More than 1,000 Amazon workers warn rapid AI rollout threatens jobs and climate

The Guardian

Workers say the firm's'warp-speed' approach fuels pressure, layoffs and rising emissions More than 1,000 Amazon employees have signed an open letter expressing "serious concerns" about AI development, saying that the company's "all-costs justified, warp speed" approach The letter, published on Wednesday, was signed by the Amazon workers anonymously, and comes a month after Amazon announced mass layoff plans as it increases adoption of AI in its operations. Among the signatories are staffers in a range of positions, including engineers, product managers and warehouse associates. Reflecting broader AI concerns across the industry, the letter was also supported by more than 2,400 workers from companies including Meta, Google, Apple and Microsoft . The letter contains a range of demands for Amazon, concerning its impact on the workplace and the environment. Staffers are calling on the company to power all its data centers with clean energy, make sure its AI-powered products and services do not enable "violence, surveillance and mass deportation", and form a working group comprised of non-managers "that will have significant ownership over org-level goals and how or if AI should be used in their orgs, how or if AI-related layoffs or headcount freezes are implemented, and how to mitigate or minimize the collateral effects of AI use, such as environmental impact".

The Download: the mysteries surrounding weight-loss drugs, and the economic effects of AI

MIT Technology Review

What we still don't know about weight-loss drugs Weight-loss drugs have been back in the news this week. First, we heard that Eli Lilly, the company behind Mounjaro and Zepbound, became the first healthcare company in the world to achieve a trillion-dollar valuation. But we also learned that, disappointingly, GLP-1 drugs don't seem to help people with Alzheimer's disease. And that people who stop taking the drugs when they become pregnant can experience potentially dangerous levels of weight gain. On top of that, some researchers worry that people are using the drugs postpartum to lose pregnancy weight without understanding potential risks. All of this news should serve as a reminder that there's a lot we still don't know about these drugs.
