🐦 Twitter CEO Yaccarino gives first hint on shake-up plansLINK

The new CEO of Twitter, Linda Yaccarino, aims to build "Twitter 2.0" as the world's most accurate real-time information source.

Elon Musk's controversial takeover of Twitter led to layoffs and the return of far-right and controversial figures, causing criticism and scaring off top advertisers.

Yaccarino, formerly from NBCUniversal, plans to transform Twitter into an "everything app" and address content moderation, user safety, and product development to attract advertisers.

🤖 Amazon's battle against fake reviews using AILINK

Fake reviews can influence consumer purchasing decisions, leading to the need for measures against them.

Amazon has been using AI and investing in more advanced tools to detect and prevent fake reviews on its platform.

Through machine learning and AI, Amazon blocked over 200 million suspected fake reviews last year and supports the strengthening of legislation to combat fake reviews.

🎵 AI helps make 'final' Beatles songLINK

Paul McCartney used AI to extract and clean up John Lennon's vocals from an old recording for an upcoming track.

Peter Jackson helped extract Lennon's voice from a cassette using AI, allowing them to finish a demo that will be released as the last Beatles record.

McCartney performed songs with a cleaned-up Lennon vocal track during his recent tour and discussed the ethical implications of using AI to recreate artists.

🌐 Google hit with new antitrust chargesLINK

Google is facing a formal antitrust complaint from the European Union, potentially resulting in fines and targeting its ad tech business.

The EU's charges focus on Google's core ad tech business model, which generates about 80% of its annual revenue.

The investigation by the European Commission is part of ongoing scrutiny into Google's ad tech practices, and the company is also facing antitrust probes in the UK and legal challenges in the US.

🎮 FTC files to block Microsoft’s $69B Activision Blizzard acquisitionLINK

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is reportedly planning to file an injunction to prevent Microsoft's $68.7 billion merger with Activision Blizzard.

The injunction would halt the merger process, providing the FTC more time to develop its ongoing legal complaints against the deal.

Despite the FTC's actions and opposition from the UK's regulatory body, both Microsoft and Activision Blizzard are prepared to defend the transaction in court.

🚗 Cruise's autonomous vehicle hinders emergency response after mass shootingLINK

Cruise, GM's self-driving subsidiary, denies that one of its autonomous taxis hindered first responders at the scene of a mass shooting in San Francisco.

A video on Twitter showed a stalled Cruise autonomous taxi in the middle of the road, sparking criticism and accusations that it blocked emergency crews.

Cruise claims its car initially stopped near the scene but eventually pulled over, allowing all vehicles, including emergency response vehicles, to proceed, and a company employee later moved the car.
