Why the Sunshine State is attracting the tech industry.

From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech.

I'm Stephanie Hughes.

It's Friday, time for Marketplace Tech bites, where we take a look at a few of the big stories in the tech industry.

This week, Palantir relocates its headquarters to Miami.

Plus, they'll look at the controversy around Ring's search party feature.

But first, an update to Google's AI search summaries.

If you use AI-enabled search on Google, it'll spit out an AI-generated summary with source links to the right.

you know, if I'm thinking about why Google might have decided to do this, besides, you know,

the point that they made about, okay, it's more engaging. I think the two big reasons why this has happened is because of accuracy

users kind of going on to Google and looking at the AI overviews, I think we're used to

having those sources and those links. And it could be a way for them to sort of build more trust

in their AI products. I think, you know, the other portion of this is that the European
