead AI transformation with human insight, organizational clarity, and people-first strategy, not hype.   ________________ This Episode is sponsored by Glean: The AI Transformation 100 is here — Glean's Work AI Institute reveals what's really working with AI at work The AI Transformation 100, authored by Dr. Rebecca Hinds, Head of the Work AI Institute at Glean and Stanford's Bob Sutton surfaces 100 hard-won lessons from leaders actually deploying AI at scale.

AI is transforming software development—redefining roles, creativity, and community, while challenging developers to embrace ambiguity, orchestrate specialized agents, and stay human through empathy and curiosity. Will AI make developers more creative, or will we forget how the machine really works under the hood?This week Dave, Esmee , Rob sit down with Scott Hanselman, VP Developer Community at Microsoft for a wildly energetic, deeply human, and brilliantly practical conversation about how AI is reshaping software development and what that means for creativity, careers, and all industries. TLDR00:30 – Scott Hanselman introduced as a special guest from Microsoft Ignite 2025.02:16 – Scott discusses how AI is fundamentally redesigning all industries.09:50 – Don't anthropomorphize AI, I want the computer from Star Trek!15:30 – Delegation: contrasting the roles of humans and agents.18:30 – The importance of supporting early career growth and learning.26:30 – Why specificity matters in AI and coding.35:30 – Making AI delightful and fun.45:30 – Always put humans first in AI development.46:00 – Each morning I think about lunch. GuestScott Hanselman: https://www.hanselman.com/The Hanselminutes Podcast: https://www.hanselman.com/podcasts with over 1025 podcasts! HostsDave Chapman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Cloud Realities' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In Part Two of this high-impact conversation, Dwayne continues his deep dive with global business strategist and Success Story Podcast host Scott Clary, who breaks down exactly why attention is the foundational currency of modern business — and why companies that fail to adapt will be overtaken by those who move quickly with media, content, and AI.Scott unpacks the psychology of why leaders resist content, the identity fear behind “not wanting to suck,” and how legacy businesses risk losing everything because they're still marketing for 2005 while technology is sprinting into 2025.Dwayne and Scott explore real-world examples—from lawn-care companies to B2B manufacturers to billion-dollar firms—and show how even the most “unsexy” industries can dominate simply by capturing attention and building trust at scale.The conversation expands into AI disruption, the collapse of traditional SEO, the rise of generative search, modern buyer behavior, shortening sales cycles through content, and the undeniable compounding power of personal brand.This episode is a wake-up call to business owners everywhere: adapt now, or be replaced by those who do.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS00:00 – Media equals attention and attention drives every business outcome. 02:00 – The real starting point for content: sucking at first and learning through repetition.04:30 – Scott unpacks why universal business principles apply to content creation. 06:00 – Identity, fear, and why business owners avoid content creation.07:00 – The widening gap between tech adopters and those still resisting digital change. 09:00 – Legacy vs. legitimacy: content won't damage your reputation, but irrelevance will. 11:00 – Content isn't just video - newsletters, audio, and niche education all count. 13:00 – Niche creators winning with “unsexy” businesses. 17:00 – Example content strategies.20:00 – Why Scott studies fast-growing creators - not the biggest creators. 23:00 – The explosive business outcomes possible when you master content (“not a 1x or 2x”). 27:00 – Why even billion-dollar CEOs must build trust through media. 33:00 – How content accelerates B2B sales cycles and increases closing ratios. 37:00 – Generative search is replacing Google.43:00 – Scott breaks down the KPI stack: retention, shares, watch time, and qualified leads. 48:00 – Essential tools: ChatGPT, Claude, Opus Pro, CapCut, etc., and what they're best for. 50:00 – Hiring global talent.56:00 – The coming AI household-assistant revolution.01:02:00 – SEO collapse and the rise of creator-driven education and media networks. 01:08:00 – Entrepreneurs have already done hard things - this is simply the next one. 01:10:00 – Passion is the outcome of mastery, not the prerequisite. 01:11:00 – How older leaders can partner with younger digital natives.KEY TAKEAWAYSAttention is the gateway to trust, and trust drives every buying decision.Content doesn't mean dancing online; it means choosing a medium you can stick with.AI and generative search are rewriting SEO overnight.Content massively increases sales velocity and close rates.Small businesses have the most to gain from adopting a media strategy.Entrepreneurship is staying alive long enough for your strategy to work. QUOTES:"Media is attention.

