'The ludicrous valuations of AI startups are predicated on the idea that this technology has the power to eliminate the very need for human labor.' 'The ludicrous valuations of AI startups are predicated on the idea that this technology has the power to eliminate the very need for human labor.' AI will make the rich unfathomably richer. Is this really what we want? The'knowledge economy' promised cultural and social growth. Instead, we got worsening inequality and division. R ecently, Palantir - a tech corporation that boasts no fewer than five billionaire executives - announced its Q2 earnings: over a billion dollars generated in a single quarter.

Public high school in America was the product of the time of its invention, which was way back in 1821. But in this era of rapid technological change marked by artificial intelligence and robots moving into more aspects of work and social life, maybe the way teaching is done in high school needs a reboot. It is framed around the thought experiment: What would an ideal high school of the year 2040 look like? The tour guides of this imagined school of the future are two authors: Jim Tracy, a senior advisor at the nonprofit Jobs for the Future who in his career has led private K-12 schools and served as a college president; and Greg Toppo, longtime education journalist. They instead focus on how coming technological change will end up shifting the relationship between people and machines, and therefore between students and teachers.

RADAR journalists use a tool called Arria Studio, which offers a glimpse of what writing automated content looks like in practice. The author writes fragments of text controlled by data-driven if-then-else rules. For instance, in an earthquake report you might want a different adjective to talk about a quake that is magnitude 8 than one that is magnitude 3. So you'd have a rule like, IF magnitude 7 THEN text "strong earthquake," ELSE IF magnitude 4 THEN text "minor earthquake." Tools like Arria also contain linguistic functionality to automatically conjugate verbs or decline nouns, making it easier to work with bits of text that need to change based on data.

According to the Annual Employability Survey by Aspiring Minds, 2.5% of Indian engineers possess technical skills in artificial intelligence (AI) that the industry requires Many sectors are aggressively adopting new-age technologies like machine learning, creating new job opportunities--however, a massive skills gap exists across industries. According to the Annual Employability Survey by Aspiring Minds, 80% of Indian engineers are not fit for jobs in the knowledge economy. Only 2.5% of them possess technical skills in artificial intelligence (AI) that the industry requires.

Eight years after Kennedy's initial so-called moonshot challenge, two American astronauts took the famous "one giant leap for mankind"--walking on the Moon for the first time. However, the bigger impact of that moonshot was the resultant building of a massive military and industrial innovation complex that propelled the US to the top of the industrial economy. The industrial economy, in simple terms, grew by selling excess production from one place to another by connected pathways. By 1975, the industrial economy was at its peak, with more than 1 billion places connected by rail, road and airways dominated by multinational companies born in the US, selling technology developed during the moonshot. The other spinoff of this moonshot was ARPANET, kicked off in 1966, which eventually became the internet. The internet gave rise to the knowledge economy driven by connecting people via the world wide web.

Education is the foundation any country is built upon. It is through education that our children can reach their full potential, both as principled, responsible citizens, and as being productive members of the country. But, how is it possible to build an education system which best develops the adults of tomorrow? It's not an easy task to build schools which will cater to the needs of those in the fast-changing world of the 21st Century. Education is the ability to pass knowledge.

All the same, it's one thing employers love to hate. Whenever an employer hires a worker, the understanding is that they have offered a fair wage for what you have to offer. Therefore, any time spent outside work should be for recuperating (recreation and sleep) from the busy day. That has been the thinking: "Eight hours labour, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest." It might have worked in the early 20th century, during the industrial revolution, but a rethink for the demands of the 21st century is long due.

Much as robots have transformed entire swaths of the manufacturing economy, artificial intelligence and automation are now changing information work, letting humans offload cognitive labor to computers. In journalism, for instance, data mining systems alert reporters to potential news stories, while newsbots offer new ways for audiences to explore information. Automated writing systems generate financial, sports and elections coverage. A common question as these intelligent technologies infiltrate various industries is how work and labor will be affected. In this case, who – or what – will do journalism in this AI-enhanced and automated world, and how will they do it?
