Amazon Stock (AMZN) Makes Headlines on AI Training Deal With NY Times
Amazon (AMZN) stock made some headlines today when it sealed a first-ever AI training deal with the New York Time s (NYT). Confident Investing Starts Here: Recipes and Sport Only two years after the New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft (MSFT) for copyright infringement, the iconic newspaper revealed that it had agreed to license its editorial content to Amazon to train the tech giant's AI platforms. Amazon stock was up 1% in early trading as was NYT. Besides news articles, material will also include NYT Cooking, a site dedicated to food and recipes, and The Athletic, its sports-focused site. The company also noted that Amazon's use of The Times's editorial content could extend to Alexa software on its smart speakers. The Times said it was the first time it had agreed to a licensing agreement with a focus on generative AI. technology. 'The deal is consistent with our long-held principle that high-quality journalism is worth paying for,' said The Times chief executive Meredith Kopit Levien. GenAI Growth The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it's also the first such agreement for Amazon. This contrasts with OpenAI which has signed a number of deals with publishers including The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Guardian, NewsCorp, Axel Springer, and more. Back in 2023, The Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft after accusing them of using millions of articles it published to train their AI models without consent or compensation. Both OpenAI and Microsoft have rejected accusations of wrongdoing. This new stance shows the desire of publishers to control how their editorial content is used by tech firms, but also an understanding of the relentless rise in demand for generative AI.

Why employers need to up the ante on generative AI training
The way we work is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven not only by the rise of generative AI (GenAI) but also by the evolving values and expectations of a workforce undergoing demographic change. Sometimes, these two factors intertwine, and this has implications for employers. With Gen Zs and millennials set to represent about three-quarters of the global workforce by 2030, their approach towards technology like AI is defined by enthusiasm and scepticism in equal measures. According to Deloitte's latest annual Gen Z and Millennial Survey, 67 per cent of Australian millennials and almost half of Australian Gen Zs already use GenAI in their day-to-day work, with most reporting the quality of their work has improved as a result. Yet at the same time, around two-thirds of both groups worry about the prospect of job losses from the technology they are enthusiastically taking up. A similar number say the increasing adoption rate of AI is prompting them to look for job opportunities that are less vulnerable to automation. This dichotomy is easy to explain: those who use AI fully understand its potential and feel they may be left behind as the technology rapidly advances. Employers should respond to these growing concerns by upping the ante on AI training for their people, helping people make sense of what's changing and why it matters as the technology becomes increasingly embedded in workplaces and the economy. Pip Dexter is Chief People and Purpose Officer at Deloitte Australia Whether that's by directly providing learning modules or courses or by encouraging or empowering employees to undergo further study, Gen Zs and millennials make it clear that they want their employers to offer more training opportunities. More than eight in 10 Australian respondents say formal training programs are helpful to their career growth, and more than half expect their employer to offer teaching and mentoring opportunities. Yet, when it comes to AI, only 14 per cent of Gen Zs and 21 per cent of millennials have completed some kind of training. Additionally, the survey picked up considerable scepticism from both groups concerning the actual value of higher education and revealed that it wasn't a practical pathway for many. Around 40 per cent of both groups are financially constrained from undergoing further study. Almost half of all millennial respondents, who are more likely to have kids than their Gen Z counterparts, said family and personal responsibilities kept them away. The bottom line is that for Australian Gen Z and millennials, workplace AI learning isn't a perk, it's a critical pathway to progress. Employers who facilitate further learning in this area won't just benefit from AI proficient employees – they may also see a boost in employee retention and engagement. Through our own experience rolling out AI and GenAI training opportunities to all staff, we've learnt the importance of tailoring learning opportunities to suit the roles and responsibilities of different groups of employees. For example, at Deloitte, we have around 400 GenAI 'champions' who research and disseminate AI best practice, compliance and innovations among the broader Deloitte community, helping people utilise AI best in their specific role or function. It's important to take an innovative approach because beyond basic introductory modules, a one-size-fits all approach to AI education won't help your people get the most out of the technology. An interesting example of how GenAI usage can differ is found in the GenZ and millennial survey. When asked how they most frequently used the technology, both demographic groups said it was most useful for generating content and analysing data. Of course, these are well-established GenAI capabilities. The difference came when more than one-third of Australian millennials – who are more likely to be in management positions – indicated they are increasingly leaning on the technology to assist them with strategy planning and employee training. This shows how the use case of AI for the average employee is moving beyond automating lower-value work to encapsulate higher-value, more conceptual tasks. And as Agentic AI becomes more prevalent, its ability to perform tasks autonomously with minimal intervention will only increase the technology's application across a range of functions. Showing and teaching employees across the full sweep of the organisation how they can best use AI technology in the context of their own role should be the central goal of a business-wide AI education strategy. But in doing so it is also important to emphasise the continuing relevance of soft skills, such as imagination, communication, and relationship building. As technology plays a larger role in the workforce, the continuing importance of these uniquely human capabilities will only magnify, not diminish. Leaders need to create a culture where AI doesn't feel like a risk but a tool to embrace wholeheartedly and with confidence. Building AI literacy isn't just about productivity or retention; it's about building employee confidence and trust in the systems shaping the future of work.

Meta faces row over plan to train AI with European users' personal data
VIENNA, May 14 — A Vienna-based privacy campaign group said today it has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Meta, after the tech giant announced plans to train its artificial intelligence models with European users' personal data. The move comes after Meta said last month it would push ahead with plans to use personal data from European users of its Instagram and Facebook platforms for AI technology training from May 27, despite criticism over its legality. Meta has been hit with multiple privacy complaints in Europe, but cited a 'legitimate interest' to process personal data for AI training. The privacy group, the European Center for Digital Rights — also known as Noyb ('None of Your Business') — threatened to file an injunction or class-action lawsuit against Meta if it does not halt plans. 'Meta's absurd claims that stealing everyone's (personal) data is necessary for AI training is laughable,' Noyb founder Max Schrems said in a statement. 'Other AI providers do not use social network data — and generate even better models than Meta,' he added. When Meta AI first launched in the European Union in late March, the tech giant was at pains to point out that the chatbot was not trained on data from European users. Its rollout on the continent was delayed by more than a year as a result of overlapping European regulations on emerging technologies, including user data, AI and digital markets. Following the complaints, Meta temporarily put its AI plans on hold in June 2024, before recently announcing it would go ahead with them. 'It is... totally absurd to argue that Meta needs the personal data of everyone that uses Facebook or Instagram in the past 20 years to train AI,' Schrems said, adding the plans were 'neither legal nor necessary'. 'Meta simply says that (its) interest in making money is more important than the rights of its users,' he said, adding that users could simply be asked for their consent. With about 400 million estimated Meta users in Europe, the approval of 10 per cent of them would 'already clearly be sufficient' for AI language training and the like, Schrems said. Launched in 2018, Noyb has taken several court proceedings against technology giants, often prompting action from regulatory authorities. — AFP
