Search patent of the week: Systems and methods for providing reliable information for queries
Description
The episode is focussing a patent by Microsoft Technology Licensing LLC for a system designed to deliver reliable, expert-verified information in response to user queries. This system aims to combat misinformation from traditional search engines and generative AI by accessing an expert knowledge base containing only answers from verified expert identifiers. When a query is submitted, the system classifies its field of expertise, converts the query into a vector, and then searches the expert knowledge base for a closely matching, pre-existing expert answer, delivering it directly without modification. If no answer is found, the system can obtain a new one from a verified expert. For content creators, this system signifies a shift from traditional SEO to establishing verifiable authority and producing highly focused, accurate content within a specific field of expertise, as the value lies in the direct, authoritative answer rather than website traffic.
