Recent leaks of Waymo rider satisfaction scores reported by "The Information" (paywall) suggest that in the Phoenix area, Waymo has gotten 70% 5-star and 30% lesser feedback from riders over about 6,100 trips. Another 4,000 trips in the San Francisco Bay Area, taken by employees, have a lower score, with 47% having some problem. Problems included bad routes, occasional driving issues, being dropped off at less convenient spots and even a few worries about safety but no actual incidents. The analysis in the original piece is somewhat negative, feeling this feedback rate is problematic. I think in many ways it's a triumph. This is, after all, one of the most complex and difficult consumer product challenges ever attempted.

TD Bank Group is no stranger to artificial intelligence. It began using Kasisto's conversational AI platform to communicate with customers in 2017 and a year later bought AI technology startup Layer 6. It also started working with Flybits to use AI to personalize its mobile banking offering. But lately, the bank has been kicking those efforts up a notch -- deploying AI in every business line throughout the bank, conducting research to find out what consumers think about AI, and holding a recent roundtable with 18 experts from different industries to speak on responsible AI. Its experience could serve as a model for other institutions, some of which have struggled to implement AI.

India needs to pay attention to different weather conditions, including extreme events like tropical cyclones, heat waves and heavy monsoon rains, on the country as a whole as these essentially impact the population, a top meteorologist has said. Kevin Petty, director of science and forecasting for'The Weather Company', said extreme weather events should not be viewed as a "single-type trend" but seen holistically to understand the variety of impact they may have. "India, like a number of other countries, is going to have to pay attention to a variety of different types of weather conditions, particularly those extremes, whether it be a tropical cyclone, a heat wave, or you know, heavy, heavy rain during the monsoon period. All of those will essentially impact the population, as well as different aspects of operations in different ways," he said in an interaction with PTI. "I think instead of maybe looking at a single-type of trend, there is a need to look at a holistic approach here. And through that holistic approach, understand the variety of impact on the country as a whole," he said.

New York (CNN Business)Robots are getting better at doing human jobs. That's probably good for the economy -- but there are some serious downsides, too. Machines are expected to displace about 20 million manufacturing jobs across the world over the next decade, according to a report released Wednesday by Oxford Economics, a global forecasting and quantitative analysis firm. That means about 8.5% of the global manufacturing workforce could be displaced by robots. The report also notes that the move to robots tends to generate new jobs as fast as it automates them, however it could contribute to income inequality.
