    • Youtube - Letter from Neal: Our 2023 Priorities

      • Linked Here

        • YouTube’s new head Neal Mohan penned his first letter to creators emphasizing that the company in the year ahead aims to continue supporting the community by giving them more tools to make money. He also touched on other 2023 priorities, including how YouTube is looking to experiment with generative AI and multiple formats like Shorts and podcasts, among other things.

    • BlueSky Social

      • In 2019, Twitter announced blue sky, a project it would fund to create an open and decentralized standard for social media. Since then, the bluesky community has been working together to better understand the existing decentralized web ecosystem, and outline the core tenets of what an open protocol for social media should include and the technologies on which it should be built. Today, we are excited to announce the formation of the Bluesky PBLLC, a Public Benefit LLC that will implement that vision as an independent organization. Our mission is to develop and drive large-scale adoption of technologies for open and decentralized public conversation. We were formed in late 2021 with the initial funding provided by Twitter. Our board members include Jack Dorsey, a founder of Twitter, Jeremie Miller, the inventor of Jabber/XMPP, and Jay Graber, CEO of the Bluesky company.

    • Radio GPT by FUTURI

      • Futuri is the leading provider of cloud-based audience engagement and sales intelligence software for media companies. This new AI-driven technology can broadcast everything on air from voice and music, find local news stories, and even create social media posts.

    • Meet your DJ

      • Spotify’s personalization technology, which gives you a lineup of music recommendations based on what we know you like. 

      • Generative AI through the use of OpenAI technology. We put this in the hands of our music editors to provide you with insightful facts about the music, artists, or genres you’re listening to. The expertise of our editors is something that’s really important to our philosophy at Spotify. 

      • We have experts in genres who know music and culture inside and out. And no one knows the music scene better than they do. With this generative AI tooling, our editors are able to scale their innate knowledge in ways never before possible.

      • A dynamic AI voice platform from our Sonantic acquisition that brings to life stunningly realistic voices from text.