fal is building the infrastructure layer for the generative media boom. In this episode, founders Gorkem Yurtseven, Burkay Gur, and Head of Engineering Batuhan Taskaya explain why video models present a completely different optimization problem than LLMs, one that is compute-bound, architecturally volatile, and changing every 30 days. They discuss how fal's tracing compiler, custom kernels, and globally distributed GPU fleet enable them to run more than 600 image and video models simultaneously, often faster than the labs that trained them. The team also shares what they're seeing from the demand side: AI-native studios, personalized education, programmatic advertising, and early engagement from Hollywood. They argue that generative video is following a trajectory similar to early CGI—initial skepticism giving way to a new medium with its own workflows, aesthetics, and economic models.Hosted by Sonya Huang, Sequoia Capital

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross dives deep into one of the most fundamental marketing shifts of our time — the emergence of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). As AI-powered discovery tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Reddit Answers, TikTok Search, and more evolve, traditional SEO strategies are no longer enough. Ross unpacks how marketers need to rethink content creation, distribution, and visibility across platforms, focusing not just on ranking, but on being cited, trusted, and remembered. Whether you're an SEO pro, a content marketer, or someone navigating the changing digital landscape, this episode offers a powerful perspective on where discovery is heading and how you can position your brand for success. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Shift from Traditional SEO to GEO - The discovery journey is changing — not all search begins (or ends) on Google. - GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is not just about keywords and backlinks, but about engaging with AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, You.com, Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and more. - Terminology wars (AISEO, AEO, GEO) are less important than understanding the strategic implications of the shift. 2. Where AI Discovery is Happening - AI overviews and LLMs (large language models) pull data from varied sources, not just webpages — Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and UGC are key. - Clicking is becoming less important as AI agents deliver answers before users even leave the platform. 3. YouTube's Role in GEO - YouTube isn't just social media — it's the second-biggest search engine and a major citation source for LLMs. - Talking head videos, product comparisons, and keyword-aligned titles matter more than ever. - A poor YouTube strategy (short, shallow clips) means your audience never finds you. 4. Listicles, PR, and Affiliate Strategy in the AI Age - AI often weighs citations based on list ranking — being #8 consistently limits visibility. - Your affiliate and digital PR strategies must now consider how high you appear on listicles that AI sources from. - Move beyond backlinks to placements, citations, and brand mentions across high-impact domains. 5. Tailoring Content for Audience-Specific Queries - LLMs recognize nuances: “best for beginners” vs. “best for enterprise” matters. - Brands should create multiple landing pages tailored to different personas (as long as it's high quality and not duplicated). 6. The Difference Between SEO and GEO - GEO includes SEO, but it's broader — it encompasses TikTok search, Instagram Reels, Reddit, and any platform with discovery. - GEO is about visibility in AI-powered interfaces, not just search rankings. 7. The Predictive Future of Discovery - Personalized AI results are here: Google's AI Overviews may use Gmail, Calendar, Chrome history to shape responses. - The future consumer journey might completely bypass websites and search engines.

From November 29, 2023: Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard a great deal over the last year about generative AI and how it's going to reshape various aspects of our society. That includes elections. With one year until the 2024 U.S. presidential election, we thought it would be a good time to step back and take a look at how generative AI might and might not make a difference when it comes to the political landscape. Luckily, Matt Perault and Scott Babwah Brennen of the UNC Center on Technology Policy have a new report out on just that subject, examining generative AI and political ads.On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our series on the information ecosystem, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic and Lawfare's Fellow in Technology Policy and Law Eugenia Lostri sat down with Matt and Scott to talk through the potential risks and benefits of generative AI when it comes to political advertising. Which concerns are overstated, and which are worth closer attention as we move toward 2024? How should policymakers respond to new uses of this technology in the context of elections?To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
