I am using Azure Ai Search with knowledge coming from Azure Blob. Now I want to upgrade info in Azure Blob. Is there a way that Ai Search can automatically get new knowledge from Azure Blob?

Yes. Once the index is created in Azure Search based on the Blob data, you can rerun indexing again based on the changed documents. See the snippet from the documentation below.

There is a detailed article that focuses on change detection. Read it below.

Thank you for your kind answer! So everytime knowledge is renewed, all indexes have to be rebuilt, which could be annoying to me since I got a rather rapid changing knowledge base... I'd appreciate it if you could give me some advice on it.

This is achieved by using indexers. For indexed content that originates from Azure Storage, change detection occurs automatically because indexers keep track of the last update using the built-in timestamps on objects and files in Azure Storage.

But for the Delete discussion, you need to consider using soft delete.
