Artifact, an AI-curated personalized news app founded by Instagram's former founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, is shutting down just one year after its launch. Systrom announced the closure on Medium, stating that while they built something a core group of users love, "the market opportunity isn’t big enough to warrant continued investment." The app originally aimed to provide a TikTok-style news feed, but expanded to include content creation, customizable profiles, and a Reddit-like voting system. Commenting and posting have been disabled, and the app will remain accessible for news browsing through the end of February. Co-founder Kevin Systrom expressed hope that technology could still find ways to "preserve, support and grow" news institutions, acknowledging the existential crises facing the news industry.

OpenAI's enterprise version of ChatGPT, ChatGPT Enterprise, has attracted 260 paying companies that collectively employ more than 150,000 registered ChatGPT users in the four months since launch, according to COO Brad Lightcap. ChatGPT Enterprise is for large enterprises only, and OpenAI says it has a long waiting list. For small and medium-sized businesses, OpenAI this week launched the "Teams" plan, which is available for as few as two people. OpenAI is also in talks with major publishers such as CNN, Fox and Time to license content - with 99 percent positive interactions, according to Lightcap. OpenAI's COO emphasizes the potential for a positive relationship between the media and technology industries, as opposed to past conflicts.
