🤓 🚀 News Picks of the Week
Pick #1
Our 30-Second Summary:
Author - Hari Kunzru - unexpectedly found himself embroiled in a battle against linguistic analysis site Prosecraft.
After noticing his work on the site, he suspected that the founder, Benji Smith, had acquired his catalog without permission. Kunzru tweeted about this, triggering a viral backlash from authors who felt violated by their work being analyzed without consent.
The Author's Guild was flooded with requests for help, and hundreds of cease-and-desist letters were sent to Prosecraft. In response, Smith shut down the site, apologizing for his actions. The incident sheds light on the growing AI backlash, as concerns about data use and consent intersect with technology's advancements.

Pick #3
Our 30-Second Summary:
Tel Aviv-based startup IVIX aims to combat financial crimes like tax evasion and money laundering using AI and machine learning. According to the IRS, the US loses $1 trillion annually due to tax evasion. IVIX employs AI and public business databases to assist government bodies in identifying tax noncompliance and other financial wrongdoing.
Founded in 2020 by Matan Fattal and Doron Passov, IVIX was born from Fattal's realization of the significant issue of financial crimes and the lack of technology available to address it. The startup seeks to bridge the technological gap in combating these crimes at both state and federal levels.
