In the future, every business will need two websites: one for humans, and one for AI. AI researcher and OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy seems to agree. What this means for marketing teams and business leaders is massive. There will be winners and losers in this shift to AI-based search and product discovery. Less focus on pretty graphics and animations, and more on the semantic meaning of website content. At AthenaHQ , we’re already helping our customers futureproof their businesses to this generational change.
