IGN reported Thursday afternoon that the Entertainment Software Association canceled this year's E3, which was set to be the first in-person E3 since 2019. IGN said the ESA sent out an email to members saying that the 2023 version of E3 "simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry." When asked if the event would return next year ESA President and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis said, “We’re committed to providing an industry platform for marketing and convening but we want to make sure we find that right balance that meets the needs of the industry.” https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/30/23664044/e3-cancelled-isnt-coming-back

In an interview with the New York Times' Hard Fork podcast, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company would upgrade its Bard chatbot to use its PaLM large language model over the next week. At launch Bard used a "lightweight and efficient version" of its LaMDA model. Pichai said this new model is more capable, better at reasoning, coding, and answering math questions. https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/31/23664426/google-bard-ai-chatbot-upgrades-coming-soon-sundar-pichai

Italy's data protection authority opened an investigation into whether OpenAI unlawfully processed Italian citizen's data, as well as lack of controls for allowing minors to access its systems, like ChatGPT. It ordered OpenAI to temporarily stop processing Italian user data. OpenAI has 20 days to respond to this order. https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/31/chatgpt-blocked-italy/

Audible confirmed it began "conducting limited testing" on inserting ads into audiobooks, podcasts, and original content. Right now the test offers "ad-supported access to a limited set" of titles for non-paying members. Audible says a maximum of eight ads will play within a 24-hour period. https://www.engadget.com/audible-is-now-testing-ads-in-your-audiobooks-for-some-reason-185337088.html

Twitter launched Verified Organizations globally, which lets verified organizations vetted by Twitter designate verification badges to affiliated accounts. This costs $1000 a month, plus $50 for each affiliate account. BuzzFeed News reports that several news organizations won't pay for the feature, including the New York Times, Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, Insider and BuzzFeed itself, or allow journalists to expense an individual Twitter Blue subscription. Semafor will allow reporters to expense Twitter Blue, with CNN and others still weighing the decision. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1641596848921276417
