These objects were discovered by archaeologists in Egypt and are believed to have been used by the Egyptians to monitor their pharaoh’s assets and uncover fraud. The accounting system remains largely unchanged today. Basically, it is still an independent record of stocks and transactions. However, finance teams have since replaced clay tablets with technology and now have to manage a carefully curated selection of platforms. Every CFO’s technology stack includes software designed to manage financial activity, from payments, payroll and accounting to expense…

After Meta began labeling photos with the “Made with AI” tag in May, photographers complained that the social networking company applied the tags to real photos on which they had used basic editing tools.

The charge announced Monday follows the tech giant’s launch of the ad-free subscription service for Facebook and Instagram in Europe last November.
