This emerging discussion, called “AI welfare,” is dividing tech leaders. Microsoft’s AI chief, Mustafa Suleyman, called the study of AI welfare “premature and dangerous,” arguing that it could worsen issues like unhealthy attachments to chatbots. He believes […]

However, the company’s track record in theaters has been less impressive. Box office returns have often fallen short of its ambitious budgets, with the spy thriller “Argylle” proving to be a spectacular failure. In response, Apple reportedly decided last year to reduce spending and scale back […]

- [Amazon disputes report that it raised prices of popular items since Trump took office](https://enterpriseworldnews.com/amazon-disputes-report-that-it-raised-prices-of-popular-items-since-trump-took-office/): Amazon is contesting a Wall Street Journal investigation into rising prices on its platform.
