'INDUSTRIAL COMEBACK': Vice President JD Vance knocked recent globalization efforts that use "cheap labor as a crutch" while simultaneously hampering innovation on the global scale during a Tuesday tech and artificial intelligence speech. NO MORE CHORES: Developed by the artificial intelligence company 1X, NEO Gamma isn't your clunky, metallic automaton. It is designed to be a helpful, almost human-like assistant. AI DASHCAM DILEMMA: The trucking industry is in the midst of a technological revolution, thanks to the arrival of artificial intelligence-powered dashcams. These innovative devices promise to make roads safer and operations more efficient, but they also raise some important questions about privacy.

Vice President JD Vance joined the American Dynamism Summit in Washington, D.C., March 18 to discuss the future of AI. WASHINGTON -- Vice President JD Vance knocked recent globalization efforts that use "cheap labor as a crutch" while simultaneously hampering innovation on the global scale during a Tuesday tech and artificial intelligence speech. "Our workers, the populists, on the one hand, the tech optimists on the other, have been failed by this government," he said. "Not just the government of the last administration, but the government in some ways of the last 40 years, because there were two conceits that our leadership class had when it came to globalization." Vance explained that recent globalization efforts falsely assumed that world leaders could "separate the making of things from the design of things," citing the belief was that poorer nations would create goods such as cellphones, while wealthier nations would move "further up the value change."

He weighs a little over 100 pounds, has auburn dyed hair, and wears a hoodie emblazoned with the words "Dope Shit." But in China's rise to superpower status, the 20-year-old student is a foot soldier playing a vital role. Yin works at Bainiaohe Digital Town, a tech hub set deep in the tree-covered hills of China's southwestern province of Guizhou. The region is traditionally known for growing tea and producing fiery Moutai liquor, but today it's luring Yin, and hundreds of young Chinese like him, to work in the booming sector of Artificial Intelligence or AI. For eight hours each day, they sit at computer terminals on brightly colored swivel chairs and help refine the reliability of facial and voice recognition software, driverless car programs, and even mobile apps that are used to identify plants and insects.

A 29-year-old Nepalese student in Tokyo has found herself stuck in limbo with her dreams derailed, and the state of Japan's language schools is to blame. A survivor of human trafficking in the past, the woman, who wished to be identified only by her last name, Puri, came to Japan in 2014 as an exchange student. Brimming with high expectations at the time, she said she was determined to acquire a master's degree in sociology, with an emphasis on a subject dear to her, women's rights. Imagine her disappointment, then, when her dream was cut short by the Japanese-language school in Tokyo where she was studying. The school taught her only the very basics of the language, lumped her in with unmotivated students who frequently fell asleep in class and -- to her shock -- informed her that a vocational school was the only educational path it could prepare her for.

What's striking in these discussions is regardless of whether you fear or love AI bots, our future with them is inevitable. People are excited about Bots, both physical and digital, because they are the next wave of industrial revolution. Industrial revolutions are not defined by individual technological improvements, but changes in labor and distribution. During the 1st and 2nd industrial revolutions, many things were invented; from looms to steam engines to new smelting iron techniques. It was an Industrial Revolution because goods were no longer produced by human hands, but could be primarily outsourced to machines and manufacturing processes.
