The bogus four-day workweek that AI supposedly 'frees up'

The Guardian

'We may see a dazzling array of products and services spawned by AI, but few of us will be able to buy them.' 'We may see a dazzling array of products and services spawned by AI, but few of us will be able to buy them.' The bogus four-day workweek that AI supposedly'frees up' Business leaders tout AI as a path to shorter weeks and better balance. The front-page headline in a recent Washington Post was breathless: "These companies say AI is key to their four-day workweeks. " The subhead was euphoric: "Some companies are giving workers back more time as artificial intelligence takes over more tasks." As the explained: "more companies may move toward a shortened workweek, several You may have come across similar articles in Fortune magazine and the New York Times. The AI spin brigade is in full force. Business leaders are rhapsodizing about how AI will free their employees to take more time off. Zoom's Eric Yuan told the Times that "A.I. can make all of our lives better, why do we need to work for five days a week?


AI enables a Who's Who of brown bears in Alaska

AI enables a Who's Who of brown bears in Alaska Being able to distinguish individual animals - including their unique history, movement patterns and habits - can help scientists better understand how their species function, and therefore better manage habitats and study population dynamics. Today, most computer vision systems for tracking animals are effective on species with patterns and markings, such as zebras, leopards and giraffes. The task is much more complicated for unmarked species where individual differences are harder to spot. Distinguishing a particular brown bear from its peers in a non-invasive way requires an incredible eye for detail and years of viewing the same bears over time. What's more, these bears emerge from hibernation in the spring with shaggy fur and having lost quite a bit of weight and then substantially increase their body weight feasting on salmon, as well as fully shedding their winter coat - that's enough to throw off experts as well as AI algorithms.

CondTSF: One-line Plugin of Dataset Condensation for Time Series Forecasting

Neural Information Processing Systems

The objective of dataset condensation is to ensure that the model trained with the synthetic dataset can perform comparably to the model trained with full datasets. However, existing methods predominantly concentrate on classification tasks, posing challenges in their adaptation to time series forecasting (TS-forecasting).
