Microsoft closed their recently acquired advertisement buy-side platform Xander Invest because they are replacing it with an AI-only platform.

They only gave their customers 9 months to migrate away.

I'm expecting that Microsoft did this to artificially pump up their AI usage numbers for next year by forcibly removing non-AI alternatives.

This only one example in AdTech but I expect other industries to be hit as well.
