AI reduces hires, increases specialists

Analysts and central banks in Austria, Germany and Denmark found AI adoption reshaped labor markets, reducing hires at AI-using firms while sharply increasing demand for trained AI specialists.
Don Jr. & Eric have major investments in data centers and AI infrastructure.
Don. Jr's firm 1789 Capital also has shares in major tech companies working in AI.
Donald's own stock portfolio itself is heavily invested in Big Tech stocks.
When Trump says AI doesn't need guardrails, follow the money.

Banning "superintelligent" 🤢 AI plays right into industry rhetoric and keeps the focus off immediate, real world harms such as privacy, bias, and labor. Literally the same name of the silly Bostrom book everyone was reading 12 years ago.

On Democracy Now!, I floated a new theory: AI companies really have unleashed a killer monster that has slipped their control. But plot twist - the monster is human. And it's the President of the United States.

I have a hard time imagining any significant US AI regulation while Trump is president, but in the meantime people can discuss the possibilities and have things ready for 2029.
Lawmakers are expressing broader willingness to regulate AI development, but the path forward may not be a quick one. n.pr/4AhwL0U
Congress is under pressure to act on AI — here's what that could look like

There’s a lot of doom & gloom around how AI is affecting higher education.
To a certain extent, I get it. AI is making some things harder.
But I’ve found that AI has in some ways greatly enhanced my teaching.
For one, it’s opened up applied activities that weren’t possible before.

I introduced Ada, an AI matchmaker inside ConnectAmericas, the Inter-American Development Bank's free business platform, and shared evidence on Ada's trade effects.

We've already seen that the recent calls by AI industry leaders to ‘pace the frontier’ are insufficient, and their suggestions that we must weaken antitrust protections in order to confront the AI threat are transparently self-serving.

The questions are 'which AI tools' and 'used how'?
Presumably UKRI is using (say) CoPilot, secured to UKRI, not feeding applications into commercial training models without applicants' knowledge or consent.
And presumably (never presume) the pilots are built with past UKRI EDI failures in mind.

Turn to AI in research grant assessment ‘is inevitable’.
UKRI becomes first mover to explore automation for processing applications, as other British funders hesitate.
