Spotify Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) CEO Daniel Ek said he has chosen to steer clear of competing in sports with his long-time friend and&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
What Happened: During a conversation on Acquired Podcast that was posted on YouTube on Monday, Ek was asked if their relationship amplifies their competitiveness.
In response, the Spotify CEO said, &#8220;The&nbsp;rule I have with Mark&nbsp;is I don't try to&nbsp;go into a competition with&nbsp;him because I know it'll&nbsp;end badly for both of&nbsp;us.&#8221;
He went on to speak about Zuckerberg&#8217;s intense competitiveness, even to the point of sustaining injuries, which has discouraged him from engaging in sports with the Meta CEO.
&#8220;The last time he sort of tore his ACL with someone rather than giving up, so I feel like it would end pretty badly,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I like playing when I know I'll win, so I think it's a pretty good thing not to do that.&#8221;

In the past few years, Zuckerberg has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34949713/from-evil-mark-to-great-philanthropist-meta-ceo-zuckerberg-opts-for-a-bill-gates-style-metamorphosis">embraced mixed martial arts</a> and surfing as new interests, giving him a fresh outlook and influencing his style along the way.
Last year in November it was reported that he&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35604744/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-tore-his-acl-while-training-for-a-competitive-mma-fight-undergoes-surgery">underwent surgery to repair</a> a torn knee ligament.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Sean Parker, an early investor in both Spotify and Facebook, introduced Ek and Zuckerberg in 2008. Their early talks focused on integrating Spotify with Facebook, a key move for the music-streaming platform&#8217;s growth when it was still invite-only.
In a separate interview last year, Ek <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2023/09/26/mark-gets-meta-zuckerberg-talks-ai-and-that-musk-mma-fight-thats-never-going-to-happen/?sh=4def5b513037">told</a> Forbes that Zuckerberg has learned from his experiences the good and bad, ignited fresh passion, and realized the need for responsible action.
&#8220;But there&#8217;s still some of the old Mark, where he is betting on things even though everyone tells him &#8216;this is never gonna work,'&#8221; he stated at the time.
The Spotify CEO was probably referring to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34789312/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-mocks-mark-zuckerbergs-36b-metaverse-gamble-genius-move">Zuckerberg's bold $100 billion investment</a> in the Metaverse. While this move initially shook Wall Street and Facebook's stock, the company has since rebounded.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek Says He Stays Away From Sports Competition With Facebook Co-Founder Mark Zuckerberg: 'I Know It'll End Badly For Both Of Us'

SiriusXM (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/siri#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>) finds itself at a critical juncture in 2024. The satellite radio giant has experienced a dramatic 56.8% decline in its stock price year to date, underperforming the broader Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector&#39;s return of 4.9% and raising questions about its future prospects and whether this presents a prime buying opportunity for astute investors.
SiriusXM&#39;s recent stock decline due to market volatility, interest rate concerns and digital media disruption arguably offers an attractive entry point for value investors. The strategic acquisition of Pandora has catapulted SiriusXM to the forefront of audio entertainment, boasting an unparalleled North American listener base exceeding 100 million. This merger combines SiriusXM&#39;s robust subscription model with Pandora&#39;s lucrative ad-based platform, creating a diversified revenue stream. The synergistic alliance enables cross-platform content distribution, potentially amplifying user engagement, advertiser appeal, and content creator attraction. With its enhanced scale, diverse content portfolio, and dual-model approach, SiriusXM is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the evolving digital audio landscape, offering substantial growth potential for long-term investors.
<h2>Year-to-Date Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/f9/79824.jpg?v=382191643" style="height:310px; width:620px" />

