AI NEWS TODAY

Apple Ditching Google Soon?

Apple is exploring new AI-powered search options for Safari. Eddy Cue confirmed the company is evaluating top AI providers. The move could reshape mobile search and challenge Google’s dominance.

Key Insight:

  • Apple's AI Search Plans: Apple’s Eddy Cue revealed during Google’s antitrust trial that the company is actively testing AI search features for Safari. He noted current tools aren’t ready for prime time.

  • Partnership Talks Underway: Apple has already spoken with Perplexity, OpenAI, and Anthropic about potential collaborations. Cue stressed the importance of flexibility as AI evolves quickly.

  • Google’s $20 Billion Deal: Google pays Apple around $20 billion to remain Safari’s default search engine. This deal brings significant revenue through ad shares from Safari searches.

  • Search Volume Drops for First Time: Cue shared that Safari searches dipped last month—something that hasn’t happened in 22 years. Less search activity means less revenue from Google.

  • What This Means for AI: Apple’s move signals a shift toward integrating generative AI into core tools. With Siri already using ChatGPT and Gemini nearing iPhone integration, change is coming fast.

If Apple adopts AI search broadly, it could transform how users find information. As Safari usage declines, Apple may speed up its AI search rollout, marking a turning point in mobile search and AI adoption.

OpenAI hires former head of the Facebook app

OpenAI has appointed Fidji Simo, former head of the Facebook app and current Instacart CEO, as the new head of its apps business. This move allows CEO Sam Altman to focus more on research, compute, and safety. Simo brings deep experience in scaling major tech platforms.

Key Insight:

  • Fidji Simo’s Background: Simo spent over a decade at Facebook, leading the app from 2019 and overseeing features like News Feed, Stories, and live video. She later became CEO of Instacart in 2021 and led the company through its public listing.

  • Transition to OpenAI: Simo will remain at Instacart until a successor is named. She joined OpenAI’s board in 2023 and now steps into this new executive role while maintaining her commitment to Instacart in the short term.

  • Growth of OpenAI’s Apps: With ChatGPT now available across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, apps have become central to OpenAI’s strategy. The company is also developing a social network similar to X, signaling deeper investment in consumer-facing tools.

  • Leadership Shifts: This leadership change reflects OpenAI’s growing focus on expanding its consumer reach. By hiring a seasoned tech executive, OpenAI aims to strengthen its product execution and user engagement strategies.

What’s Next for OpenAI:
Simo’s appointment highlights the importance of experienced leadership in scaling AI applications. As OpenAI continues to grow, her role will be key in shaping how millions interact with AI tools daily.

AI Innovations: Startup Spotlight

Your AI Side Hustle Just Got Easier (and More Profitable)

Hey there, AI enthusiast! šŸ‘‹

Ever thought about turning your ChatGPT wizardry or Midjourney mastery into a recurring income stream? Like, getting paid every month just for sharing what you already know? The secret sauce isn’t selling one-off courses or ebooks—it’s building a community of learners who stick around. Let’s break down how to do this without sounding like a robotic textbook.

Step 1: Ditch the ā€œAI Guruā€ Act (Seriously)

Nobody trusts a self-proclaimed ā€œexpertā€ who claims to know everything about AI. Instead, focus on a hyper-specific niche where you can add real value.

  • Example: ā€œAI for Overwhelmed Solopreneursā€ or ā€œAutomate Your Side Hustle with No-Code AIā€.

  • Why it works: People pay for solutions to their problems, not generic ā€œAI is coolā€ fluff.

Step 2: Teach Like You’re Texting a Friend

Forget formal webinars. Your audience is scrolling TikTok and Instagram—they want snacks, not a 7-course meal.

  • Try this: Host 10-minute ā€œAI Tool of the Weekā€ livestreams on Zoom (record and repurpose them!).

  • Tools to use: Loom for quick tutorials, Canva for eye-catching cheat sheets, or even a private WhatsApp group for Q&A.

Step 3: The ā€œNetflix Modelā€ of Monetization

Subscription fatigue is real, but people will pay monthly if you deliver consistent value.

  • Tiered pricing:

    • $10/month: Access to your AI tool library + weekly tips.

    • $25/month: Monthly live workshops + personalized feedback.

    • $50/month: VIP ā€œOffice Hoursā€ for troubleshooting their AI workflows.

  • Platforms: Patreon, Podia, or even a private LinkedIn group (yes, seriously).

Step 4: Let Your Students Do the Marketing

Turn your learners into evangelists.

  • Example: Offer a free month to anyone who refers a friend.

  • Pro tip: Share student wins in your newsletter (ā€œShoutout to Sarah—she used AI to 2X her freelance writing income!ā€).

The Golden Rule: Stay Human

AI moves fast, but your audience cares about trust, not the latest algorithm. Show your face, share your fails (ā€œI accidentally trained ChatGPT to write limericks about kaleā€), and keep the vibe ā€œcozy coffee chat,ā€ not ā€œcorporate seminar.ā€

šŸ”„ Hot Take of the Week:
The biggest AI opportunity isn’t using tools—it’s helping others stop being scared of them. Charge for clarity, not complexity.

Until next time, keep it weird (and profitable),
