TNL Mediagene Co-Hosts the 2025 Generative AI Conference, Expands Presence in AI Ecosystem in Asia
The 2025 Generative AI Conference is Taiwan's premier AI event, bringing together the public, developers, AI-focused start-ups, vendors and press. Co-organized by Muyueh Lee, the curator of the Generative AI Conference and TNL Mediagene, the two-day conference featured a split agenda including the Generative AI Developers Conference on May 23, followed by the Generative AI Conference on May 24. Event sponsors included leading tech companies NVIDIA and Appier, among others.
The 2025 Generative AI Conference was not only a technology event, but also a collaborative arena for professionals across industries to co-create the future of AI applications.
As the event's key media and strategic partner, the Company leveraged its media platforms INSIDE, The News Lens, Business Yee, and Cool3c to provide extensive coverage and insights before, during and after the event. The conference included brand experience booths and expert forums, offering a space for dialogue between local and global AI pioneers and is one of Asia-Pacific's premier AI exchange platforms.
'The 2025 Generative AI Conference was a big success for us. Co-hosting this event was a key milestone for the Company, both on a personal level and from a business perspective. The event provided great visibility for our brand, essentially recognizing us as one of the key players in AI in Taiwan and Asia more broadly, and allowed us to get in front of a large group of innovators, industry participants and businesses for potential future follow-on business opportunities' Co-Founder & CEO Joey Chung said.
By gathering global experts and Taiwan's top enterprises, the 2025 Generative AI Conference also functioned as a potential launchpad for partnerships, innovation, and practical applications of generative AI.
The event focused on Generative AI broadly and highlighted various use cases for the technology including integrating AI into everyday processes in retail, process automation, AI Agents, AI coding, AI experience design and AI-based content creation, among others.
'Generative AI is a game-changer in our industry, especially in terms of content creation and content optimization. We actively use AI as part of our multilingualization strategies where we basically take entire media properties with content native to one geography and push it to new geographies with AI-based translation to expand readership. We are finding that this process works well enough that in many cases the readers in additional markets may not even realize that the media originated from a different language market. We have also found that we have been able to take a lot of cost out of our business and enhance profitability through AI, so that is also another AI use case for us and something we are very focused on as well.'
'On a more strategic level, we are also always selectively enhancing our offering through technology M&A when we can find the right supplementary business at a good price, with AI targets being a key focal point. The opportunity to get our name out there in a high-visibility AI-centric forum where we can meet a lot of founders is always a big plus for us' Joey concluded.

Equities stall as early enthusiasm ebbs; Amazon, Apple earnings due
NEW YORK: US stocks closed lower on Thursday as early gains faded, following the latest round of corporate earnings and economic data, as investors awaited results from megacaps Amazon and Apple due after the closing bell. Microsoft shares rose 3.5 per cent after it posted a strong earnings report and briefly surpassed the US$4 trillion market cap threshold , becoming only the second publicly traded company to ever touch the milestone after Nvidia. Meta Platforms surged 11.3 per cent to close at a record high of US$773.44 as AI-driven growth in its core ad business powered a bullish revenue forecast. Still, other AI-related names were weaker on the session. Names such as chipmakers Broadcom, which lost 2.9 per cent, and Nvidia, off 0.8 per cent, weighed on the PHLX semiconductor index. The chip index dropped 3.1 per cent for its biggest daily percentage decline since April 16. "Looking at the market action today, you have haves and have-nots, and so you have a couple tech companies, like a lot of the semiconductor-related and semi-cap equipment-related stocks are doing pretty poorly," said Ellen Hazen, chief market strategist at F.L. Putnam Investment Management in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. "But then, of course, Microsoft is doing pretty well, and the same thing with Amazon and Meta, which are doing really well." Of the 297 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings through Thursday morning, 80.8 per cent have topped analyst expectations, according to LSEG data, compared with the 76 per cent beat rate over the past four quarters. After the closing bell, Amazon shed 2.6 per cent in extended trade after reporting quarterly results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 330.30 points, or 0.74 per cent, to 44,130.98, the S&P 500 lost 23.51 points, or 0.37 per cent, to 6,339.39 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 7.23 points, or 0.03 per cent, to 21,122.45. The S&P 500 had risen as much as 1 per cent and the Nasdaq as much as 1.5 per cent earlier in the session. The Nasdaq has not logged a move of at least 1 per cent in either direction since July 3 while the S&P last recorded a daily 1 per cent move on June 24. Earlier economic data from the Commerce Department report showed inflation picked up in June, with new tariffs pushing prices higher and stoking expectations that price pressures could intensify in the coming months, while weekly initial jobless claims signaled the labor market remained on stable footing. Investors will now eye Friday's non-farm payrolls report and a looming tariff deadline, as US President Donald Trump was expected to issue higher final duty rates for countries that have not reached an agreement, although Mexico was granted a 90-day reprieve. US stocks have rallied after a sharp selloff that began in early April after Trump announced a bevy of sharp tariffs, only to rebound as deals have been struck with many trading partners on duty levels. For the month, the S&P 500 gained 2.17 per cent, the Nasdaq rose 3.7 per cent, and the Dow climbed 0.08 per cent. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq recorded their third straight monthly gain. Drug stocks were also weaker after the White House said Trump sent letters to the CEOs of 17 major pharmaceutical companies, urging immediate action to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans. The NYSE Arca pharmaceutical index slumped 2.9 per cent, its biggest drop since May 14 and fourth straight session of declines. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.55-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, and by a 1.98-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted 35 new 52-week highs and 28 new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 141 new lows. Volume on US exchanges was 19.65 billion shares, compared with the 18.01 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

