Prompting is easy. Knowing when not to use AI—and how to govern AI output so it doesn’t quietly erode expertise, trust, and search visibility—is the real literacy businesses need.

Google’s May 2026 AI announcements point to a clear direction: AI that doesn’t just answer, but monitors, plans, and takes action across apps.
