Publishers Face Uncertainty in the Age of AI Search

 Publishers Face Uncertainty in the Age of AI Search

Google's venture into generative AI is seriously upending the publishing sector in an information-driven society. Publishers have both opportunities and worries in light of the recently announced Search Generative Experience (SGE).

In order to provide succinct summaries in response to search queries, Google uses SGE, a form of artificial intelligence. In order to give consumers more individualized search results, this new tool is offered as an opt-in experiment. The user experience may be improved, but publishers face difficulties as a result.

A number of important factors worry publishers. In the beginning, they are concerned about site traffic because SGE summaries may discourage readers from clicking on the links provided by the publisher. Second, they wonder if they'll be given the right credit for providing the data used in SGE summary. These summaries' accuracy is also being investigated.

Importantly, publishers seek just pay for their work, which supports the development of AI technologies like SGE. Google is attempting to comprehend how generative AI applications make money while also working with publishers to develop payment plans. Google-Extended is a service that enables publishers to prevent AI training on their material.

However, publishers are in a pickle. Blocking SGE content might make them less visible in conventional Google search, which would have an impact on their ability to charge advertising. Publishers will need to reconsider the worth of their content because of the possibility that the new format would reduce organic traffic.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

India raises concern over North Korea missile tests at UNSC, 2nd time in weeks

 As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met for the second time in a month over the missile tests in North Korea, India yet again raised concerns over the impact on peace and security in the region. New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions. In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
