The Threat to Google's Search Dominance
Recent advancements in AI technologies are challenging Google's long-standing supremacy in the search market. New competitors like OpenAI and Perplexity are emerging, offering AI-driven search engines that summarize answers from various sources, which contrasts with Google's link-based results.
