AJAX itself is a collection of technologies... it would depend on exactly how you are using AJAX on your page.

Googlebot and spiders don't use javascript, so if your using ajax to update content on the website then it wont be spidered.

Ajax is designed primarily to be used to improve user interaction, particularaly in RIA situations where search engines aren't relavent. In the case that you use AJAX in your public areas, you should make sure it degrades properly so users without javascript and the engines have an acceptable experience without the AJAX.
