LG Ad Solutions is partnering with cloud data platform Databricks to provide Automated Content Recognition (ACR) data within the Databricks environment. This means Databricks users will know what consumers are looking at on LG TVs. Similarly, Samba TV is now providing ACR data for Aqulia, the ANA’s ad measurement system.

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, its AI-powered web browser, on macOS; Windows, iOS, and Android are expected to follow soon. It’s the latest example of OpenAI expanding beyond chat, along with Instant Checkout to buy within responses and plans for an ad platform. It also gives OpenAI a seat on the AI web browser bandwagon, joining Perplexity’s Comet, Opera’s Neon, and others.

Meta has announced agreements with USA Today, People Inc., and other news publishers to pay for access to their content and link to their articles in its AI chatbot. It’s a sharp contrast to Perplexity, which the Chicago Tribune and New York Times are separately suing for allegedly scraping content and bypassing paywalls. Despite this deal, Meta apparently still opposes compensating publishers for news links in social media posts.
