Elvis's rights holders and Eminem's publisher sue Suno, Microchip says AI buyers are crowding out the factories, an agent ranks influencers by sales, the race to get named by chatbots, customer teams that can't measure AI, and Google's agents land in Microsoft Teams.

Show Notes

Saturday, November 7, 2026. Rights holders for Elvis Presley and Eminem's publisher Eight Mile Style have filed separate federal suits against AI music generator Suno, invoking Tennessee's ELVIS Act and claiming roughly $40 million over 269 Eminem compositions. That puts brands that publish AI music on notice. Microchip says AI buyers "took over the whole factory," stretching lead times to as long as 32 weeks. Hyperstar launches an agent that ranks influencers by attributed sales, 5W PR publishes a self-reported AI-visibility study, ChurnZero finds 63% of customer leaders can't measure AI's impact, and Google's Agent Development Kit 2.14 adds a Microsoft Teams runner. Jack King on what each one means for revenue and go-to-market teams.
