Introduced to the company\u2019s mobile app in June, Sparky functions like a conversational agent, helping users compare products, summarise reviews, and suggest items for different occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Sources familiar with the initiative say Walmart has been experimenting with a format called \u201cSponsored Prompt,\u201d which integrates ads directly into Sparky\u2019s chat interface. This approach could open the door to monetising AI-driven shopping interactions, offering brands a new way to reach consumers in real time.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Warner settles with AI music firm<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Warner Music Group has struck a landmark deal with AI music start-up Suno, a year after suing the company over copyright concerns. Under the agreement, Warner will allow users to create AI-generated tracks using the voices, names, and likenesses of artists who opt into the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Starting next year, Suno will launch licensed models on its platform, which already boasts 100 million users. The update will introduce paid downloads for audio files, while free-tier songs remain shareable. Warner described the collaboration as the first of its kind, signalling a new era where AI and artistry converge under regulated frameworks.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>YouTube trials new feed control features<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>YouTube is testing a new feature that gives users more control over the videos appearing in their home feed.