<h2>SIRI Expands Horizons in the Digital Audio Landscape</h2>
Despite a challenging stock performance, SiriusXM continues to demonstrate resilience and adaptability in the evolving audio entertainment landscape. The company&#39;s core business remains robust, with a dominant position in the in-vehicle audio entertainment space reinforced by long-standing partnerships with major automakers like Toyota and Ford. As the automotive industry shifts toward electric and autonomous vehicles, SiriusXM has strategically positioned itself as a key player in the future of in-car entertainment and information services.
SiriusXM&#39;s expansion beyond traditional satellite radio has been a game-changer. The company&#39;s investments in streaming capabilities and exclusive podcast content have allowed it to compete more effectively with pure-play streaming services. This diversification strategy has successfully tapped into younger demographics and expanded the subscriber base beyond car owners.
A significant milestone in this expansion was the launch of SiriusXM Podcasts+ in August. This new subscription service, available directly in Apple Podcasts, offers ad-free listening, exclusive bonus content and early access to new episodes of popular shows. The service includes high-profile podcasts like SmartLess and Last Podcast on the Left, among others. This move not only enhances SiriusXM&#39;s podcast offerings but also strengthens its position in the competitive podcast market.
The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into SiriusXM&#39;s platform has significantly improved its personalization capabilities. This technological advancement has enhanced user experience, increased listener engagement and improved retention rates. The ability to offer tailored content recommendations has become a key differentiator for SiriusXM in the crowded audio entertainment market.
From a valuation perspective, SiriusXM&#39;s current stock price presents an intriguing opportunity for long-term investors. The company&#39;s forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7.05 is significantly below the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry average of 28.57. While this discounted valuation could reflect market concerns, it also suggests a potential upside if the company continues to execute its growth strategy successfully.
<h2>SIRI&#39;s P/E F12M Ratio Depicts Discounted Valuation</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/21/79826.jpg?v=511534816" style="height:310px; width:620px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Looking ahead, SiriusXM is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging trends in the audio entertainment industry. The company&#39;s investments in voice-activated technology and integration with smart home devices are opening new avenues for growth. Moreover, SiriusXM&#39;s exploration of interactive and visual elements to complement its audio offerings could revolutionize consumer engagement with radio content.
SiriusXM&#39;s commitment to exclusive content remains a strong selling point. Recent high-profile deals with popular podcasters like Alex Cooper and musicians, including Coldplay, Eric Church, and Jelly Roll, have further enriched its content library, appealing to a diverse audience.
While challenges persist, including navigating the evolving landscape of digital rights and royalties, SiriusXM&#39;s management has demonstrated adaptability and forward-thinking leadership. The company&#39;s efforts to streamline its technology infrastructure and embrace cloud-based solutions are expected to yield operational efficiencies and cost savings in the coming years.
Despite a projected 2.19% year-over-year decline in revenues for 2024, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegged at $3.25 billion, the consensus estimate for earnings has moved up by 3.8% to $3.25 per share over the past 30 days. This suggests growing optimism about SiriusXM&#39;s profitability, even in a challenging market environment.

<h2>Tesla to Spotify: SIRI&#39;s Rivals Spell Trouble</h2>
Sirius XM faces intense competition in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving audio entertainment landscape, raising concerns about its future viability.
SiriusXM&#39;s traditional stronghold &mdash; the automotive sector &mdash; is facing unprecedented disruption. The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technology has opened the door for tech giants and innovative startups to challenge SiriusXM&#39;s once-unassailable position in in-car entertainment. Tesla, for instance, has been equipping its vehicles with its own entertainment system, bypassing traditional satellite radio altogether.
The streaming audio market, once viewed as a complementary service to SiriusXM&#39;s core business, has now become an existential threat. Spotify (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spot#NYSE">SPOT</a>), Apple&nbsp;Music and Amazon Music have continued to expand their user bases, offering personalized playlists, exclusive content and seamless integration across multiple devices.
While SiriusXM has invested heavily in podcast content and technology, it faces fierce competition from dedicated podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts, as well as newcomers like Substack and Patreon, which offer creators more control and monetization options.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
While SiriusXM&#39;s stock performance so far in 2024 has been disappointing, the company&#39;s strong market position, innovative strategies and dual-model approach make it an intriguing option for investors with a longer time horizon. The current dip in stock price could indeed represent a buying opportunity for those who believe in the company&#39;s ability to navigate the changing media landscape and capitalize on emerging technologies. SiriusXM currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

The AI Playlist, accessible within Spotify's mobile app, allows users to create customized playlists by simply describing what they want to hear. 
Subscribers can find this new tool by tapping the "+" button at the top right of their library and selecting "AI Playlist" from the drop-down menu. From there, they can describe their desired playlist, such as "spooky songs for Halloween" or "upbeat music for a workout."
As the service evolves, Spotify's AI continues to "actively learn and iterate with each exchange," according to an official statement from the company. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works</h1>
When users submit a text description, the AI generates a playlist of 30 songs, which can be further refined based on feedback. The tool recognizes descriptions of genres, moods, decades or specific artists.
The AI Playlist beta is currently available only on Spotify's mobile app, leaving desktop and web app users waiting for future updates.

