*These social media platforms, except for one, have added AI protections*

YouTube has become the latest social media platform to roll out labels that flag content on its website that contain artificial intelligence. The latest move, which YouTube announced on Nov. 14, aims to give users more transparency on the trustworthiness of the content they are viewing. “We have long-standing policies that prohibit technically manipulated content that misleads viewers and may pose a serious risk of egregious harm,” said YouTube in a blog post. “However, AI’s powerful new forms of storytelling can also be used to generate content that has the potential to mislead viewers — particularly if they’re unaware that the video has been altered or is synthetically created.” The social media giant said that in the next few months, it plans to require creators on its platform to disclose whether they used AI to alter their content. It also plans to give users the option to request the removal of videos that contain AI or other altered content that “simulates an identifiable individual, including their face or voice, using our privacy request process.” YouTube is also rolling out the same protections for artists by allowing music partners to request deletion of AI-generated music content that “mimics an artist’s unique singing or rapping voice.”Related: YouTube is cracking down on consumers’ favorite loophole “In determining whether to grant a removal request, we’ll consider factors such as whether content is the subject of news reporting, analysis or critique of the synthetic vocals,” said the company in the blog post. The announcement of these additional AI protections from YouTube come after other social media giants have doubled down on AI use on their platforms. Last week, Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, announced that it is requiring political advertisers to publicly disclose any AI use in their ads. Also in September, TikTok also added a new label that discloses AI-generated content on their platform. Social media platforms have been shoring up AI protections on their websites amid complaints from users and content creators about the spread of misinformation. These new protections also come before an upcoming presidential election season. X not yet cracking down on A.I. The only other large social media platform that has yet to crack down on AI use is X. Elon Musk, the owner of X, has recently expressed his support for AI regulation but said it will be “annoying.” Regulation “will be annoying, it’s true,” Musk said on stage at the UK AI Safety Summit earlier this month, “but I think we’ve learned over the years that having a referee is a good thing.”

*Home Depot sends a very different message about the economy*

As the holidays approach and consumers begin assessing their budgets to determine who'll make their shopping lists and who might get a card or just coal, retailers must do everything to ensure that their sales are robust. Many chains must sharpen their competitive edges, attempt to attract new customers and please current ones. Related: Popular restaurant chain makes move customers will hate Not an easy effort — and perhaps especially hard in 2023. On Wednesday the U.S. Census reported that October retail sales shrank for the first time since March, by 0.1%. Here's a breakdown on exactly where consumers are spending less, compared with the month prior: Furniture stores: down 2%Motor vehicle and auto shops: down 1%Sporting goods stores: down 0.8% Some areas of the market struck cheerier notes. Consumer spending ticked up in the following divisions: Health and personal care stores: up 1%Food and beverage shops: up 0.6%Electronics stores: up 0.6% This puts large retailers who cater to all the above divisions in an interesting spot. Where beauty and wellness shop Ulta ULTA is primed to be optimistic about the coming holiday season, other large chains might not be counting on doorbusters to save their fiscal Q4s. Home Depot HD, on the other hand, seems poised and ready for good news. 'Worst of inflation is behind us': Home Depot Home Depot, which saw unprecedented success during the pandemic as folks stayed home and had more time to focus on DIY projects, saw its third-quarter sales slip a bit from the year-earlier period. In its Q3-earnings report, Home Depot reported sales were down 3.1% year-over-year — but the news is not all bad. That figure beat Wall Street's estimates of a 3.3% decline, and earnings per share came in at $3.81, higher than the expected $3.76. Digital sales increased 5%. Customers shop at a Miami Home Depot store on Nov. 14, 2023. Joe Raedle/Getty Images But Home Depot doesn't see the wobbling figures as a warning sign. Quite the opposite. "[The] most important observation we've made is that the worst of the inflationary environment is behind us," Chief Financial Officer Richard McPhail said on the earnings call. "And as a result, as Billy said, retail prices are settling in the market." [Billy is Billy Bastek, HD's executive vice president of merchandising.] "Some prices are settling at levels higher than 2022; others are settling lower. But we're seeing some stabilization there," McPhail added. HD focusing on Black Friday, gift center events Home Depot also reiterated that while pricing seems to be stabilizing, the Atlanta retailer intends to ramp up holiday efforts to build and capture enthusiasm for sales and deals in-store. "As we turn our attention to the fourth quarter, we intend to continue this momentum with our annual holiday Black Friday and gift center events," Bastek said. Customers are increasingly discerning about deals and where their money goes, so while Home Depot expects a successful holiday season, it isn't getting carried away with overselling the potential impact it might have on the bottom line. "As it relates to promotional activity whatsoever, we have events in our stores that we love to execute and drive excitement for our customers," Bastek said. "But from a promotional activity standpoint, it's really reverted back to precovid times. ... "Our pricing has certainly ... settled over the last several months. The environment certainly stabilized, so, you know, we operate ... in a very rational market and promotional environment, as I said, just as a return to kind of prepandemic times."
