| | Digital progress ‘static’ as nearly half of charities say staff skills a barrier: report
This year’s Charity Digital Skills report paints a complex picture of a sector in which, according to the authors, tech use “has evolved and yet overall digital progress remains static.”
Zoe Amar and Nissa Ramsay write, “We can clearly see the impact of the cost of living crisis on charities and their organisational development. A lack of capacity, headspace and financial pressures are all preventing progress with digital.”
These dynamics may not be unique to the third sector; many readers will recognise challenges represented by budgets, data management and decision making, and artificial intelligence (AI). |
Fears about Google search quality and competition overstated, according to study
There’s been increasing talk of whether Google might be under threat from large language model (LLM)-powered chatbots like ChatGPT or search engines that use them – like Microsoft’s Bing, which integrated OpenAI into its search engine in March 2023, and rising player Perplexity.ai.
But how accurate is this picture of an ageing search giant that could soon be outflanked by nimbler competitors? Rand Fishkin, Co-Founder of SparkToro and former CEO of Moz, carried out a recent study that looked at Google searches and where they go – and concluded that there is very little threat to Google’s dominance. |
