    How to Get Chosen by AI

    AI is changing how people discover businesses, experts, and solutions online. In this episode of Get Chosen. LIVE!, I sit down with Andreas Voniatis to unpack how platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI tools decide who gets recommended and who gets ignored. Andreas explains why traditional SEO is no longer enough, how Generative Engine Optimization works, and why research-driven, insight-rich content now drives visibility. He also shares why AI is positioning “winners and losers” in search and what business owners must do to stay relevant. If you want your brand, expertise, and ideas to show up where modern decisions are being made, this episode is for you. Watch now and learn how to get chosen in the age of AI.Guest IntroductionAndreas Voniatis is the founder and CEO of Artios.io, an AI search optimization (GEO) agency that helps B2B companies get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI platforms with guaranteed results. A certified accountant turned data scientist, Andreas built his first Large Language Model from the ground up in 2019, three years before ChatGPT's launch, giving him unique expertise in how AI systems process and recommend information. He is the author of "Data Driven SEO with Python" (Springer, 2022) and has nearly 25 years of experience in SEO and digital marketing.
