Meta Directors and Shareholders Settle Privacy Suit (WSJ. 20250717)
Current and former Meta directors and shareholders have reached a settlement in their data privacy lawsuit, ending the trial on its second day. This means the executives and board members will avoid testifying about their response to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. In 2018, a group of shareholders sued some members of the board of what was then known as Facebook, including Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg and former Chief Operating Officer Cheryl Sandberg. The plaintiffs said the directors didn't ensure the company protected its users' data. Terms for the settlement weren't disclosed. Open AI has launched a chat GPT Agent which lets users automate tasks like online shopping, creating spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. The agent works just like Open AI's existing operator agent by accessing the internet through its own browser. But the new agent is equipped with "deep" research capabilities that allow for it to work with larger amounts of information it gathers from the web. The company said it'll be available to Pro, Plus, and Team users today and available for Enterprise and Education users later this summer. And finally, defense tech startup Hadrian said it raised $260 million in debt and equity to expand production of its critical defense components and complete a 270,000 square foot factory in Arizona. President Trump wants to speed up America's lagging munitions production and revitalize deteriorated shipyards. Hadrian aims to do just that with the help of workforce robots and is now armed with this fresh funding to boost it. Backers of the deal include Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Morgan Stanley.
Meta(전 Facebook) 주주가 CEO, CEO 등 전현직 이사회를 상대로 제기한 개인정보 소송이 합의로 마무리됨. 이에 따라 Cambridge Analytica 사건에 대해 이사회가 증언하지 않아도 됨. 2018년 소송 당시 주주들은 이사회가 사용자 정보를 보호하지 않았다고 소송했음. 합의 조건은 비공개임. 한편, OpenAI가 온라인 쇼핑, 스프레드시트 및 파워포인트 생성 등 작업을 자동화하는 GPT Agent를 출시함. 인터넷 브라우저를 통해 기존 Agent를 통해 사용할 수 있음. 이번 Agent는 인터넷을 통해 더 많은 정보를 검색하는 "Deep" 리서치 역량을 강화한 것임. Pro, Plus, Team 사용자는 오늘부터, Enterprise 및 Education 사용자는 여름부터 이 기능을 사용할 수 있음. 한편, 방위 스타트업 Hadrian이 주요 군수품 생산 확대 및 아리조나 주 공장 건설을 위해 2억6천만 달러의 부채 및 자본을 조달했다고 발표했음. 트럼프는 군수품 생산 속도를 높이고 노후화된 조선소를 활성화하고자 함. Hadrian은 이번에 조달한 자금과 함께 로봇을 사용해 목표를 달성할 것이라고 함. Founders Fund, Lux Capital, Morgan Stanley가 자금 조달에 참여했음
