The New York Times announced on the 20th that the Biden administration is in the final stage of negotiations due to the sensational popularity of the news algorithm Video app TikTok, which the US government was trying to ban by shutting down the app.
At a meeting of US technology leaders, Kemba Walden, chief deputy director of national cyber affairs, predicted the conclusion of the negotiations, saying, "The White House has not made a final decision on the ban, but has expressed support for 'all measures to enhance security'."
TikTok, run by Chinese-American Zhang in Beijing, is the world's fastest-growing Internet company with "Artificial Intelligence (AI) for news delivery."
TikTok had more site visits than Google last year, more watch time in the US than YouTube, and it took Facebook 9 years to reach 1 billion users, but TikTok did it in 5 years.
On August 6, 2020, U.S. President Trump (Republican Party) signed an executive order banning the use of Chinese video-sharing apps TikTok and Messenger App WeChat in the United States.
Regarding the phenomenal success of the TikTok app, the NYT said, "The fact that it is the product of America's biggest geopolitical rival makes it all the more surprising, and despite decades of hard work, no Chinese company has conquered American society like TikTok."
The US military and government have banned the TikTok app, and in China, TikTok itself is banned, but requires users to access another ByteDance app that follows Chinese government guidelines for censorship and propaganda.
Regarding TikTok, he said, “I am afraid that the Biden administration’s contradictory approach (accepting the app as an important channel to the public and the app as a potential tool for foreign influence) will become a threat.” It reshaped American culture in its own image, made Olivia Rodrigo a household name, and propelled author Colin Hoover to the top of the bestseller list, selling more copies than the Bible this year.”
TikTok coined the signature phrase of 2022, “Quiet Quit,” and introduced entirely new Algospeak dialects: “seggs,” “unalive,” and “le dollar bean” that are now pervading pop culture.
TikTok redirects the billions of dollars worth of advertising that used to be spent on businesses and brands, from everyday goldfish crackers to luxury Prada, to the platform, extending the reach of decades-old products that can instantly turn them into must-haves.
“Quiet quitting,” the biggest term coined by TikTok this year, was the headline of an August 12 Wall Street Journal article, “If your colleagues are ‘quietly quitting’, this is what it means.”
The Guardian redefined TikTok as a pandemic term, reporting "quiet quitting: why doing the bare minimum at work has gone global."
The New York Times coined the term “For some people, they were mentally checking out of work. For others, it has become important not to accept extra work without an extra pay.”
Zhang, who was born in the United States and studied computer science at Tianjin University in China, in August 2012, ByteDance uses AI to launch Jinri Toutiao ("Today's Headlines" ) was released as the first version.
Toutiao pioneered the system TikTok would later achieve global dominance in. Unlike content platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, where users manually accumulate friends and connections, posts are populated by users' feeds.
Toutiao doesn't care who the driver knows or likes, and runs without creating accounts and passwords, without explaining interests and preferences, so no registration is required.
Tic Thot is Toutiao's underlying technology that allows short-term users to simply get an article when they download the app, read the entire article or just a few sentences, pause at a specific paragraph, swipe up again to re-read something, leave a comment, etc. started to create a picture of who users were and what they wanted, based on how they reacted to the content.
TikTok's recommendation engine gets better with each use, achieving a virtuous cycle where more users means more data, more data means smarter algorithms, and smarter algorithms mean more users.
The TekTalk app surpassed 1 million average daily users in just four months after its launch in 2012, and soared to $2.5 billion in 2017 from virtually no sales in 2014.
A few months after ByteDance was founded, American venture capitalist Matt Huang visited the Beijing tech scene and invested in “the possibility of applying AI to news apps.”
