Hi, it’s Jamie, Senior Intern at the CDP Institute Department of the Obvious.  Today we have a report from the Content Marketing Institute that finds nearly half (46%) of writers and editors are worried that generative AI will reduce their income and almost as many (45%) think it will reduce the number of jobs in their field.  The only thing that’s not obvious is why 17% of respondents aren’t worried about AI at all.

It’s always obvious that leaders in every department overstate their importance.  The latest reminder comes from Jitterbit, which found that 75% of IT leaders say their department is the main driver of automation efforts while just 29% of marketing and human resources leaders agree.  Respondents say 51% of integration projects are managed by central IT compared with just 11% managed by business departments, but remember that the majority of respondents work in IT.

The U.S. Department of Justice has formally requested the sale of the Chrome browser among other measures following last August’s guilty verdict in its search advertising antitrust suit (not to be confused with last week’s guilty verdict in the adtech antitrust lawsuit). Google is asking for a much narrower focus on deals to be the default search engine for Apple, Mozilla and others. There will be a three-week hearing on the government’s proposals.
