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

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday 😀. Welcome to issue 20 of The Tech Stop.

Unethical AI deployments, alarming AI energy consumption, Bitcoin ETF nearing $100B, and AI-written marketing faux pas!

1. Companies deploying AI without the necessary ethical guardrails, risking reputational, legal, and financial damage. More.

   POV: Enforce an ethical AI framework covering transparency, bias-testing, oversight and human accountability.

2. AI is consuming massive electricity, threatening grid capacity and escalating CO₂ emissions, while surging demand for memory and storage is driving up costs and causing supply bottlenecks. More and More…

   POV: Architect for “green AI” and lock in storage supply with strategic partnerships.

3. IBIT Bitcoin ETF is rapidly approaching a $100 billion milestone, while US lawmakers propose tax exemptions for small Bitcoin payments. More and More…

   POV: Bitcoin is transitioning from a speculative asset to everyday money.

4. Customers are noticing AI-written marketing looks and sounds automated. Overused AI phrases, emojis, and formatting are measurably lowering open and click-through rates. More.

   POV: Use human editing and tone, and only use AI for ideas, not final copy, to protect brand authenticity.

And just for fun… Wordle for charts.

That’s all for now folks, see you next time… 😀
