In a recent discussion, experts delved into the evolving landscape of AI products, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), highlighting the dichotomy between black-box proprietary models and transparent open-source alternatives.
Rai, a prominent figure in the field, emphasized the importance of understanding the inner workings of AI models, indicating that the industry is grappling with defining concepts like open weights and open-source models more clearly. He underscored the necessity for marketers to engage in conversations regarding the nature of new-age optimization techniques, drawing parallels to the transparency achieved in platforms such as Google Search and Microsoft Bing.
Drawing on the necessity for comprehension in a rapidly changing environment, Rai suggested that in scenarios where search experiences are founded on an ‘open source, open weights’ paradigm, marketers must either develop technical proficiency or collaborate with experts to grasp the mechanisms behind information ranking and retrieval, enabling them to influence visibility effectively.
Shifting focus to practical strategies for navigating the future of SearchGPT, Ranganathan Somanathan, CEO and advisor of Publicis Media Malaysia and Singapore International, outlined four crucial points:
Structured data and SEO: Emphasizing the implementation of structured data and optimization for natural language processing to enhance visibility and relevance.
