Artificial Intelligence Takes Center Stage at EEOC
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently released a draft of its new Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP), outlining its priorities in tackling workplace discrimination over the next four years. The playbook, published in the Federal Register in January, indicates that the agency will be on the lookout for discrimination caused by artificial intelligence (AI) tools. "The EEOC is signaling in its draft SEP that it intends to enforce federal nondiscrimination laws equally, whether the discrimination takes place through traditional recruiting or through the use of modern and automated tools," said Andrew M. Gordon, an attorney with the law firm Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Over the last decade, AI use in the workplace has skyrocketed. Nearly 1 in 4 organizations uses AI to support HR-related activities, according to a 2022 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
Artificial intelligence takes center stage at Nittany AI Challenge Celebration
The Penn State community is invited to virtually attend the Nittany AI Challenge Celebration, where nine student teams will present their minimum viable product for a chance to share in the remaining pool of $25,000 in funding. Saqib Shaikh, software engineering manager and project lead for the Seeing AI project at Microsoft, will be the keynote speaker. The event will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25, via Zoom. The following nine teams were chosen during preliminary rounds of the challenge and spent the past six months competing virtually from all over the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They stayed connected online as they worked out the final details of a solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) for good to address problems within the areas of education, health, humanitarian challenges, sustainability and climate change.
Artificial intelligence takes center stage at chamber event
The Greater Summerville Chamber of Commerce along with Dorchester Economic Development held a virtual, Industry Appreciation event. The virtual gathering, presented by TD Bank, took on the challenging subject of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Cathy Hayes from the South Carolina Research Authority, began discussing the modern industrial revolution or Industry 4.0, by saying, when it comes to adopting A.I. companies need to start small and foster a modern culture with a fresh mindset. Traditional thinkers are not welcome and for good reason. Artificial Intelligence has already arrived in everyday life.
Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Take Center Stage in Warehouse Automation
The writing is on the wall for traditional, manual-based processes in supply chain management, says Cade Metz of The New York Times. While Amazon leads the way, other companies, including carriers such as FedEx and DHL, are testing and developing robotic-based systems to speed operations. Unfortunately, limitations of robotics continue to exist, and adaptation is the only way to achieve greater opportunities. Supply chain leaders need to understand these current limitations, and how artificial intelligence and warehouse management lead to efficiency gains and the top benefits of AI-driven robotics. Today's level of robotics have severe limitations to mobility and use, says Steve Banker via Forbes.

Gaming and Artificial Intelligence Take Center Stage for NVIDIA
Graphics processor maker NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) recently reported its second-quarter fiscal 2019 results, with some fantastic outcomes. The company's total sales were up 40% from the year-ago quarter to $3.12 billion, which outpaced analysts' consensus estimate of $3.10 billion. NVIDIA's earnings of $1.76 per share also surpassed Wall Street's expectations of $1.66 per share and were up 91% year over year. Management has done a fantastic job of growing the company's top line, and the second quarter was no exception -- sales from the company's data center, gaming, professional visualization, and automotive segments all set records. To understand NVIDIA's growth and what investors can expect in the months ahead, we have to look beyond the numbers, though.
Artificial Intelligence takes center stage at Viva Tech Summit Africanews
