Apple, Samsung, and ByteDance Clash in AI Race

Apple announced a "Special Apple Experience" event for March 4, sparking speculation about new hardware releases, while ByteDance faced backlash for its AI video tool, Seedance 2.0, which generated unauthorized content featuring copyrighted characters. Meanwhile, Samsung is increasingly using AI in its social media advertising, and digital twins are emerging as a tool to help manage health conditions like diabetes and obesity.

The Apple event, scheduled to begin at 9 AM ET on March 4, has fueled anticipation for potential announcements of new Macs and iPads, according to Ars Technica. The company has not explicitly stated what will be unveiled, but the event has led to speculation about hardware updates. Ars Technica will be present in New York City to cover the event.

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is taking steps to address concerns over its AI video tool, Seedance 2.0. The tool generated videos featuring copyrighted characters and deepfakes of celebrities, leading to cease-and-desist letters from Disney and Paramount Skydance, as reported by Ars Technica. Studios claimed the infringement was widespread, with users sharing AI videos of characters like Spider-Man and Darth Vader. ByteDance is now working to add safeguards to prevent the generation of such content.

Samsung has been incorporating AI into its social media presence, as noted by The Verge. The company has been using generative AI tools to create and edit videos across its YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok accounts. The Verge reported that the use of AI in these videos is not subtle.

In other news, digital twins are being utilized to help people manage health conditions. According to Wired, Rodney Buckley, a retired firefighter, lost 100 pounds in less than a year with the help of a digital twin. With the rising costs of medications like Ozempic, some employers are exploring non-medication alternatives.

In the realm of music, Laurie Spiegel, a pioneer in electronic music, is celebrating 40 years of her algorithmic composition software, Music Mouse, which brought algorithmic composition to home computers in 1986, according to The Verge. Spiegel discussed the difference between algorithmic music and AI, highlighting her work in the field.