Spotlight on Spotify Technology: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spot#NYSE">SPOT</a>) has seen its stock skyrocket 83% year to date, significantly outperforming the 23.4% rally of the industry.

Given the continuous strength in SPOT shares, investors may wonder if there is still an opportunity to invest in the stock. Let&#39;s take a closer look.
<h2>SPOT&#39;s Strong Growth Driven by Price Hikes, Podcast Gains</h2>
Spotify investors have many reasons to be optimistic when it comes to the company&#39;s financial results. Its premium subscriber revenues, which account for approximately 88% of total revenues, play a crucial role in its financial performance. Ad-supported revenues contribute the remaining 12%.
Premium subscribers grew 12%, and ad-supported monthly active users (MAUs) increased 15% in the second quarter of 2024. The growth in total MAU was also noteworthy, with a 14% year-over-year increase. Spotify increased its gross profit by 45% year over year, expanding its gross margin by 510 basis points. It also turned an operating loss of $247 million into a profit of $266 million over the year. The adjusted eps of $1.43 marked a substantial 184.6% year-over-year jump.
Spotify&#39;s performance has been bolstered by sustained price hikes, a loyal consumer base and significant cost reductions. The ability to raise prices while retaining and expanding its subscriber base is particularly noteworthy. This was the first quarter where premium subscriber growth outpaced ad-supported MAU growth sequentially, highlighting the effectiveness of Spotify&#39;s pricing strategy.
The recent price hikes, alongside those by competitors such as Alphabet&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) YouTube Premium, Apple&#39;s Music/TV and Amazon&#39;s Music Unlimited, underscore the industry&#39;s trend toward higher pricing.
Spotify is further expanding its content portfolio, aiming for a larger portion of its revenues to come from its podcasts and audiobooks. By boosting revenue from these high-margin content initiatives, Spotify could enhance its profitability, even if record labels take a tougher stance in negotiations. The profitability of podcasts is also on the rise, as the company shifts its strategy from using content investments primarily for subscriber growth to focusing on monetization.
By the second quarter of 2024, Spotify hosts over 250,000 video podcast shows, with more than 170 million users having watched a video podcast on the platform.
<h2>SPOT Stock is Still Cheap</h2>
Despite the significant rally over the past year, Spotify&#39;s stock remains relatively undervalued, suggesting potential for further appreciation. The stock is trading at a trailing 12-month price/sales ratio of 4.53X compared to the industry average of 8.76X. The trailing 12-month enterprise value/sales ratio stands at 3.95X compared to the industry average of 8.44X.

Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index shows no significant signs of overbought conditions, suggesting the stock isn&#39;t overextended.

<h2>SPOT has a Strong Liquidity Position</h2>
SPOT&#39;s liquidity position is robust, with a current ratio of 1.56 at the end of the second quarter of 2024 compared to the industry&#39;s 1.02. This robust liquidity reflects SPOT&#39;s ability to cover its immediate liabilities without strain, indicating financial stability and operational flexibility.
<h2>Analysts&#39; Confidence Reflected in Rising Estimates</h2>
Seven estimates for the third quarter of 2024 moved upward over the past 60 days versus no downward revision. Over the same period, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2024 earnings has increased 32.6% to $1.83. Earnings are expected to grow 408.3% year over year in the quarter.
Eight estimates for 2024 moved north over the past 60 days versus no southward revision. Over the same period, the consensus estimate for 2024 earnings has increased 26.2% to $6.31. Earnings are expected to grow 313.9% year over year in 2024.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SPOT&#39;s third-quarter 2024 sales stands at $4.38 billion, suggesting year-over-year growth of 19.8%. Revenues for 2024 are expected to increase 19.4% year over year.
<h2>Spotify is a Must-Buy</h2>
Given its solid fundamentals, undervaluation, and bullish momentum, Spotify is a must-buy for investors looking to capitalize on the growth of the music-streaming and podcasting sectors. Management anticipates a sequential increase of 13 million in total MAUs, a 5 million rise in total premium subscribers, a $193 million revenue boost, a 100 basis point expansion in gross margin, and a $139 million increase in operating income for the third quarter. So, now is an ideal time to invest before further appreciation solidifies SPOT&#39;s position as a market leader.
SPOT currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

