Big Takeaway: Google is reportedly considering a new business model that includes placing some of its core products, like their AI-powered search engine, behind a paywall for the first time.
The company is exploring the possibility of adding AI-powered search features to its premium subscription services, which already include access to its AI assistant, Gemini.
Executives have not decided whether or when to implement this change, but engineers are developing the necessary technology.
Google's traditional search engine will remain free and ad-supported, with subscribers also seeing ads alongside search results.

Big Takeaway: Over 200 musicians, including Billie Eilish, J Balvin, Nicki Minaj, Stevie Wonder, and the estates of Frank Sinatra and Bob Marley, have signed an open letter for protections against AI mimicking artists' likenesses and sounds.
The letter was issued by the Artist Rights Alliance and it demands that tech companies pledge not to use AI in ways that undermine human songwriters and artists.
The musicians' collective stance emphasizes the need to stop the malicious use of AI in stealing artists' voices and likenesses, aiming to protect creators' rights.
While not seeking an outright ban on AI in music, the letter also acknowledges that responsible AI use could benefit the industry, referencing the AI-assisted creation of a "new" Beatles song.
