🗞️ News

Google is paying publishers

Google is paying some news publishers five-figure sums annually to test an unreleased AI content generation platform.

As part of the agreement, publishers must use the tools to publish 3 articles per day summarizing reports from other sources. The program aims to help smaller publishers produce content efficiently.

Adobe’s music AI

Adobe has announced a new prototype AI tool, Project Music GenAI Control, allowing users to generate and edit music without professional audio experience.

It uses text prompts to generate music in different styles, and integrated editing controls let users customize the generated audio by adjusting elements like tempo, patterns, and structure.

Slack’s report on AI

Slack Workforce Lab found that AI use increased 47% over the last quarter, with over 1 in 4 UK desk workers now using AI. Those using AI report improved productivity.

On average, UK workers spend nearly half their time on low-value, repetitive tasks that could be automated, freeing them up for more meaningful work. AI can help with that

That’s all.

Stay curious, leaders!