JP 모건의 애널리스트 더그 앤무스(Doug Anmuth)는 스포티파이 테크놀로지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>)에 대해 비중확대(Overweight) 평가를 유지했다.
스포티파이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39902936/spotifys-q2-earnings-revenue-grows-20-as-premium-revenue-surge-drives-higher-average-revenue-per-us" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2024 회계연도 2분기</a> 매출이 전년 동기 대비 20% 증가한 40억 9,900만 달러를 기록했다고 보고했는데, 이는 분석가 합의인 41억 7,000만 달러에 못미치는 수치이다. 주당 순이익(EPS)은 1.43달러로, 합의된 추정치 1.15달러를 상회했다.
이 분석가는 스포티파이가 계속해서 좋은 성과를 거두고 음악, 팟캐스트 및 기타 수익 비용 전반에 걸쳐 의미 있는 이익 개선을 추진하고 있다고 말하면서 회사의 중기 재무 목표의 최저치를 달성한 3분기 총이익률 및 영업이익률 가이드를 인용했다.
앤무스는 스포티파이가 3분기 총마진을 30.2%로 제시했는데 이는 JP 모건의 추정치와 컨센서스인 28.6%를 훨씬 웃도는 수치라고 말했다.
3분기 영업 이익 가이드라인인 4억 500만 유로는 JP 모건의 추정치 및 컨센서스인 2억 8,100만 유로와 2억 9,800만 유로를 크게 웃돌았다.
앤무스는 마진의 강세가 단기적으로 주가 강세를 이끌 것으로 기대하고 있다.
앤무스는 스포티파이의 2분기 무료 현금 흐름이 4억 9천만 유로로 JP 모건의 추정치 및 컨센서스인 2억 1,500만 유로와 3억 3,600만 유로를 초과했으며 분기별 잉여 현금 흐름이 역대 최고라고 말했다.
이 분석가는 월간 활성 사용자(MAU)가 나머지 세계와 유럽을 중심으로 모든 지역에서 성장했으며 스포티파이는 계속해서 마케팅 활동을 재조정하고 있다고 지적했다.
프리미엄 구독자들은 강력한 프로모션 캠페인 참여와 함께 북미와 유럽을 중심으로 모든 지역에서 증가했다.
실적 발표 전화 회의에서 앤무스는 2024년 총 마진, 영업 이익, 잉여 현금 흐름의 주요 원동력에 대한 업데이트, 하반기 월간 활성 사용자와 프리미엄 구독자 순증가, 미국 가격 인상의 초기 영향과 국제 가격 인상의 주기, 요금제 계층화, 팟캐스트 성장 및 총 마진에 대한 업데이트를 요청할 것이다.
주가 움직임: 스포티파이의 주식은 정규 거래에서 11.96% 급등한 330.79달러에 마감했다. 이후 애프터마켓에서 0.99% 추가 상승했다.

Benzinga Pro의 독점 뉴스 및 도구로 더 많은 승리를 거두세요 
독점 속보 및 스캐너와 같은 Benzinga Pro의 강력한 도구 세트로 다른 트레이더보다 우위를 점하세요. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?t=be2bewe5mibe3bz3&amp;utm_source=bz-kor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">여기를 클릭</a>하여 14일 무료 체험을 시작하세요.

