Ben Croll AI spending is expected to crest above $13 billion by 2028, with the spread falling fairly evenly across analytics, development/delivery and customer experiences like personalization and discovery, media analysts announced at a Series Mania presentation on Thursday. However, the analysts do not anticipate the content creation apocalypse that has underscored much AI coverage of late.

Though she was spotted in a booth with a group of people, she exited the bar alone…as long as you don’t count her security team.According to the publication, Swift “spent a couple hours talking and eating before heading out—and having one of her security guards pay the tab upon her exit.” It’s hard to make out exactly what Swift was wearing, but it looks like she was dressed comfortably and didn’t bother going incognito until she left the premises, throwing on a baseball cap on her way out the door.