Reddit forecasts strong revenue on AI-driven ad strength, shares surge
(Reuters) -Reddit forecast third-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Thursday, betting on growing digital advertising driven by its artificial intelligence-powered marketing tools. Shares of the company, which went public in March last year, rose more than 10% in extended trading. The forecast follows bigger rival Meta's upbeat second-quarter results and strong revenue outlook on Wednesday, lifted by the Facebook and Instagram parent's core ad business. Advertisers are increasingly turning to platforms such as Reddit, Meta, and TikTok, which offer advanced AI-powered tools for automated ad creation, precise audience targeting and access to fast-growing user bases. Reddit offers marketers various ad formats, including conversation placement ads, which allow brands to advertise directly within discussion threads in its interest-based communities known as subreddits. The San Francisco, California-based company last month launched two new AI-powered ad features designed to help brands drive engagement by tapping into user conversations on the platform. "Reddit just turned in a quarter that would make even its harshest subreddit proud," Emarketer analyst Jeremy Goldman said. The company expects third-quarter revenue of $535 million to $545 million, well above analysts' average estimate of $473 million, according to data compiled by LSEG. It projected quarterly adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of $185 million to $195 million, compared with estimates of $160.4 million. Second quarter revenue rose 78% to $500 million, beating estimates of $426 million. Its profit came in at 45 cents per share, topping expectations of 19 cents. Reddit said its machine translation feature now supports 23 languages, helping fuel user growth across Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America. Daily active unique visitors increased 21% to 110.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, while global average revenue per user jumped 47% to $4.53, the company said.

Google loses appeal over app store reforms in Epic Games case
FILE PHOTO: A logo is pictured at Google's European Engineering Center in Zurich, Switzerland July 19, 2018. Picture taken July 19, 2018. REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann/File Photo (Reuters) -Alphabet's Google on Thursday failed to persuade a U.S. appeals panel to overturn a jury verdict and federal court order requiring the technology giant to revamp its app store Play. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected claims from Google that the trial judge made legal errors in the antitrust case that unfairly benefited "Fortnite" maker Epic Games, which filed the lawsuit in 2020. Epic accused Google of monopolizing how consumers access apps on Android devices and pay for transactions within apps. The Cary, North Carolina-based company convinced a San Francisco jury in 2023 that Google illegally stifled competition. U.S. District Judge James Donato in San Francisco ordered Google in October to restore competition by allowing users to download rival app stores within its Play store and by making Play's app catalog available to those competitors, among other reforms. Donato's order was on hold pending the outcome of the 9th Circuit appeal. The court's decision can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Google told the appeals court that the tech company's Play store competes with Apple's App Store, and that Donato unfairly barred Google from making that point to contest Epic's antitrust claims. The tech giant also argued that a jury should never have heard Epic's lawsuit because it sought to enjoin Google's conduct — a request normally decided by a judge — and not collect damages. Epic has defended the verdict and court injunction, telling the 9th Circuit judges that the Android app market has been "suffering under anti-competitive behavior for the better part of a decade." In the trial court and in the appeal, Epic disputed arguments by Google that changes to its app business ordered by the court would harm user privacy and security. Microsoft filed a brief backing Epic, as did the U.S. Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission. Epic separately is battling Apple over a U.S. judge's order requiring the iPhone maker to give developers greater freedom to steer consumers to make purchases outside its App Store. Apple has appealed a ruling that said it violated a prior injunction in a lawsuit that Epic filed in 2020. (Reporting by Mike Scarcella; Editing by David Bario and Jan Harvey)
