Tech CEOs have a lot to manage, from earnings calls and board meetings to competition and employee morale.Now, in the age of AI, they also need a “boo strategy.”This year, graduates have heckled some executives during commencement speeches after the corporate leaders made optimistic comments about AI, reflecting a growing anxiety among students about to enter the job market.Students booed former Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the University of Arizona, while Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta drew backlash at Middle Tennessee State University after he discussed AI’s impact on music and media.So the hosts of the tech podcast “Hard…
I recently had the opportunity to test out a wearable from Bee, the AI wrist gadget that Amazon acquired last year and has since updated with a number of new features. Like other AI wearables, Bee is designed as a kind personal assistant: it records, transcribes, and summarizes the user’s conversations throughout the day, providing an ongoing note-taking capability that’s useful if you’re forgetful or just want to be more organized about your life. If you sync it with your calendar, it can also send you alerts and reminders about things you’re supposed to do throughout the day. TechCrunch has…

I happened to be on the toilet both times everything changed.The first was March 11, 2020, the day America’s eyes were opened to COVID.More than 4,000 people around the world had died before that date, but in the US, we were still ever so young and naive. It was a time when multiple media outlets were admonishing Andreessen Horowitz, not for extolling the virtues of “retardmaxxing” as the venture firm does these days, but for banning handshakes in its office to prevent the spread of the virus.That all changed on Wednesday, March 11. That day, the World Health Organization declared…
Jeremy Scott’s speech at a college graduation ceremony began with an AI-written speech, which could have ended in boos.Instead, the fashion designer received roaring applause.Scott’s commencement address at the Kansas City Art Institute on May 16 began predictably. He congratulated students on reaching the “threshold of a new beginning.” He said their “power is limitless.””Sounds kind of cliched, right? Doesn’t sound authentic, does it? Sounds like you’ve heard it before, right? It’s because it’s AI,” he revealed.Then, Scott ripped up his AI-written speech to laughs and loud cheers from the audience. He told the students they don’t want the “AI…

Formula One has become one of the world’s most popular sports, especially in the U.S., where Netflix’s “Drive to Survive” documented the working lives of F1 drivers and turned them into mainstream celebrities. The tech-centric sport has also become a hot ticket for tech companies like AWS, Oracle, and Anthropic, which partner with teams for sponsorship visibility and to provide data analytics and AI tools that can deliver a competitive edge. So when IBM went looking for its next major sports partnership,…
Has Elon Musk given up on Tesla’s Master Plans, on the electrified economy, on solar power as we know it? From the SpaceX IPO filing released this week, it sure seems like it. A recap for those not enmeshed in the Musk-verse: Tesla has released four Master Plans over the years, and while details have varied, the through line has been electrification of the economy. Musk put it best in his first edition: “the overarching purpose of Tesla motors…is to help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a solar electric economy.” But recently, one of Musk’s companies,…
I like my job. I would not like to be fired from my job for typing inappropriate things into Slack for all my coworkers to see. Or, at least, if that’s how I’m going to go out — and I’ll be honest, I feel like I’m always one accidental copy/paste from that, anyway — I’d like it to be something I wrote myself.Not AI transcribing reality show clips with vulgar language in messages to my bosses.My job, which I do not want to be fired from, sometimes involves testing new technologies, apps, or gadgets and reporting on my experiences with…
