Microsoft’s new AI-powered Bing search engine has received positive feedback from 71% of testers, according to a blog post released by the company on Thursday. The search engine has also seen an increase in engagement with traditional search results as well as its new chat feature
Elon Musk made an announcement on Twitter last week stating that Twitter will begin compensating creators for ad revenues generated from ads that appear in the reply threads of their tweets. However, there is a catch. In order to qualify for this revenue-sharing program, creators must enroll in Twitter Blue Verified, which costs $8 per month
At a Tuesday industry gathering, Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s Consumer CMO, declared the newly upgraded Bing, fueled by AI technology, as the “future of search and browsing” that will rival Google. The improved Bing chatbot, introduced shortly after Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI (the parent company of ChatGPT), will utilize the more advanced Prometheus model (neither entity is referring to it as the highly anticipated GPT-4), enhancing the accuracy of answers, providing quicker search outcomes, and considering the user’s location in query responses.

Senator Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, has urged Apple and Google to delete TikTok from their app stores over security issues.

ChatGPT caused a buzz in December for its ease-of-use, uniqueness, and accuracy, attracting over one million users in just five days and continuing to gain popularity. However, the AI platform faces numerous challenges and limitations. One is the fear of AI, including ChatGPT, replacing a significant portion of the workforce, particularly for knowledgeable workers such as designers, copywriters, and programmers.
Prices for everything seem to be skyrocketing, but for the hottest segment of the digital advertising market—retail media—the exact opposite is true. After rising throughout much of 2021, prices have not only gone negative but plummeted to double-digit declines.
The downturn in advertising is set to continue well into 2023. A recent survey by the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) revealed that nearly 30% of major advertisers are planning to cut their ad budgets next year. 74% cited the current economic situation as the reason for these decisions.
In order to curry favor with regulators and perhaps get a leg up in the discussion around privacy and data, it seems TikTok may do the unthinkable – it may lift the veil on its recommendations algorithm.
