AI tech battle: Pick Microsoft over Meta, analyst says
Big tech companies are all about AI this earnings season. Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) have spent a lot of money on ramping up their AI offerings, but only one has a stock you may want to consider for your portfolio, according to Visible Alpha Head of TMT Research Melissa Otto. In the latest Good Buy or Goodbye, Otto explains that Microsoft benefits from both a strong demand and a strong outlook for its Azure business. She also likes that it has a lot of potential growth from AI. Otto is less of a fan of Meta. She argues that its higher expense guidance "suggests that the 'year of efficiency' is potentially over." So why is Mircosoft's spending on AI good, while Meta's spending is a concern? Otto says there are two reasons: Meta's expenses have ramped up more than expected and that there is a lack of visibility surrounding those expenses.

ReutersUS newspapers sue OpenAI for copyright infringement over AI training
A group of newspapers, including the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune, sued Microsoft and OpenAI in New York federal court on Tuesday, accusing them of misusing reporters' work to train their generative artificial-intelligence systems. The eight newspapers, owned by hedge fund Alden Global Capital's MediaNews Group, said in the lawsuit that the companies unlawfully copied millions of their articles to train AI products, including Microsoft's Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT. The complaint follows similar ongoing lawsuits against Microsoft and OpenAI, which has received billions in financial backing from Microsoft, brought by the New York Times and news outlets The Intercept, Raw Story and AlterNet.
