OpenAI is updating its privacy policy with new details on ads, data usage and upcoming features across its products, including ChatGPT. The update was shared with ChatGPT users and outlines how advertising will work inside ChatGPT — and what data advertisers can and cannot access. Why we care. OpenAI’s update makes it clear that user privacy is a top priority: personal chats, histories, and details are never shared with advertisers. Ads can still be personalized using anonymized engagement signals, meaning brands can reach relevant audiences without compromising sensitive data. This approach lets advertisers measure performance safely while building trust with…

The way people find your content, click on it, and convert from it changed this quarter. AI search went from a visibility question to a measurement and budget question, and most marketing teams haven’t caught up yet. That’s why we built SEJ Live. It’s a free, half-day virtual event on March 11 from 12 to 3pm ET with three sessions designed to help you walk away with a plan for Q2. What We’re Covering In the opening session, I’m joining Loren Baker and Shelley Walsh to break down Q1’s AI search changes from three angles. I’ll be covering the news,…

tool built upon coding agents such as Claude Code. It allows you to have a coding agent running 24×7, working proactively and reactively to solve tasks. I’ve set up multiple OpenClaw instances already and have learned a fair few things through active usage. I’ve also discussed it a lot with colleagues who work with OpenClaw agents on a daily basis, and in this article, I’ll share some of the tips and tricks I’ve learned on how to get the most out of OpenClaw and some mistakes that I’ve made, which I’ll tell you how to avoid. This infographic highlights the…

A new study reported an increase in mental fatigue tied to heavy AI use. Marketing workers were hit hardest at 26%. A Harvard Business Review article by researchers from Boston Consulting Group and the University of California, Riverside reports that 14% of 1,488 full-time U.S.-based workers surveyed experienced what the authors call “brain fry.” They define it as mental fatigue from excessive use of, interaction with, or oversight of AI tools beyond a person’s cognitive capacity. What The Study Found The study identified AI oversight as the most mentally taxing form of AI engagement. Workers who reported that their AI…

Previous reasoning methods typically rely on…

On a strictly economic front, it weakens the value proposition of dining out. “If you’re in a place where the wine list is extensive, and there’s a sommelier, that’s part of what you’re paying for,” says Urbina. “It’s included in the price.”Talking about wine with an expert who hasn’t been trained on your speech and thought patterns is an investment that pays dividends too. The practice not only helps you develop your own sense of taste, but can also make it easier to find glasses and bottles you’ll enjoy in the future.If you think about wine as another language, enlisting…

for nearly a decade, and I’m often asked, “How do we know if our current AI setup is optimized?” The honest answer? Lots of testing. Clear benchmarks allow you to measure improvements, compare vendors, and justify ROI. Most teams evaluate AI search by running a handful of queries and picking whichever system “feels” best. Then they spend six months integrating it, only to discover that accuracy is actually worse than that of their previous setup. Here’s how to avoid that $500K mistake. The problem: ad-hoc testing doesn’t reflect production behavior, isn’t replicable, and corporate benchmarks aren’t customized to your use…
