☆ Cushman & Wakefield's CIO believes in embracing AI to manage buildings, serve landlords, and help tenants
▼ + stars: | 2023-12-20 | by ( Josée Rose | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Cushman helps landlords fill their spaces, from office buildings to retail stores to warehouses, and aids companies in finding space to lease. If they're managing a big office building, for example, they'll work out of that building rather than a Cushman office. Cushman uses AI chatbots to supplement its other offerings for client support to solve their problems faster. AI, Companieh said, can help Cushman employees "maximize their time to best serve the client." The misuse of AI technology is obviously at the forefront of a lot of our thoughts.

☆ In an internal meeting, Nvidia's CEO addressed a question about employees in 'semi-retirement' mode as unusual tension grows

Many Nvidia employees have become incredibly rich after the company's stock is up by about 1,200% over the past five years. Nvidia employees are also rarely put on performance-improvement plans, unlike some of its competitors, such as Amazon . Despite a growing number of companies launching their own in-house chips, Nvidia employees say they don't feel the competitive pressure yet. Three Nvidia employees, however, told BI that those chips never came up in customer conversations because, in their view, of Nvidia's superior performance. In other ways, Nvidia employees haven't let their riches go to their heads.

Hispanic teens are also more likely to use the Meta-owned WhatsApp messaging service than Black or white teens, the report noted. The Pew Research survey was based on the responses of nearly 1,500 13- to 17-year-olds between Sept. 26, 2023, and Oct. 23, 2023.

☆ Meta to expand encryption on Messenger making it similar to WhatsApp
▼ + stars: | 2023-12-07 | by ( Jonathan Vanian | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Because of the encryption technology "nobody, including Meta, can see what's sent or said, unless you choose to report a message to us," Loredana Crisan, the head of Messenger, wrote in an accompanying blog post . Since 2016, Messenger users could choose, or opt-in, to safeguarding their chats via a process referred to as end-to-end encryption, which scrambles peoples' communications so that third-parties can't eavesdrop and access the data. Although Meta's other messaging app, WhatsApp, also utilizes end-to-end encryption, privacy advocates have generally considered Signal to be a more secure communication service because it collects less user data. "After years of work rebuilding Messenger, we've updated the app with default end-to-end encryption for all personal calls and messages," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. In 2022, Meta conducted a test on Messenger that let users back up their end-to-end encrypted conversations in case they needed to access them on another device.

The path to financing the world's transition to green energy remains unclear. Financing the green energy transition is a trillion-dollar question. AdvertisementThe Deloitte Financing the Green Energy Transition report outlines some core financial levers, starting with a fundamental financial principle: the riskier the project, the higher the cost of capital. The report estimates that getting this right could ultimately reduce financing costs by around $50 trillion by 2050. So, what are the associated risks, and what steps can we take to mitigate them and, consequently, reduce financing costs?

There is growing evidence that artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT can make you more efficient and capable at work. And the effect will be particularly noticeable if no one else in the company is using AI in this way. All said that outsourcing time-consuming, small jobs to AI tools freed up their time. AI at work still needs careful handlingThere are obvious caveats to using AI to do your work for you. Some companies also have specific rules for AI tools due to fears around copyright or data security.

The San Fernando Valley, once an endless ramble of orange groves in Southern California that evolved into the porn capital of the world in the 1970s and later gave way to big-box retailers and strip malls, will now become the home of the 2021 season’s Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams. In a $650 million land deal by the team’s owner, Stan Kroenke, Rams executives laid out their vision last week for revitalizing nearly 100 acres in the valley’s Woodland Hills neighborhood into a sports-centric, live-work-play development, including a practice facility and team headquarters. The deal includes two properties owned by Westfield, a shopping center developer that is pulling out of the U.S. market, as well as an abandoned 13-story building and parking lot that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield owned. After the coronavirus pandemic hastened the embrace of online retail and remote work, blighted malls and office buildings have closed their doors. The vacant properties and their adjoining parking lots now offer a chance to redevelop valuable square footage in neighborhoods like Woodland Hills.
