This audio production is intended to bring new technologies that impact our lives, like digital assets, central bank digital currencies and artificial intelligence in an easy to understand way to a larger audience.

In this episode, we discuss the fact that the digital ecosystem is undergoing a fundamental restructuring driven by generative AI, shifting from a search-centric discovery model to an answer-centric consumption model. This phenomenon, described as "AI eating the web," systematically decouples information utility from its original human sources, redirecting traffic, revenue, and engagement toward centralized AI platforms. The economic impact is staggering, with an estimated loss of 250 billion daily pageviews, translating to nearly $100 billion in lost annual value for creators and publishers.
