AI, crypto, and quantum are rewriting the rules — adapt fast or fall behind

4 little bits of Tech, that you might find interesting…

Hi folks, happy Tuesday :). Welcome to this issue of The Tech Stop — number 17.

Google faces lawsuits, enhances Chrome with AI, US OKs crypto ETFs, and quantum computing speeds up!

1. Google is being sued by the owner of Rolling Stone and Variety, over its AI Overviews: They allegedly reduce site traffic and subscription revenue. More, More and More…

   POV: Review how content is shown in AI search summaries, or risk losing traffic, revenue, and control.

2. …and Big G is embedding its AI into its Chrome browser to offer summarisation across tabs, task automation, and AI-search from the address bar. More and More…

   POV: Assess how content is exposed when AI features in the browser reduces site visits and changes user expectations.

3. The US SEC has approved generic listing standards for spot-crypto and commodity-based ETFs, allowing various crypto assets to be launched under streamlined rules. More.

   POV: Crypto in every form — not just Bitcoin and Eth — is here to stay; can you launch crypto-adjacent products?

4. Real-world quantum computing may arrive within years rather than decades, and promises practical advances in compute, simulation, optimisation, and cryptography. More.

   POV: Evaluate how emerging capabilities could disrupt or enhance your business, and build quantum-resilience into your security.

And just for fun… This Star Wars galaxy is massive!

That’s all for now folks, catch you next week 🙌
