Is the Risk of AI Worth the Reward?

Is the Risk of AI Worth the Reward?

When I reflect on the fictional content I have encountered involving AI, I would estimate it to be over 90% dystopian. Ironically, because large language models are trained on content from the internet, they are not just biased towards problematic aspects of society, but even themselves. The concept of self-loathing AI is humorous and brings to mind Marvin from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. However, it is one of many realities that we must consider as AI is integrated into society.

In his book, Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of AI , MIT professor Max Tegmark explains his […]

How Generative AI is Changing the Global South’s IT Service Sector

How Generative AI is Changing the Global South’s IT Service Sector

The IT services that make up a significant portion of exports and employment in the Global South tend to be highly susceptible to automation by generative AI. Given the potential for countries to reshore and automate previously outsourced IT tasks, the Global South’s IT services appear vulnerable to AI adoption. However, policymakers in these countries can pursue policies to help their workers and industries adapt and benefit from AI.

Benefits Of Incorporating AI Into Robotics

Benefits Of Incorporating AI Into Robotics

Nearly three million industrial robots are currently employed in factories all over the world, as reported by the International Federation of Robots (IFR). Understanding Robotics And AI

As more and more sectors come to rely on them, robots are moving from the realm of science fiction and the hyperactive imagination to the mainstream.

Robotics is a subfield of AI that focuses on the design and implementation of autonomous robots and other intelligent machines. Robotics is interdisciplinary since robots are mechanically constructed, include electrical components, and are controlled by computer code. Although robots and AI are aimed at separate problems and […]

New Frontiers: The Origins and Content of New Work, 1940—2018

Technological change transforms economies and labor markets, reshaping the types of jobs that are available, the wages they pay, and the skills they require. Much recent empirical work has documented the displacement of labor from existing job tasks by automation technology, including robots and software. However, this literature has primarily treated the set of human job tasks as finite and static, implying that as automation proceeds, labor is confined to an ever-narrowing scope of activities. Casual observation and historical evidence suggest this is at odds with reality: as employment in (previously) labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, textiles, mining, and […]

Frank Zeni was a tool- and diemaker by trade. In 1979, he opened Clover Tool with the plan to supply tooling, support, and services to the automotive and construction industries.

It was a simple start in a 2,000-sq.-ft. facility that has since turned into anything but. In the early 80s, Zeni had hoped to employ up to 10 people. However, the industry and his reputation helped propel Clover Tool into a large operation, allowing it to shift its […]
