Weekly Bytes: Highlights from the Paris AI Summit, Apple’s New Health Study Launch, and BuzzFeed’s Bold Social Media Strategy

Happy Friday! It’s time for the “Tech Bytes: Week in Review.” This week, we have some exciting stories to share, including Apple’s new health study and BuzzFeed’s venture into social media.

First up, the U.S. is taking a stand on global AI regulations. At the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that AI needs rules to avoid becoming the “Wild West.” In contrast, U.S. Vice President JD Vance highlighted the intention to prioritize AI development without focusing too much on risks. This difference in approach raises questions about how countries will handle AI’s future.

Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes sat down with Jewel Burks Solomon of Collab Capital to dive deeper into these topics during this week’s “Tech Bytes.” You can catch their conversation in the video below:
