Oh, wonderful people of 2025! You're probably sitting there right now, eagerly awaiting your new robot butler to arrive from Amazon Prime Robotic Delivery.  After all, that's what all those AI prophets promised us, right? A humanoid helper that will finally tackle that mountain of dishes that's been giving you the stink eye since last Tuesday. A Totally Scientific* Guide to Robot Roommates Let me tell you a story about Pepper, the robot that was supposed to revolutionize our lives back in 2014. Poor Pepper – imagine R2-D2's awkward cousin who showed up at family gatherings, tried to tell jokes, and ended up standing in the corner looking confused.  SoftBank claimed it was "powered by love," which sounds suspiciously like something you'd tell a child when the batteries run out. After 27,000 units, they pulled the plug – quite literally.  Now you can find these mechanical wallflowers in Japanese libraries, their heads bowed in silent contemplation of wh...

The tech giant that brought you things like "Don't be evil" (remember that?) and the ability to find out how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop (spoiler alert: it's way more than three), is about to unleash its latest creation upon an unsuspecting world. Don't Be Evil... (But We'll Try Not To): The Jarvis Project They're calling it Jarvis, after Tony Stark's snarky AI sidekick from those Iron Man movies.  You know, the one that always one-ups Tony and probably judges his fashion choices? Well, this Jarvis isn't quite as sassy (yet), but it's still pretty darn impressive. Apparently, Google accidentally let the cat out of the bag, or rather, the Jarvis out of the Chrome Web Store. It was like a digital Easter egg hunt gone wrong, with the prize being an AI that can basically do your online chores. Imagine this: You're sitting on the couch, nursing a lukewarm beer and scrolling through travel websites....

"Alexa, turn on the lights!" - "Playing 'Light My Fire' by The Doors."   Well, get ready for the next level of technological confusion, because here comes Agentic AI, the personal assistant that doesn't just misunderstand you - it takes initiative to misunderstand you in completely new and exciting ways! The AI Revolution 2.0: When Your Computer Finally Gets Off The Couch Picture this: It's 2025, and your AI agent is like that overachieving colleague who's had way too much coffee. It's not just sitting there waiting for commands; it's bouncing around your digital space, making decisions, setting goals, and probably reorganizing your entire photo collection by how many people are wearing hats in each picture. Because why not? "But wait," you might say, "isn't this just another fancy term for AI?" Oh, my sweet summer child. This is like comparing a bicycle to a rocket-powered unicycle. Regular AI is like a tale...

The job market?  It's no picnic. It's a bloody battlefield, a gladiatorial battle for the last scraps. Everyone against everyone, elbows out and teeth bared.    In the past, people used to talk to each other, but today people's throats are cut during job interviews. And if you're not fast enough or good enough, you'll end up on the sidelines. Sounds harsh?    It is. But hey, that's reality.  Survival of the fittest  , or as the saying goes. Only those who persevere have a chance.   Or maybe the world of work is more of a playground? A place where we can let off steam, learn new things and develop our skills.   Well, unfortunately it's not quite that simple. The truth lies somewhere in between. The world of work is a complex system that is constantly changing. And we all have to adapt to this change.   Career or carcass? Fight for survival     1: Labor market – A paradise for optimists and pessimists The j...

Let me tell you about a country that's trying to teach artificial intelligence proper table manners.  Yes, I'm talking about Japan, where they're not just worried about whether AI will take over the world – they're worried about whether it will remember to take its shoes off first! The Robot Revolution: How Japan is Teaching AI to Bow Correctly You see, Japan is in quite the pickle. They're sitting on this mountain of technological capability – third place globally in R&D spending, which is like getting a bronze medal in the Olympics of throwing money at computers.  But when it comes to actually using this technology?  Well, that's where things get about as smooth as wasabi-flavored ice cream. Picture this: Japan's corporate world is like that one friend we all have who bought a smartphone but still writes everything down in a tiny notebook "just to be sure."   According to some fancy rankings (I'm looking at you, IMD World Digital Compet...

You know what's funny about the future? It's not quite what we imagined. We thought we'd have flying cars by now, but instead we got AI that can order groceries for us. I mean, sure, it's not as flashy as a hover-convertible, but have you ever tried to remember everything you need for a lasagna recipe? That's right, we're living in the era where even your shopping list is getting smarter than you. Help Wanted: Robot Butler Let me introduce you to the latest technological wonder: AI agents. Think of them as digital butlers, except they don't judge you when you order pizza for the third time this week. These aren't your regular chatbots that just sit there spitting out dad jokes and weather forecasts. No, these are more like those overachieving colleagues who actually get things done while the rest of us are still trying to remember our password. Remember the Roomba? That adorable little hockey puck that bumps around your living room like a drunk guest...

A world where magical machines do everything for us - from driving cars to autonomeous making money - while we humans sit back and sip our artisanal oat milk lattes.  Sounds like a Silicon Valley wet dream, right? Well, because the reality of artificial intelligence is about as " artificial " as my grandmother's homemade apple strudel - which is to say, heavily dependent on human hands. The Great AI Illusion: When Humans Play Robot Let me paint you a picture of this so-called " automated " economy. Picture an impressive AI system, all sleek interfaces and impressive algorithms, proudly proclaimed as the future of work.  Behind the scenes? A small army of underpaid workers frantically labeling images, transcribing audio, and preventing virtual assistants from suggesting nuclear warfare as a conflict resolution strategy. These invisible workers are the real MVPs of the AI world - the backstage crew making sure the technological magic show actually runs smoothl...

Artificial intelligence has been shown to deliver large performance gains in selected economic activities, but its aggregate impact remains debated. This column discusses a micro-to-macro framework to assess the aggregate productivity gains from AI under different scenarios.  AI could contribute between 0.25 and 0.6 percentage points to annual total factor productivity growth in the US over the next decade. However, highly uneven sectoral productivity gains could reduce aggregate growth, and large aggregate gains will require a productive integration of AI in a wide range of economic activities. The Economic productivity gains through artificial intelligence   Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming what machines can do, from processing natural language to analysing complex datasets and generating images. Recent advances in generative AI (for instance, large language models such as ChatGPT) are also animating a lively debate about the potential for large productivity ga...
