此外,苹果公司还在测试Safari 18浏览器的新功能,包括"智能搜索"和"网页橡皮擦"。 其中,"智能搜索"可以利用苹果的设备端人工智能技术(特别是 Ajax 语言学习模型)来识别网页中的 主题和关键词,并以此为基础进行内容总结。在选择关键词时,苹果的LLM 软件会识别句子中提供解 释或描述物体结构的部分(具体取决于文本内容)。文本中重复出现的词语和关键句子会被识别为文本 主题。 而"网页橡皮擦"则允许用户删除网页上的特定内容,如广告或图像。该功能预计将建立在Safari现有的 隐私保护功能之上,允许用户从他们选择的任何网页中删除不需要的内容。 苹果的分析师评价称,对于标志性的iPhone和拥有超过 20 亿活跃设备的苹果公司来说,这场即将到来 的转变意义重大。自2007年推出第一款苹果智能手机以来,用户一直通过谷歌搜索来浏览网页。现在, 苹果的用户将进入一个由多家公司主导的人工智能世界。 美国东部时间5月7日晚,中美两国最大的搜索应用公司百度和谷歌,突然上演了股价"大跳水"。 截至美股收盘,谷歌母公司Alphabet的股价暴跌了7.6%,市值蒸发超过1500亿美元(约人民币1.08万亿 元)。同时,百度当 ...
苹果紧急申请暂停执行App Store新规 反垄断争议再升级
Huan Qiu Wang· 2025-05-08 04:54
【环球网科技综合报道】5月8日消息,据路透社报道,苹果公司近日向美国北加州地方法院提出紧急动议,请求暂停执行针对其App Store的新规则,这一 举动再次将苹果公司置于反垄断争议的风口浪尖。 此前,美国联邦法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers于5月1日作出裁定,认定苹果公司违反了2021年法院命令,未能在App Store中开放外部支付选项,构成反竞争 行为。法官指出,苹果不仅未能遵守命令,反而设计新的反竞争措施,意图维持其高利润的30%应用内购买抽佣模式。尽管苹果随后允许开发者引导用户通 过网页完成应用内购买交易,但仍强收27%的佣金。 5月2日,苹果更新了美国地区的App Store规则,不再限制开发者添加按钮、外部链接或其他行动号召,表面上看似允许开发者绕过30%的抽佣机制。然而, 这一变化并未平息争议,反而引发了更多质疑。裁决生效后,包括Kindle、Patreon和Spotify在内的多家知名应用迅速调整策略,在美国市场内启用外部支付 链接,为用户提供更多支付选择,直接挑战了苹果的支付垄断地位。 面对外界压力,苹果于5月6日正式提起上诉,试图撤销此前被强制要求允许开发者在应用内添加外部 ...

美司法部挥刀斩垄断:谷歌(GOOGL.US)广告业务或遭强制拆分
智通财经网· 2025-05-06 07:03
Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a motion in federal court requiring Google to divest two core assets of its online advertising business: the AdX advertising exchange platform and the publisher ad server, following a ruling that found Google engaged in illegal monopolistic behavior in the digital advertising market [1][2]. Group 1: DOJ's Actions and Rationale - The DOJ's request for divestiture stems from a ruling by Judge Leoni Brinkman, which identified Google's monopolistic practices in the digital advertising exchange and server sectors [1]. - The DOJ emphasized that Google's long-term abuse of market dominance has created a "self-preferencing" closed ecosystem, where it provides special privileges to its own advertising products, thereby forcing advertisers and publishers to rely heavily on its services [1][2]. Group 2: Google's Response and Proposed Solutions - Google has not publicly responded with a specific plan but has suggested compliance through technical openness and third-party oversight, including a commitment to open the AdX platform to all bidding systems without discrimination [2]. - The DOJ rejected Google's proposal for a "technical compatibility commitment," arguing that such measures would not fundamentally address the monopolistic structure, asserting that only the divestiture of illegally obtained monopolistic assets can restore market competition [1][2]. Group 3: Implications for the Advertising Industry - Analysts in the advertising technology sector suggest that the separation of the ad server from the exchange platform could reshape the digital advertising value chain, potentially leading to the emergence of more neutral advertising infrastructure service providers [2]. - Legal experts caution that enforcing the separation of a complex technological ecosystem may face execution challenges and could inadvertently harm small and medium-sized enterprises that depend on Google's technology during the divestiture process [2]. Group 4: Broader Context and Future Developments - The case is part of a broader DOJ antitrust lawsuit against Google initiated in 2023, with Judge Brinkman having already identified three illegal practices by Google in the advertising technology market [2]. - The outcome of this case is being closely monitored by the global digital advertising market, with other jurisdictions like the EU and the UK also investigating Google's advertising business, which may set important precedents for multinational tech antitrust enforcement [2].
