구글, 2분기 수익 및 이익 예상치 초과

Google's parent company, Alphabet, reported second-quarter revenue and profits that exceeded expectations thanks to increased digital advertising sales and strong demand for cloud computing services. However, it warned that capital spending this year would remain high. Alphabet's results demonstrate increased demand for digital advertising due to the Paris Olympics and elections in several countries, including the United States, and indicate that a recovery in corporate spending is driving its software business. Additionally, the adoption of generative artificial intelligence technology has significantly grown the cloud business. Advertising sales rose 11% to $64.6 billion, and quarterly net income rose 28.6% to $23.6 billion, beating the average estimate of $22.9 billion. Investor reaction was mixed, with the stock initially rising about 2% before closing flat. Alphabet's stock price has risen more than 30% this year, exceeding the 20% rise of the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite Index.

구글의 모회사 알파벳은 디지털 광고 매출 증가와 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스에 대한 높은 수요 덕분에 2분기 수익과 이익이 예상치를 초과했다고 발표했다. 그러나 올해 자본 지출은 여전히 높을 것이라고 경고했다. 알파벳의 이번 성과는 파리 올림픽과 미국을 포함한 여러 국가의 선거로 인한 디지털 광고 수요 증가를 보여주며, 기업 지출 회복이 소프트웨어 사업을 견인하고 있음을 나타낸다. 또한 생성형 인공지능 기술의 채택이 클라우드 사업을 크게 성장시켰다. 광고 매출은 11% 증가하여 646억 달러를 기록했으며, 분기 순이익은 28.6% 증가한 236억 달러로, 평균 예상치인 229억 달러를 넘어섰다. 투자자들의 반응은 엇갈렸으며, 주가는 처음에 약 2% 상승하다가 보합으로 마감했다. 올해 들어 알파벳 주가는 30% 이상 상승하며, 기술 중심의 나스닥 종합 지수의 20% 상승률을 상회하고 있다.

X, AI 훈련용 데이터 제공 허용하는 개인정보 정책 변경

Social media platform X has announced changes to its privacy policy that will allow it to provide user data to third parties for AI model training purposes. The policy, set to take effect on November 15, 2024, is expected to pave the way for external companies to purchase X's data in the form of licenses. The new policy introduces a "third-party collaborators" section, but the specific methods for users to opt out of data sharing remain unclear. This move is seen as a potential new revenue stream for X, which has experienced a decline in advertising revenue. Meanwhile, X has also strengthened penalties for 'scraping', the unauthorized collection of large numbers of tweets. The company has decided to impose a fine of $15,000 for accessing more than one million posts per day. X's owner, Elon Musk, has maintained a tough stance on scraping, and this policy change appears to reflect his attitude.
