“The debate around whether AI will automate jobs away is heating up. AI critics claim that these statistical models lack the creativity and intuition of human workers and that they are thus doomed to specific, repetitive tasks. However, this pessimism fundamentally underestimates the power of AI. While AI job automation has already replaced around 400,000 factory jobs in the U.S. from 1990 to 2007, with another 2 million on the way, AI today is automating the economy in a much more subtle way.”

“AI technologies have moved faster than society. We need a better understanding of how AI transforms society, who is most affected, why, and the consequences.

Due to the most recent progresses in machine learning, big data and computational power, artificial intelligence (AI) is widely accepted as having the potential to transform every industry and to overcome the biggest challenges facing society. AI may well be a revolution in human affairs and become the single most influential innovation in history.”

“According to recent McKinsey research, 2021 was a year of transformation: people, corporations and society began to look ahead to influencing their futures rather than just surviving the present.

It was the year that premature hopes for herd immunity, an end to pandemic lockdowns, and a return to normality were dashed – at least for now. But aside from the Great Social Media Resignation, during which burnt-out Gen Z workers quit their jobs on TikTok and Instagram, the rise of non fungible tokens (NFTs), and the introduction of the metaverse, the world’s space-going billionaires were as wealthy and productive in business and technology as ever.”

WHY Ethics is ‘the new frontier for technology’

 

“Questions about AI ethics AI are uncomfortable, as requires reflection on our own ethics & society generally. Algorithms do not have ethics, but people do.”

“Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform every industry and to overcome the biggest challenges facing society – but needs to be better understood, according to a report published by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

In a blog published by the organisation, Esra Kasapoglu and Sara El-Hanfy of Innovate UK argue that those developing and deploying AI solutions ‘are aware of the dangers and unintended consequences of AI and prepare for them.”

“Behind the pay-as-you-go pricing model, the public cloud is teeming with the latest and greatest development, devops, and AI tools for building better and smarter applications faster.

When we think of the public cloud, often the first consideration that comes to mind is financial: Moving workloads from near-capacity data centers to the cloud reduces capital expenditures (CapEx) but increases operating expenditures (OpEx). That may or may not be attractive to the CFO, but it isn’t exactly catnip for developers, operations, or those who combine the two as devops.”
