Hand-picked News

Riyadh Air is building itself from the ground up with AI baked into every part of its operations.

  • AI everywhere: From booking to baggage handling, the airline promises automation and personalization at scale.

  • IBM partnership: Riyadh Air is working with IBM to deploy watsonx tools across customer and employee experiences.

  • No legacy baggage: Unlike traditional carriers, it’s designed as an AI-native enterprise from day one.

Founded in 2023 by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Riyadh Air plans to start commercial flights in 2026. By embedding AI into its DNA, it aims to leapfrog older airlines still patching legacy systems.

✅ Why it matters: Aviation is notoriously slow to innovate. An airline that’s AI-native could set a new benchmark for efficiency, personalization, and cost savings.

⚠️ But it also raises questions about over‑automation and whether passengers will trust algorithms with their travel experience.

Quick insight: If you’re in travel or tech, watch this closely - AI-native design could become the new gold standard across industries, not just airlines.

The streamer is betting big that podcasts can replace daytime talk shows and it’s gunning straight at YouTube.

  • Netflix just signed deals with iHeartMedia and Barstool Sports, adding to its Spotify partnership.

  • YouTube users now watch over 700M hours of podcasts per month on TVs, a massive jump from last year.

  • Netflix is rumored to be in talks with SiriusXM, signaling a full‑scale push into video podcasts.

As traditional TV fades, Netflix is searching for low‑cost, high‑engagement formats. Podcasts already gaining popularity on YouTube could be the next frontier for keeping viewers engaged on the platform.

👀 Why it matters: If Netflix nails this, it could redefine streaming by making podcasts a mainstream living‑room experience.

âś… For creators, this means new distribution deals and potentially bigger checks.

⚠️ For YouTube, it’s a direct competitive threat.

OpenAI just rolled out fresh protections for teens using ChatGPT right as lawmakers debate whether AI needs national guardrails for minors.

  • OpenAI updated its Model Spec to include teen‑specific rules and guidance.

  • New resources aim to boost AI literacy for teens and parents, making chatbot use less risky.

  • 42 state attorneys general are pressing Big Tech to adopt stronger protections, citing mental health concerns.

Teens are among the most active ChatGPT users, spending hours daily with AI tools. Reports have raised alarms about emotional reliance and misinformation risks.

⚠️ Why it matters: This is the first time OpenAI has explicitly carved out rules for under‑18 users. It signals both industry responsibility and mounting government oversight. If AI becomes a daily companion for Gen Z, the stakes are massive.

👀 Quick insight: If you’re building AI products, expect youth safety standards to become a competitive differentiator and possibly a legal requirement.
