Why DDLs are the authentication method of the future The U.S. currently relies on state-issued driver’s licens- es to fulfill its identity verification needs, but many states, including Colorado, Louisiana and Maryland, are working to digitize these offerings for improved acces- sibility and security. There are still obstacles that must be overcome before DDLs can be accepted nationwide, however. For this month’s Feature Story (p. 6), PYMNTS spoke with Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Secure Technology Alliance, about the accessibility, pri- vacy and security advantages DDLs bring to the table, as well as the challenges of implementing them without a federal-level agency to ensure compatibility across state lines. Deep Dive: How fake profiles endanger social media Social media has become a cornerstone of everyday life, with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube boasting a collective 2.77 billion users. Up to 25 percent of these users are fake, however, made up of simple artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that account for as much as 75 percent of all social media cyberattacks. This month’s Deep Dive (p. 14) explores the ways these ille- gitimate accounts can damage both websites and their users, as well as how providers can up their authentica- tion games to weed out fraudsters. © 2020 PYMNTS.com All Rights Reserved 4 WHAT’S INSIDE WHAT’S INSIDE Share of Americans excited about 48.1% using biometrics at retail stores Portion of customers who prefer biometrics to 34% passwords because of improved security Number of New South Wales, Australia, Five Fast Facts 1M citizens using DDLs Expected number of 500k companies the CCPA will affect Portion of social media accounts 25% that are fake © 2020 PYMNTS.com All Rights Reserved 5 FEATURE STORY FEATURE © 2020 PYMNTS.com All Rights Reserved 6 FEATURE STORY The Secure Technology Alliance Pushes For Digital Driver's Licenses DDLs are gaining popularity in the U.S., where 12 states Privacy, security and constant updates are working to develop and implement them.

By investigating this intense M&A, this paper ambitions a better understanding of the Big Five's strategies. To do so, we identify 6 different user groups gravitating around these multi-sided companies along with each company's most important market segments. We then track their mergers and acquisitions and match them with the segments. This exercise shows that these five firms use M&A activity mostly to strengthen their core market segments but rarely to expand their activities into new ones. Furthermore, most of the acquired products are shut down post acquisition, which suggests that GAFAM mainly acquire firm’s assets (functionality, technology, talent or IP) to integrate them in their ecosystem rather than the products and users themselves. For these tech giants, therefore, acquisition appears to be a substitute for in-house R&D. Finally, from our check for possible "killer acquisitions", it appears that just a single one in our sample could potentially be qualified as such.

  • Merger Policy in Digital Markets: an Ex Post Assessment 3 Study Is to Undertake a Less Common Form of Ex Post Assessment
    Journal of Competition Law & Economics, 00(00), 1–46 doi: 10.1093/joclec/nhaa020 MERGER POLICY IN DIGITAL MARKETS: AN EX Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jcle/advance-article/doi/10.1093/joclec/nhaa020/5874037 by guest on 18 December 2020 POST ASSESSMENT† Elena Argentesi,∗Paolo Buccirossi,†Emilio Calvano,‡ Tomaso Duso,§,∗ & Alessia Marrazzo,¶ & Salvatore Nava† ABSTRACT This paper presents a broad retrospective evaluation of mergers and merger decisions in markets dominated by multisided digital platforms. First, we doc- ument almost 300 acquisitions carried out by three major tech companies— Amazon, Facebook, and Google—between 2008 and 2018. We cluster target companies on their area of economic activity providing suggestive evidence on the strategies behind these mergers. Second, we discuss the features of digital markets that create new challenges for competition policy. By using relevant case studies as illustrative examples, we discuss theories of harm that have been used or, alternatively, could have been formulated by authorities in these cases. Finally, we retrospectively examine two important merger cases, Facebook/Instagram and Google/Waze, providing a systematic assessment of the theories of harm considered by the UK competition authorities as well as evidence on the evolution of the market after the transactions were approved. We discuss whether the competition authority performed complete and careful analyses to foresee the competitive consequences of the investigated mergers and whether a more effective merger control regime can be achieved within the current legal framework.

In this paper, we provide detailed information and statistics on the merger activity of the GAFAM and on the characteristics of the firms they acquire. One of the most intriguing features of these acquisitions is that, in the majority of cases, the product of the target is discontinued under its original brand name post acquisition and this is especially true for the youngest firms. There are three reasons to discontinue a product post acquisition: the product is not as successful as expected, the acquisition was not motivated by the product itself but by the target's assets or R&D effort, or by the elimination of a potential competitive threat. While our data does not enable us to screen between these explanations, the present analysis shows that most of the startups are killed in their infancy. This important phenomenon calls for tighter intervention by competition authorities in merger cases involving big techs.

  • Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: from Research, Innovation, Market
    Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Businesses: from Research, Innovation, Market Deployment to Future Shifts in Business Models1 Neha Soni1, Enakshi Khular Sharma1, Narotam Singh2, Amita Kapoor3, 1Department of Electronic Science, University of Delhi South Campus, Delhi, India 2Information Communication and Instrumentation Training Centre, India Meteorological Department, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Delhi, India 3Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women, University of Delhi, Delhi, India {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} Abstract The fast pace of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is propelling strategists to reshape their business models. This is fostering the integration of AI in the business processes but the consequences of this adoption are underexplored and needs attention. This paper focuses on the overall impact of AI on businesses - from research, innovation, market deployment to future shifts in business models. To access this overall impact, we design a three dimensional research model, based upon the Neo-Schumpeterian economics and its three forces viz. innovation, knowledge, and entrepreneurship. The first dimension deals with research and innovation in AI. In the second dimension, we explore the influence of AI on the global market and the strategic objectives of the businesses and finally the third dimension examines how AI is shaping business contexts. Additionally, the paper explores AI implications on actors and its dark sides. Keywords Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Digitization, Business Strategies, Innovation, Business Contexts 1. Introduction The emerging technologies viz. internet of things (IoT), data science, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain are changing the way we live, work and amuse ourselves.
