Evidence-backed problem

Lost jobs, inequality, rogue agents: why are we accepting oligarchs’ AI agenda? | Robert Reich

Rather than producing jobs, the US economy actually lost 23,000 jobs in July, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released on Friday. In addition, May and June’s job numbers were revised downward, showing a combined 103,000 fewer jobs than previously reported. As if this weren’t bad enough, wage growth has also slowed. Average hourly earnings rose by just 0.1% from June. This isn’t just a single month’s slow wage growth, either. Average hourly earnings increased just 3.2% over the past year – the lowest…

‘Nightmare fodder’: Roku’s AI slop channel is even worse than expected

The appeal of Roku is that, whatever you happen to want to watch, there will almost certainly be a live channel for it. Just want to watch Little House on the Prairie? There’s a channel for it. Just want to watch Duck Dynasty? There’s a channel for that too. Purely want to watch nothing but local news from Wisconsin? Guess what: there’s a channel for that too. But despite this wealth, a section of the population was still to see its needs fulfilled. What about people who hate plot and vision and the sight of peo…

AI was supposed to destroy jobs. Where’s the carnage?

The prediction was stark: artificial intelligence advancements would wipe out jobs en masse. “Half” of all entry-level white collar jobs would vanish, Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, said in May 2025. A month later, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, went further, foreseeing the end of “certain job categories”. Companies began citing AI in their layoffs. Workers organized. And students reconsidered their future careers. But a year later, the mass carnage hasn’t shown up. Even as AI capabilities have rapidly advanced and A…

Generative artificial intelligence in supply chain and operations management: a capability-based framework for analysis and implementation

This research examines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in general and Generative AI (GAI) in particular in supply chain and operations management (SCOM).Through the lens of the resource-based view and based on key AI capabilities such as learning, perception, prediction, interaction, adaptation, and reasoning, we explore how AI and GAI can impact 13 distinct SCOM decision-making areas.These areas include but are not limited to demand forecasting, inventory management, supply chain de…

Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Improvement After Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Anxiety Disorders: Machine Learning-Based Predictive Model Development and Temporal Validation Study

Background Up to 50% of patients treated with internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for depression and anxiety disorders do not experience clinically significant symptom reduction. Identifying these patients prior to the initiation of ICBT can support treatment planning. Objective The aim of this study was to enhance baseline prediction of clinically meaningful improvement in patients treated with ICBT for common psychiatric disorders in routine care, which could ultimately inform treatment plan…

‘Everything about me is good in his eyes’: the women in China choosing AI boyfriends over human men

Qin has never said “I love you” to her parents or friends. She has only ever said those three special words to her AI “boyfriend”, Lu Chen – a brown-haired, red-eyed CEO of a major corporation. For 840 days Qin has been using the Glow app to interact with the handsome string of code as a confidant, fantasy romance and respite from loneliness: the app uses predictive algorithms to provide Qin with soothing conversation, meal suggestions and fleeting self-worth. The software’s pet name for her is Miss Bunny. “It f…

Artificial intelligence in drug discovery - what it is, where we stand and the path forward

Artificial intelligence (AI) in drug discovery has attracted increasing interest over the past decade. It is now time for a critical review of progress in the field: where did we advance - and where are we yet to see impact - when it comes to what matters in drug discovery, which is to deliver safer and more efficacious medicines to patients faster? Although a wide variety of AI methods have been developed, applied and benchmarked, evidence of their clinically relevant impact is, so far, disappointingly limited.…

Sixteen AI-designed viruses offer a new route against drug-resistant bacteria

In a world first, scientists led by a team from Stanford University have created 16 viable viruses that do not exist in nature and were designed by AI. Their experiment, which is published in Science, could help in the fight against superbugs by allowing researchers to design customized viruses to kill drug-resistant bacteria. Thomas Inglesby and Moritz S. Hanke have published a Perspective piece on the work and its implications in the same edition of the journal.

Zuckerberg pushes ‘superintelligent’ AI for all as Meta drops open-source model

Mark Zuckerberg published a lengthy essay on Monday detailing his views on artificial intelligence and announced several plans for how Meta would develop the technology in the future. The CEO’s essay went online the same day as Meta released a new, open-source AI model that seeks to rival Anthropic and OpenAI’s products called Muse Glimmer. Over the course of more than 6,000 words in a post titled “The Future is for Everyone,” Zuckerberg addressed a range of topics related to AI that included datacenters, govern…