S&amp;P 500 기업들 중 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">14%가 6월 분기 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 더 넓은 지수를 구성하는 기업들의 혼합 실적 성장률은 여전히 ​​양호하다. 이번 주에는 기술 보고 시즌이 공식적으로 시작될 것이며, 이는 최근 주에 가파른 하락세를 보인 시장의 향방을 잠재적으로 결정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 사건: 기술주의 실적 시즌은 지난주 칩 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩 N.V.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 실적 발표로 와만하게 시작되었다. 이 회사의 주가는 약한 3분기 전망과 중국 칩 금지를 둘러싼 지정학적 우려로 인해 약 16% 하락했다. 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)의 지침은 투자자들을 실망시켰지만 증권사 측 분석가들이 결과에 열광하면서 주가는 크게 하락하지 않았다.
투자자들은 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 모건 스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) 및 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) 등 나머지 대형 은행들의 실적 보고서에 환호했다. 투자 은행 사업의 반등과 강력한 트레이딩 매출이 은행들의 매출을 강화하는 데 도움이 되었다.
팩트셋(FactSet)의 최신 실적 전망 조사 <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">보고서</a>에 따르면 이들 기업 중 80%가 예상보다 높은 주당 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 5년 평균인 77%와 비교된다. 평균 상승 여력은 약 5.5%이지만, 이는 5년 평균 상승률 8.6%보다 낮다.
관련 정보: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">지금 가장 핫한 기술주</a>
실적 트렌드: 팩트셋에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 기업들의 2분기 혼합 실적 증가율은 현재 9.7%로 전주의 9.1%보다 높아진 것으로 추정된다. 이 추정치가 달성되면 분기 실제 성장률은 2021년 4분기 이후 보고된 전년 동기 대비 가장 높은 성장률을 기록할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 2분기 역시 4분기 연속 성장을 기록할 것으로 보인다.
S&amp;P 500 11개 부문 중 8개 부문이 전년 동기 대비 실적 성장을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 그 중 통신 서비스, 의료, IT, 금융 부문 4개 부문이 두 자릿수 실적 성장을 기록할 가능성이 높다. 반면, 소재 업종을 중심으로 3개 업종의 실적 감소가 예상된다.
이번 주의 이슈: 이번 주에는 다우 30 지수 구성요소 7개를 포함해 S&amp;P 500 기업 138개 기업들의 실적 보고서가 나올 것이라고 팩트셋의 보고서가 밝혔다. 이번 주의 실적 발표 목록에는 통신, 자동차, 철강, 칩, 주택 건설, 방위, 항공 및 기술 산업의 기업들이 포함된다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)은 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 지수에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있어 주목받는 기업들 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 전년 동기 대비 주당 순이익이 91센트에서 62센트로 급격히 감소할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 매출은 훨씬 완만하게 0.80% 감소한 247억 3천만 달러를 기록했을 수 있다. 이 이익성에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 일론 머스크의 회사가 어려운 수요 환경에서 생산량을 늘리기 위해 의존해 온 가격 인하에서 비롯된다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">분석가들과 펀드 매니저들은</a> 회사가 해당 분기에 양호한 납품 실적을 보고한 후 낙관적이다. 하반기에도 반전이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
알파벳의 실적은 AI를 활용한 거대 기업들 중 최초로 분기별 실적을 발표하는 기업이기 때문에 중요하며, 이는 나머지 기업들의 실적 속도를 정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 지수가 사상 최고치에서 후퇴하면서 주식시장이 큰 타격을 입었다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 나스닥 100 지수의 성과를 추적하는 지수인 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)는 금요일 0.89% 하락한 475.24달러에 마감했다. 이 ETF는 7월 10일에 도달한 502.96달러의 사상 최고치보다 낮게 거래되고 있다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)도 금요일 0.66% 하락한 548.99달러로 마감했다.
이번 주 주목할 만한 실적 발표 기업은 다음과 같다:

엘론 머스크는 인도네시아에 스타링크의 위성 인터넷 서비스를 시작한 것에 대해 칭찬받았다. 이 동작은 이 회사가 이 나라의 원격 지역에 대한 연결성을 향상시키려는 목적으로 이뤄진 것으로 보인다.
엘론 머스크는 애플, 월트 디즈니 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NASDAQ">DIS</a>)와 같은 회사들이 틱톡에 광고를 게재한 것과 관련해 중요한 질문을 제기했다.
엘론 머스크는 X의 커뮤니티 노트(Community Notes)의 정확성을 칭찬했으며 이는 이 노트가 유저들의 헷갈리게 하는 게시물을 식별하는 데 있어서 효과적이라는 점을 강조한 것으로 보인다.

