ALT Samsung Electronics has announced that it has signed a business agreement with Naver Financial to promote the mobile payment experience. With this agreement, both the companies "started collaborating in the payment and wallet sector, promising to continue working together for a more convenient digital life for users", the tech giant said in a blogpost on Monday. Through the collaboration, Samsung Pay users will be able to enjoy an enhanced online payment experience, and users of Naver Pay will enjoy a better offline payment experience.

ALT Google Inc’s new experimental AI service, ‘Bard’, which was developed as an answer to Microsoft’s ChatGPT, delivered inaccurate information in its promotional video. Shares of the company tumbled 7.8 percent on the Nasdaq exchange in the regular trading hours on February 8, and were largely flat in the after-hour trading. The error was caught by Reuters few hours before Bard’s launch event in Paris. In the video showing Bard in action, the chatbot responds to a question about what to tell a 9-year old about new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), saying that the JWST was used to take pictures of a planet outside the Milky Way. This is not true.

ALT “AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “Today, we’re launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web.” There are 10 billion search queries a day, but we estimate half of them go unanswered. That’s because people are using search to do things it wasn’t originally designed to do. It’s great for finding a website, but for more complex questions or tasks too often it falls short.

ALT Prior to the call, Google management referred to ChatGPT as “code red” since the AI-powered platform had received favourable response from users all around the world. Google said in a blog post that it is making Bard available to “trusted testers” ahead of making it broadly available to the public in the coming weeks. ChatGPT, on the other hand, has surpassed 100 million users in just two months.

ALT Twitter is in a hurry to make money, and in another step that might lead to some revenue it has expanded the Twitter Blue subscription to six new countries. The paid plans are now available in Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain making it 12 regions in total to which users can subscribe to it. The company also launching a new Spaces tab with curated stations for live and recorded spaces along with podcasts. Users without a Twitter Blue subscription can access the Spaces tab already but it mostly shows what live audio sessions are currently going on. Twitter is also bringing back themed stations that list Spaces station by topics. The company already started testing it in August before Musk took over. But in the last few months, Spaces had almost no curation because of the layoffs. Now, the social network might be relying on algorithms to group related real-time audio conversations together.
