🗞️ LATEST NEWS & TRENDS

1️⃣ Generative AI is advancing rapidly, finding valuable applications beyond white-collar domains into "deskless" sectors like hospitality. A notable instance is Legion Copilot, embedded in Legion Technologies' workforce management platform, aiding food service industry workers in enhancing skills and productivity through conversational interactions. This AI not only simplifies schedule management but also fosters better guest experiences by automating mundane tasks, allowing staff to focus on service quality, a critical aspect in the current labor-strapped scenario.

2️⃣ Generative AI technology companies are escalating computing demands, significantly hiking energy expenses and potentially bottlenecking server supply chains. Dutch researcher Alex de Vries highlights the environmental concerns tied to AI's electricity usage, especially during training phases of large models. Contrarily, he suggests the inference phase might also contribute substantially to life-cycle costs. Despite efforts to boost AI efficiency, de Vries argues this might increase demand, exacerbating energy consumption, and urges critical assessment of AI necessity and regulatory interventions for environmental transparency.

AI Content Generation Courses

🗞️ WORK

In 2022, AI Insights exploited Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform, posting 70,000 tasks during a slow season, providing a fleeting hope for the Turkers. However, the company rejected all completed tasks without explanation, a move that denied payment to the workers, damaged their approval ratings, and showcased a glaring power imbalance. This ordeal illuminated the grim reality of "ghost work", exposing how the AI sector thrives on underpaid or unpaid labor, often from impoverished regions, while tech companies dismiss the adverse effects of AI on employment and communities.
