Artificial intelligence optimization (AIO) or AI optimization is a discipline concerned with improving the structure, clarity, and retrievability of digital content for large language models (LLMs) and other AI systems. [1] [2] [3] AIO is also known as answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization. AIO and related disciplines target AI-powered systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews that provide direct responses to user queries. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
AI optimization (AIO) arguably introduces formalized metrics and structures—such as the Trust Integrity Score (TIS)—to improve how content is embedded, retrieved, and interpreted by LLMs. [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [18] [19] [20]
