*Artificial intelligence will take personalization to incredible levels
 
See the present ― and the future.
 
IN THE NEWS
 
Following Facebook’s publisher update aimed at curtailing the spread of fake news stories, Rupert Murdoch stepped in with a suggestion of his own. In a statement, the News Corp. executive chairman said there is still a serious lack of transparency – and If Facebook wants to recognize “trusted” publishers it should pay those publishers a carriage fee similar to the model adopted by cable companies. “The publishers are obviously enhancing the value and integrity of Facebook through their news and content but are not being adequately rewarded for those services,” said Murdoch. “Carriage payments would have a minor impact on Facebook’s profits but a major impact on the prospects for publishers and journalists.”
