Apple's Reluctant App Store Changes & Semafor Tries AI News | EP 4
This week, we delve into two significant developments. First, we explore Apple's App Store changes, focusing on third-party payments [https://www.engadget.com/apple-updates-us-app-store-guidelines-allowing-developers-to-link-to-third-party-payments-235836357.html] in the US and the introduction of side-loading apps in the EU [https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/25/24050200/apple-third-party-app-stores-allowed-iphone-ios-europe-digital-markets-act]. This move, particularly impactful for app developers like Epic Games, tests the boundaries of compliance while offering new monetization avenues.
Next, we analyze Semafor's venture into AI-generated news with the launch [https://www.semafor.com/article/02/05/2024/introducing-semafor-signals] of Semafor Signals. Our discussion spans across the state of the media landscape today & how it came to be, comparison of their AI-generated content's quality to human-written articles, brand implications for media outlets using AI, and assessing AI's potential in journalism.
Follow us and join the conversation - every week, Viggy & James provide research-based deep dives on the latest news, company strategies and trends in tech.
