The CIA, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft are weighing in on the potential impact of AI on human workers. Lakshmi Raman, CIA AI officer, emphasized the importance of pushing for AI to "amplify" humans rather than replace them in the workplace. She stated that humans must remain "in the loop" as AI tools become more powerful and prevalent, with a strong emphasis on monitoring AI's impact on workers' skills enhancement. Jason Clinton, chief information security officer at Anthropic, highlighted the need for humans to take a supervisory role in AI implementations, acknowledging that soft skills offered by humans will be paramount. Joseph Larson, vice president of government at OpenAI, expressed the company's goal to develop AI for humanity's benefit, with plans to hire a chief economist to investigate potential economic ramifications.
Google's CEO of DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, emphasized the importance of "learning how to learn" in a rapidly changing world with Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforming education and the workplace. Speaking at an ancient Roman theater in Athens, Hassabis predicted that AI could arrive within a decade and bring about "radical abundance" despite acknowledged risks. He stressed the need for "meta-skills," such as understanding how to learn and optimizing one's approach to new subjects, alongside traditional disciplines like math, science, and humanities. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joined Hassabis at the event to discuss ways to expand AI use in government services, warning that the continued growth of huge tech companies could create great global financial inequality.

Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, is seeking texts from Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk's employee and mother of his child. Attorneys argue that Zilis was a key conduit between Musk and OpenAI's co-founders, including discussions about a potential 2017 restructuring that would have given Musk a large equity stake. Altman's targeting of Zilis and fellow close associate, Birchall, may indicate a broader escalation in the legal fight. Musk's attorneys argue that Birchall and Zilis should not be forced to sit for two depositions each, citing a lack of time to produce their texts and Gmails.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to stop tracking emissions from the biggest polluters, including power plants and industrial facilities. The agency's decision to end its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which tracks pollution from 8,000 sites, would make it harder for the public and policymakers to track greenhouse-gas emissions from large swaths of the economy.
Iraq is turning to floating power stations to ease its electricity crisis. The country's gas problem is crucial for its economy and environment, as it relies heavily on imported oil. The solution involves building floating power stations that can generate electricity in the Persian Gulf, providing a reliable source of energy. This move aims to reduce Iraq's reliance on imported oil and mitigate the effects of the electricity crisis, which has been affecting the country's economy and daily life.
Cyber security experts are preparing for the worst as driverless vehicles become increasingly vulnerable to hacking. Researchers at Georgia Tech's Autonomous and Connected Transportation Laboratory are testing the effects of hacked self-driving vehicles on humans, with a focus on how people react to anomalies in autonomous vehicle behavior. The lab features a Ford Fusion simulator and a 360-degree view of a virtual environment, where test subjects' reactions are observed and recorded. Yangjiao Chen, a doctoral student at Georgia Tech, notes that connectivity is a basic attack vector for hackers and that even simple hacks could cause small traffic jams or escalate into more consequential events. Her research suggests that once humans are aware of the possibility of hacking, they become significantly more cautious and keep a safe distance.
