When ChatGPT made its grand entrance, ripples of excitement and fear across the business world were tremendous. Of course, the “AI versus human” theorists immediately began to paint a grim picture of how this kind of technology would wipe out jobs. Within the human resources world, there’s also been particular concern about biases present in machine learning protocols. But throwing the baby out with the bathwater is simply absurd, especially with the ongoing competition for talent. As a hiring professional, incorporating AI into your practices can unveil infinite possibilities.

Madelyn Skylar 2 weeks ago

There is a lot of hype around the potential of AI these days. Fueled by the rise of ChatGPT and the subsequent race for AI supremacy, all the Big Tech gang are looking to get a piece of the action.

There’s no danger of the opportunity being overhyped, according to Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann. In fact, the 5-star analyst knows exactly which company is best positioned to benefit the most from this huge development.

But as the Industrial Revolution gathered momentum, steam-powered mills threatened the livelihood of thousands of artisanal textile workers.

Faced with an industrialized future that threatened their jobs and their professional identity, a growing number of textile workers turned to direct action. Galvanized by their leader, Ned Ludd, they began to smash the machines that they saw as robbing them of their source of income.

Two of my major interests converged fascinatingly at the recent RSA conference in San Francisco. One is information security. The event is named after three famous cryptographers (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman), and I’ve been a fan of them and this conference for a long time. How long? I taught Canada’s first information security course on Oct. 14, 1977. The number of people who can challenge that claim gets smaller every year.
