AI ON MY MIND

Happy Thursday!

This is a SUPER late post because I’m just getting back from San Francisco.

I was invited to the bolt.new party, where the chainsmokers performed to kick off the Bolt’s $1m dollar hackathon.

It was really fun.

Especially because one of my students from the Micro App Accelerator came and joined us. Warren is one of my top students and even got a client from the event! I’m super proud of him.

Here is a pic of us (I’m in the bolt hoodie) before getting into the party.

What really blew me away during this trip was the driverless cars called Waymo’s.

They are like Uber but there is no driver. The car is driving it’s self. It was kinda crazy but by the fourth ride, I felt 100% comfortable and safe.

Anyway, sorry for the late issue.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

Apple’s Safari to Shake Up AI Search, Rocking Google’s $20B Deal

Apple is challenging Google's dominance in search by integrating AI-driven options into Safari, potentially altering the iPhone search ecosystem.

Why it matters: Apple's strategy could change the dynamics of smartphone-driven search markets, affecting Google's $20 billion annual revenue from its partnership.

Driving the news:

- Apple seeks to integrate AI-based search alternatives, like OpenAI, directly into Safari.

- This move sets the stage for renewed competition in the AI-enhanced search market.

Zoom in:

- A prototype indicates Apple's commitment to prioritizing privacy while enhancing search functionalities.

- Google views this as a significant disruption but remains prepared to adapt, according to industry insiders.

Yes, but: Implementing these changes will require intensive technological advancements and consumer adoption to succeed.

Be Smart: Apple's integration of AI could lead to a more diversified landscape for mobile search, pushing innovation and requiring traditional players to rethink strategies.

The bottom line: If successful, Apple's AI-enhanced search engine could reshape user search habits and revenue streams within the industry.

Zuckerberg Wants to Automate Ads. RIP Feed.

Why it matters: Meta's new AI-powered ad system could revolutionize digital marketing by drastically reducing human input.

What we found:

- The system auto-generates over 4,000 ad variations, a potential efficiency boost for advertisers.

How it works:

- Using AI, Meta can tailor ads swiftly, promising higher engagement by statistically optimizing content.

- This approach raises ethical questions concerning user experience and the future role of advertising professionals.

Yes, but: While efficiency gains are clear, the lack of human oversight might lead to ethical oversights or negative impacts on user engagement.

The bottom line: Meta's model could set a new norm for AI use in advertising, but it must address ethical challenges head-on.