애플은 많은 기대를 모으는 9월 이벤트에서 아이폰 16을 공개할 예정이다. 새로운 아이폰은 특히 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/05/38919616/apples-groundbreaking-iphone-16-could-spark-another-stock-surge-building-on-an-800-growth-over-the-l" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">배터리 기술의 상당한 발전</a>을 통해 모바일 기술을 재정의할 것을 약속한다.
애플 아이폰 16 프로 맥스에는 에너지 밀도가 향상된 배터리와 스테인리스 스틸 하우징이 탑재될 것으로 예상된다. 또한 회사는 화웨이 테크놀로지스와 같은 현지 경쟁업체와의 경쟁이 치열해짐에 따라 중국에서 아이폰 모델에 대한 상당한 가격 인하를 시작했다.
애플은 회사를 상대로 한 미국 법무부의 독점 금지 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38955839/apple-challenges-dojs-antitrust-case-saying-the-court-should-reject-the-invitation-to-forge-a-new-th" target="_blank" rel="noopener">소송 기각</a>을 요청할 준비를 하고 있다. 애플은 인기 있는 에어태그(AirTag) 항목 추적기의 업그레이드 버전을 개발 중이며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38911822/upgraded-apple-airtag-with-advanced-chip-and-superior-location-tracking-set-for-2025-launch-says-mar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2025</a>년에 출시할 계획인 것으로 알려졌다.
애플은 유럽 연합이 부과한 19억 5천만 달러(18억 유로)의 벌금에 대해 이의를 제기하고 있다. 유럽연합은 스포티파이 테크놀로지 SA(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/spot" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for SPOT">SPOT</a>)와 같은 음악 스트리밍 서비스의 공정한 경쟁을 훼손했다는 이유로 이 거대 기술 기업을 비난하고 있다.
<h3 class="block core-block">일론 머스크</h3>
스페이스X의 CEO 일론 머스크는 인도네시아 원격 지역의 연결성 향상을 목표로 한 스타링크(Starlink)의 위성 인터넷 서비스를 인도네시아에서 출시한 것으로 찬사를 받았다.
머스크는 월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)를 포함한 회사들의 광고 선택에 대해 의문을 제기하면서크메타 플랫폼을 다시 한 번 조사했다.
머스크는 X의 커뮤니티 노트의 정확성을 칭찬하며 오해의 소지가 있는 게시물을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38979981/elon-musk-lauds-xs-community-notes-after-new-study-reveals-96-accuracy-great-work-by-the-notes-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">식별하는</a> 데 있어 효율성을 강조했다.

<h3 class="block core-block">인공 지능(AI)</h3>
MS의 CEO 사티아 나델라는 인공지능을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38955572/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-says-stop-treating-ai-like-humans-i-sort-of-believe-its-a-tool" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">인간과 같은 개체가 아닌</a> 도구로 보아야 한다고 강조했다.
메타의 CEO 마크 저커버그는 회사의 AI 및 기술 발전에 대한 지침을 제공하기 위해 새로운 자문위원회를 구성했다.
오픈AI의 CEO인 샘 올트먼은 배우 스칼렛 요한슨이 회사의 챗GPT 음성 비서의 목소리가 되기를 원했고, 지난 9월 그녀에게 연락했지만 그녀는 개인적인 이유로 제안을 거절했다고 이 여배우가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38951041/scarlett-johanssons-clash-with-openai-over-chatgpt-voice-reveals-dark-side-of-ai" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">성명</a>에서 말했다.
스칼렛 요한슨은 인공지능 기술을 사용해 자신의 목소리를 복제한 혐의로 오픈AI를 상대로 &#8216;변호사&#8217;를 고용했다.
오픈AI는 퇴사 계약 및 자산과 관련된 비방 금지 계약에서 전 직원 대다수를 해제하기로 결정했다.
현재 중국에서 사용할 수 없는 오픈AI의 AI 기반 챗봇인 챗GPT는 아시아 국가에서 새로운 경쟁자가 있는 것으로 보인다. 중국 최고의 인터넷 규제 당국은 시진핑 주석의 정치 철학을 바탕으로 대규모 언어 모델을 도입했다.
한때 아이폰의 잠재적 경쟁자로 여겨졌던 스타트업 휴메인(Humane Inc.)의 미래는 이제 불확실하다. 이 회사는 AI 하드웨어 제품에 대한 반응이 부진한 후 판매를 모색하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.
