Sustainable Bytes
Sustainable digital solutions are hard to find. It’s challenging to keep up with meaningful trends and relevant regulations, in the EU’s complex environment of regulations especially so. This is due to the ever-evolving landscape of digital technologies. This edition of the newsletter aims to provide a robust overview of current and upcoming regulations that play a significant role for website operators and product owners. We’ll delve into how AI affects search engine optimization (SEO), a topic we previously addressed. We use this opportunity to highlight once more how managing intellectual property in a structured content store will move you closer towards an AI-ready, sustainable digital future. And for your own sustainable digital environment we’ll highlight a neat and very old technology that can enhance personal online experiences through individual content curation. We want to clarify that this newsletter was not written using AI, despite the the overuse of “ever-evolving” and all the other phrases that suggest otherwise. Apparently.
Artificial Intelligence is still hot in 2025
We’re excited to share Dinghy’s perspective on how the latest tech news impacts user experience design and digital product building. This newsletter offers a new format, and we’d be happy to get your thoughts on it. If you’re interested in what Dinghy has been up to, scroll to the end for the usual company updates.
