☆ In a new hacking crime wave, much more personal data is being held hostage
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Kevin Travers | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Gorodenkoff | iStock | Getty ImagesThe cybersecurity world faces new threats beyond targeted ransomware attacks, according to experts at the recent RSA cybersecurity industry conference in San Francisco. McMann said hackers are now focusing on stealing customer or employee data and then threatening to leak it publicly. At the end of March, OpenAI documented a data leak in an open-source data provider that made it possible to see personal AI chat histories, payment information, and addresses. The team patched the leak in hours, but McMann said once data is out there, hackers can use it. "For example, the LastPass breach saw one of four key individuals targeted on their personal computer, through a personal public IP address getting in through an unpatched solution," he said.

But how many business leaders are currently using AI tech in day-to-day operations or plan to? Half of the companies ResumeBuilder surveyed in February said they are using ChatGPT; 30% said they plan to do so. Since the survey was completed, more professionals have started using generative AI. There has been a growing concern that generative AI could replace jobs, and perhaps not the ones most expected. On the hiring side, 82% of respondents said they had used generative AI for hiring in a recent ResumeBuilder update.

In an analysis of professions "most exposed" to the latest advances in large language models like ChatGPT, eight of the top 10 are teaching positions. Post-secondary teachers in English language and literature, foreign language, and history topped the list among educators. Jobs most 'exposed' to generative AI Rank Profession 1 Telemarketers 2 English Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary 3 Foreign Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary 4 History Teachers, Postsecondary 5 Law Teachers, Postsecondary 6 Philosophy and Religion Teachers, Postsecondary 7 Sociology Teachers, Postsecondary 8 Political Science Teachers, Postsecondary 9 Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Teachers, Postsecondary 10 SociologistsSource: "How will Language Modelers like ChatGPT Affect Occupations and Industries?" But affected jobs – or as the study officially describes it, jobs most "exposed to AI" – does not necessarily mean the human positions will be replaced. And for topics that are very dense, "ChatGPT can even help educators translate some of those lessons or takeaways in simpler language," he said.
☆ How Walmart is using A.I. to make shopping better for its millions of customers

Amid the recent flurry of excitement around the transformational potential of ChatGPT is the fact that companies have been using artificial intelligence across their businesses for years. But few companies have the ability to gather the massive data sets that power AI quite like Walmart . There are roughly 4,700 Walmart stores and 600 Sam's Clubs in the U.S. employing a combined 1.6 million workers — or associates as the company likes to call them. "[Customers] are generating all these breadcrumbs about what they like and want and that's allowing us to make the shopping experience better," she said. At Sam's, that means staying on top of roughly 6,000 items stacked on shelves in warehouse stores that average 136,000 sq.
☆ Female leadership in tech is falling

With the backdrop of Women's History Month, Tacy Byham, chief executive officer of DDI, an international human resources and leadership development consultancy company, says it's no surprise the number of women in tech leadership roles is still low. Her company's research over the past 20 years shows that while the number of women in technology leadership roles has been rising, it's only ever reached 33%. But across the entire tech sector, the percentage of women in tech leadership roles is trending down, currently at 28%, according to DDI's 2023 Global Leadership Forecast, which surveyed 1,827 human resources professionals and 13,695 business leaders from over 1,500 companies around the world. Compounding the problem is the fact that on average, most companies don't offer leadership training to employees until nearly four years after they start their role. "These tasks don't always give them the points they need to help them move from a mid-level leader to an executive-level leader," she said.

  + stars: | 2023-03-18 | by ( Kevin Travers | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Even so, it's harder to find and retain tech talent, according to a survey of 1,000 human resources professionals by General Assembly, a professional placement and talent recruitment firm. "I think it's better for tech talent because they are not confined to looking for a job at a 'tech company,'" she said. Create a vision, not just a jobParticularly when it comes to specialized talent, companies have to be intentional. It's about listeningColangelo said success in hiring tech talent comes down to listening well. As for the overall tech talent market, Colangelo said the supply and demand equation may be coming back into better balance.
