Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will create labor shortages rather than replace human workers. Speaking at the VivaTech conference in Paris, Bezos disagreed with those who think AI will make humans redundant, instead believing it will unlock new opportunities and increase demand for human labor. This stance comes as companies cite AI as a leading reason for job cuts, accounting for 40% of all cuts in May.
Anthropic, a prominent AI lab, has faced restrictions from the US government on foreign nationals using its most powerful AI models, causing concern among US allies. Executives from top AI labs have urged Western democracies to work together to reap the benefits of the AI revolution.
Thales has launched an AI-powered platform, Gladiator Training Data Analytics, which converts data from land live training exercises into structured insights for After Action Reviews (AAR). The platform aggregates data from various sources to give trainees and instructors a shared view of field events. Additionally, Legit Security has introduced agentic AI to its AppSec remediation and risk reduction platform, offering parallel remediation across code bases and prioritizing real threats.
A survey found that 82% of midmarket organizations have AI in production or widespread use, but only 26% have AI scaled and governed enterprise-wide. The top barriers to scaling AI include security, data readiness, and integration complexity. Rhode Island has also issued guidance on the use of generative AI for lawyers, joining a growing number of states adopting AI guardrails for lawyers.
The growing demand for data centres to support AI use is creating opportunities for innovation, but also poses challenges for energy and water usage. Data centre design and operation need to be rethought to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. In this context, the AI-era CFO needs to balance risk and growth, investing through uncertainty and establishing governance for AI.
