Amazon will let sellers paste a link so AI can make a product page

Amazon is introducing a new AI feature that allows sellers to easily create product pages by simply pasting a link. The generative AI technology will extract information from the seller's external website and automatically generate a product page on Amazon, complete with a description and images. This aims to streamline the process of bringing products from outside sources onto Amazon's platform. However, Amazon emphasizes that sellers must have legal rights or ownership of the linked content to avoid potential legal issues. The feature is currently rolling out to US sellers.

Amazon India set to tweak seller fees ahead of festive season

Amazon India is reducing its seller fees for several product categories in preparation for the festive season.

Your Google Docs are (probably) safe from AI training

Google Docs can be a chaotic mess, with many untitled documents and half-written notes. When it was revealed that Google used "publicly available" Docs for AI training, people were concerned if their documents were included. However, Google clarified that simply sharing a document with anyone who has the link does not make it public. The document would need to be posted on a website or shared on social media for AI training. So, unless your Google Docs are shared publicly online, they were not used for AI training.

Amazon and Meta settle UK investigations with pledges to refrain from unfair practices

Amazon and Meta (formerly Facebook) have settled separate antitrust investigations by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Amazon's investigation focused on whether the company was harming competition by giving preference to merchants that paid for additional services. Amazon will no longer be able to use third-party sellers' data to gain an advantage, and sellers can negotiate their own delivery rates. Meta's probe looked into data collection practices and the embedding of Facebook Marketplace into its social network. Meta will allow competitors to opt out of data use and limit ad data use in product development.
