AI is redesigning the web. Will humans be left behind?
The internet is changing. Artificial intelligence now answers questions, plans trips, and does research. But to do this, AI must learn from the web. This means websites are being built more for machines than for people. The shift is subtle but real. Many sites now structure content to help AI chatbots and search engines understand them first. Human readers often find these pages cluttered, repetitive, or hard to navigate. Experts warn this could hurt the "human-centred web"—a space designed for people to explore, read, and connect. If machines become the main audience, the web may lose its readability and charm. For now, the trend continues. The question remains: will the web serve us, or the AI that learns from us?
