NEWS 📰 

Elon declares war on AI bots at Twitter

Elon is ruffling some feathers at the blue bird app, as he put a limit on the number of tweets users can read (a strange move for a content company) and blamed it on AI companies aggressively scraping the website for data.

Here’s what current restrictions look like:

• Unverified accounts → 600 posts per day

• New unverified accounts → 300 posts per day

• Verified accounts → 6,000 posts per day

Musk has previously banned ChatGPT from scraping Twitter data. The move suggests a broader shift in his approach to controlling and monetizing access to data.

INSIGHTS 🧠

Just because we can’t trust AI (yet) doesn’t mean we should fear it

Enterprises just don’t trust Generative AI. And who can blame them? It's unreliable, inaccurate, and may pose a security risk.

But all of these fears will slowly but surely subside with time. As with cloud computing and open-source software before it, enterprises will eventually overcome its challenges - like deepfakes and bias - and make AI an integral part of how they run their businesses.
