Three years ago, becoming an AI expert would involve "deep knowledge in machine learning algorithms, deep learning AI in general, and a lot of technical things," said Hu, who works through Fiverr on chatbot implementation projects. The rise of generative AI is rapidly reshaping the freelance tech job market, with AI-related job posts from employers and searches among job seekers surging across career and freelance job platforms, including LinkedIn, Upwork and Fiverr. There is opportunity for freelancers expert in AI to take advantage of the lack of AI skills among existing industry professionals, across sectors of the economy. She added that independent methods of education, including YouTube videos or blogs focused on AI skills, are becoming more sought after in the workforce. Hu said to start with the basics, including use of OpenAI tools, like ChatGPT, ChatGPT API, Dall-E, and davinci.

"From our perspective, AI looks like a really big data problem," said Ben Golub, CEO of decentralized cloud storage company Storj. This startup is joined by legacy enterprises like Dell and IBM in tackling data storage efficiency for economic and environmental sustainability. For those that do go decentralized, Lewis says it's still important to maintain what he calls "centralized management of a decentralized architecture." IBM recently launched its Cloud Carbon Calculator, an AI-informed dashboard designed to give clients access to standards-based greenhouse gas emissions data and help manage their cloud carbon footprint. Which workloads are best suited for a decentralized data storage model?

In this article UPWK Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNTMemorystockphoto | Istock | Getty ImagesFor organizations creating a long-term strategy around generative artificial intelligence, the technology has the capacity to create jobs for humans, not just automate them. Then there are even more nuanced roles, such as AI ethicists (whose job is, essentially, to maintain a responsible AI framework). Not only are there more types of jobs as a result of the generative AI boom, but companies are actually hiring more because of the generative AI surge. That's why experts say upskilling existing employees is essential to any organization's AI integration. AI is fast — business consulting firm Accenture's report on so-called "AI maturity" predicts that AI transformation will occur 13% faster than overall digital transformation through 2024.

WASHINGTON, July 19 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve said on Wednesday it fined Deutsche Bank and its U.S. affiliates $186 million for failing to sufficiently address money laundering and other shortcomings flagged by the U.S. central bank. The Fed identified the previous issues in 2015 and 2017 consent orders, which stemmed from deficient controls in Deutsche's relationship with the Estonian branch of Danske Bank which ended in 2015. In December, Danske Bank pleaded guilty to a bank fraud conspiracy and agreed to forfeit $2 billion to settle a long-running Department of Justice probe into billions of dollars of illicit payments. In its latest order, the Fed said it found a "significant portion" of the $276 billion in transactions Deutsche cleared for Danske involved "high-risk non-resident customers." Shortcomings in Deutsche's policies on money laundering persisted after its relationship with Danske ended in 2015, the Fed said.

Despite a bloated pipeline of companies waiting to go public and a rebound in tech stocks that pushed the Nasdaq up 30% in the first half of 2023, the IPO drought continues. Last Friday, Israeli beauty and tech company Oddity, which runs the Il Makiage and Spoiled Child brands, filed to go public on the Nasdaq. "You can make 15%-20% in the stock market but lose 15%-20%." "I think that’s done some harm to the traditional IPO market." With the public market still pretty closed, they're asking for alternatives."

There's an automation revolution taking place and blockchain technology could play a pivotal role in it, according to Scott Helfstein. "As we think about … this broader transition towards automation and digitalization, blockchain can really play an important role in securing information and facilitating data management," he said. Helfstein broke AI into various levels, from infrastructure providers like semiconductor companies and graphic chip makers to algorithm providers like OpenAI and its ChatGPT. Across all of it though is blockchain technology and a way to secure information fed into AI algorithms. Crypto is "interesting," he said, but corporate investment is pouring into automation and blockchain will play a "critical" role in its development.

Why It Matters: Beijing’s open-source intelligence collection could give it an advantage. As the relationship between the United States and China has become more adversarial, both countries are investing more in their intelligence collection capabilities. For example, the report details some of the work one prominent Chinese open-source intelligence company has done to analyze publicly available insights from the Office of Net Assessment, the Pentagon’s in-house think tank. Naval War College has a China Maritime Studies Institute, and it produces a lot of open-source research on China,” said Zoe Haver, a threat intelligence analyst with Recorded Future. China’s secret intelligence-gathering abilities have grown in leaps and bounds in recent decades, and Beijing’s investment in open-source information has intensified over the last decade.

Mick Ryan, the author and a strategist, says militaries need to "come to grips" with what is coming. The scene comes from a new novel, "White Sun War: The Campaign for Taiwan," written by a former military officer. "That is especially the case when the ratio of humans to autonomous systems in militaries is going to flip," Ryan told Insider. "We are not at the point yet where robotic systems are able to match humans in decision making," Ryan said. And these autonomous systems will have many similar flaws. "
"It's just a really precarious time of year for airline employees," Anthony Cataldo, a flight attendant for American Airlines with 33 years' experience, told Insider. Such predictions have left some airline workers anxious about carrying the industry through what could be a record-breaking travel season, four mainline pilots and flight attendants told Insider. Compared to last summer, airline staffing levels have largely improved, with Delta and United hiring thousands of new employees this year. The Southwest and American Airlines pilot unions both voted to authorize a strike this month. Air traffic control remains understaffedAs of April, the crowded airspace around New York City had 129 certified air traffic controllers — just over half of the staffing target of 226 — with 67 air traffic controllers in training, according to aviation firm Rinaldi Consultants.
[1/2] A Toyota logo is seen during the New York International Auto Show, in Manhattan, New York City, U.S., April 5, 2023. REUTERS/David 'Dee' DelgadoTOKYO, May 12 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) said on Friday the vehicle data of 2.15 million users in Japan, or almost the entire customer base who signed up for its main cloud service platforms since 2012, had been publicly available for a decade due to human error. The issue, which began in November 2013 and lasted until mid-April, stemmed from human error, leading to a cloud system being set to public instead of private, a Toyota spokesperson said. It could encompass details such as vehicle locations and identification numbers of vehicle devices, but there were no reports of malicious use, the company said. Toyota said it would introduce a system to audit cloud settings, establish a system to continuously monitor settings, and thoroughly educate employees on data handling rules.
Goldman Sachs' Marco Argenti told a conference how he assesses AI's return on investment. Firms can use AI to "superhumanize" talent, Argenti said. The top financial services firms, like Goldman Sachs, are looking to use artificial intelligence to "superhumanize" their talent. Generative artificial-intelligence will enhance productivity and efficiency across financial services, according to Marco Argenti, chief information officer at Goldman Sachs. Within Goldman Sachs, Argenti said the bank is looking to apply generative AI to data management, data classification, and workflow creation.
