Persistent Overworking Of AI Developers Endangers Crucial AI Systems: The Case Of Autonomous Cars - AI Trends

You have your sleeping bag at the office for those overnight non-stop coding deadlines that require you to work on the AI system until you get the particular component working right. Turns out, you've been using the sleeping bag quite a bit lately. Furthermore, you often find yourself telling friends that you cannot spare time to go with them to an evening excursion at the local pubs, due to having to stay at work. The moment you get to work in the morning, you are bombarded with tons of very intense coding to be done, and of course eating lunch at your desk is the only means to try and keep your head above water (no time to go out and get food or heaven forbid sit at a restaurant and eat lunch there). It's a do-or-die culture at the workplace and you are immersed in it up to your teeth. Welcome to the typical workplace conditions for AI developers doing AI self-driving driverless autonomous car systems work. In fact, if you were to go from building to building in a place like Silicon Valley, you are likely to find tons of developers all suffering the same fate.
