The rise of AI and remote assistants

#artificialintelligence

Give us your feedback Thank you for your feedback. Whether you leave business school to become a corporate manager, a professional high performer or an entrepreneur, you will spend much of your time on tasks unrelated to your expertise. Only the most senior executives now have dedicated personal assistants and so the more mundane work of email, scheduling meetings and booking travel eats up your time. A new generation of employees is looking for ways to reclaim that time so they can spend it finding solutions to serious problems: the work that will get them credit and help them advance. This work also develops their expertise and helps them remain valuable when artificial intelligence finally becomes clever enough to do all the most predictable tasks.

Google Is Playing Defense Instead of Setting the Agenda

#artificialintelligence

Thousands of people gathered near Google's headquarters on Wednesday to hear the company's vision for the future. In past years, Google has used its developers' conference to unveil all sorts of shiny new toys and services. Not all of them have been smash hits, however. Google Glass had its big coming-out party at I/O in 2012, after all. Google TV was the star of 2010. And remember the Nexus Q, the orb-shaped music player that never even reached the market?
