Weekly Update | Foldable iPhone | Google Gemini | Congress vs. Big Tech | Meta AI Content Tagging |

There is a whole lot happening at the intersection of tech, business, and human experience this week, but there were a few things in particular that made it to the top of my list.

Foldable iPhones - Out of the four, this is the lightest in terms of topics. In short, Apple is looking to get into the foldable device space, which leaves this question on my mind. Why?

Google Bard is now Gemini - OpenAI is probably the most prominent generative AI name out there, but they aren't the only big dog. This week Google has done some major work on Bard. So much so, they've completely rebranded it to Gemini, and what they've done is a lot more than slap on a fancy new name.

Congress vs. Big Tech - We often don't consider the longer-term and less obvious repercussions of major changes, and social media is no exception. We didn't really know how powerful of a tool we were handing out to the massess when it hit the main stage, and now we're seeing some of the longer-term effects. The question everyone seems to want answered is "who's to blame" but perhaps that's the wrong question to be asking.

Meta AI Content Tagging - While we may not be able to stop people from creating fake content with AI, we can hopefully help them be more informed by making them aware it was produced by AI. However, it begs the question, what is truly generated by AI, and what is AI-assisted? We we move into age of mistrust, these are important questions that need to be answered.
