"In an eight-month study of how generative AI changed work habits at a U.S.-based technology company with about 200 employees, we found that employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so."

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consisten...

Research into actual behaviors at the workplace hints to AI not replacing work, but rather intensifying it. Sounds familiar with what other technologies did in the past, like the ability to connect & communicate at any time.

'AI That Understands You': Mark Zuckerberg Plans to Deepen AI's Presence in Our Online Lives "Glasses are the ultimate incarnation of this vision," he added.

Zuckerberg says glasses that integrate Meta's AI tech are "going to be able to see what you see, hear what you hear, talk to you, and help you as you go about your day".

It's not just about throwing money. The other key priority rightly expressed in the draghi report is to tear down internal EU trade barriers. PrioritIES really as it's a huge multi pronged effort

Brexit should have been a lesson. It's a misunderstanding of sovereignty. Individual countries that are not China or the US have to follow the rules set by major powers as they have no bargaining power.

Only together European countries are strong.

Welcomed explainer from @signal.org's president about last week's serious AWS-related incident. The concentration of infrastructure / resources among "hyperscalers" she points to is reminiscent to what exists with web search infrastructure.

Just like Google managed to cement dominance on browser and then mobile, its control over distribution points & data advantage is set to reproduce the same w/ AI.

It's a call for meaningful policy interventions, but also a call for the plurality of competitors to expand & deepen their partnerships

my latest for @techpolicypress.bsky.social on the US v. Google search antitrust case and just how badly the court missed the opportunity to contend with Google’s power in the genAI market. genAI won’t magically unseat Google’s market dominance, as the court suggests, it will only deepen it
