Google isn’t picking between AI-powered search or AI assistants. The future of information retrieval isn’t either-or – Google intends to win at both, according to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis. Why we care. Google is radically reshaping search with generative AI – through AI Overviews and the newly launched AI Mode. Google apparently views this as a moment to expand its dominance.

Today is Thursday, May 29, 2025. I hope we all can agree on that. But Google’s AI Overviews are seriously confused about what today is. Is it Tuesday? Here’s what Google thinks:Google thinks today is Wednesday and yesterday was Tuesday. But it got the dates correct (today is May 29 and yesterday was May 28). So, yay? Google also spit out this equally helpful answer, telling me the date is May 29 (correct) but again said that it’s Wednesday, even including a citation to a site.

I recently interviewed Mike King, CEO of iPullRank and one of the most respected minds in SEO, about where search is headed and how SEOs need to reinvent themselves to stay relevant. Some of the topics covered:Google’s AI Overviews and what SEOs are getting wrong. Why SEO tools are years behind how Google actually works today. What “relevance engineering” is – and why it may be the future of SEO.
