Google is hiring staff to create AI content for Discover feed
What happened
Google posted job listings for roles involving generative AI content creation for Google Discover. The listings can change or close at any time. Google already offers a Discover generative AI report that shows when Discover's AI features link to your site.
Why it matters
Google Discover could increasingly surface AI-generated content, which may change how much traffic websites receive from the feed. Website owners should monitor their Discover report to see if and how AI features are sending visitors their way.
