🤖 The Latest AI News You Can’t Miss

Let’s go through the hottest AI news stories of the week.

Google's Universal Cart will keep an eye on your shopping
Daniel Cooper
Google announced Universal Cart at the Google I/O. It is a tool that aggregates all of your purchases under one roof and lets you shop from more places.

You'll find it first in Shopping, Search, and Gemini, with YouTube and Gmail arriving later in the year.

LinkedIn doesn't want your AI slop anymore
Karissa Bell
LinkedIn is taking new steps to reduce the reach of posts that bear the hallmarks of AI-generated drivel.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Has A Web Cache
Barry Schwartz
ChatGPT's web search feature offers a web cache, an offline, locally stored version of previously crawled web pages. This should not come as a surprise, as all search engines store cached versions of web pages (even if they don't show them to us).

These include: Upgrading Search with Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new default model in AI Mode, merging AI Overviews and AI Mode into one conversation, creating, customizing, and managing multiple AI agents for your many tasks, right in Search, the ability to build custom experiences with Antigravity, like mini apps, in Search, and more.

🤖 Useful AI Guides & Resources for Marketers

It’s time to take your marketing to the next level with these AI resources.

The New Rules of AI Visibility and How To Prepare for It
Aleyda Solis
Aleyda goes through why AI search should be treated as an evolution of SEO, not a disconnected discipline, the biggest changes affecting AI search optimization, from probabilistic clicks to query fan-out and agentic experiences, and why SEO, digital PR, brand, social, community, and reputation management now need to work much more closely together, and more in this comprehensive guide. 

Your Inbox Might Be the Next AI Search Signal
Garrett Sussman, Michael Tandoh, Cate Dombrowski
iPullRank tested whether Google's Personal Intelligence layer could influence brand recommendations across 1,922 AI Mode responses. The results point out that brand signals added to personal context in a Google Personal Intelligence connected account changed AI Mode recommendations; a recommendation sitting in Gmail mattered more than a brand sitting in Google Photos, among other findings. 

AI Now Writes as Many Online Articles as Humans
Graphite
A study by Graphite revealed that the number of articles published online that are primarily AI-generated (50%) equals the number written by humans (50%). However, since Q1 2025, the percentage of articles primarily generated by AI has plateaued at roughly 50%.

Reasoning lift: What happens to AI visibility when AI thinks harder
Kevin Indig
Kevin analyzed 20 buyer journeys across 4 different verticals to compare high vs. low reasoning for ChatGPT5.2, and goes through: Why high reasoning cites a nearly different web, which source types gain or lose ground, and more. The study found that high reasoning models are cited more especially at the problem stage, among other findings.

Is AI Killing Publisher Search Traffic? What The Guardian and Telegraph Think
Jojo Furnival
Jessie Willms and Harry Clarkson-Bennett on why publisher SEO is broken, and what actually matters now. The takeaway: The economics are broken: content costs more to produce, and Google returns less in traffic. Commodity evergreen content is no longer worth the investment for most publishers.
