Economists are warning about the impact of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs, citing concerns that AI will not only replace workers but also change the nature of work. About 1 in 5 jobs in the D-FW area are highly exposed to AI, but experts believe that human aspects of work will become more important as AI takes over automatable tasks.
Meanwhile, Netflix has acquired Ben Affleck's AI film-tech startup InterPositive for $587 million to enhance its productions. The startup uses AI to speed complex shots and postproduction while preserving creative control. In other AI-related news, Databricks has launched an internal data and AI marketplace called Discover, which aims to streamline how organizations find and utilize their data assets.
Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, is scraping X posts by default, but users can opt out of model training and personalization. X offers several ways to control when public data and interactions with Grok are used to train AI systems. China Unidata has also launched a 'holographic' digital and intelligent platform that connects logistics networks using AI, aiming to provide logistics companies with quantifiable business value.
The US and China will hold talks on AI in September to discuss regulating advanced AI models and mitigating potential risks. A new report by Quantro Security reveals that AI has collapsed the economics of vulnerability exploitation, with AI agents developing verified proof-of-concept exploits at a median cost of $2.83 and a median time of 11 minutes. Lossdog CEO Tom Sosnoff discusses AI and investment portfolio optimization techniques, highlighting the evolving nature of equity quality in the age of AI.
