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....

The Economic productivity gains through artificial intelligence
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...

Tiny Titans: How AI Agents are Changing the World
Artificial Intelligence has long been a complex and often daunting concept. Developing and implementing AI systems requires significant resources, technical expertise, or substantial investments in commercial software. Concerns about bias, hallucinations, job displacement, and the sheer scale of AI have often overshadowed its potential benefits. AISHE: A next-generation AI-powered home computer But what if there were a more manageable approach to integrating AI into our lives? Enter AI agents: smaller, more focused AI applications designed to tackle specific tasks. These agents offer a less disruptive way to harness the power of AI, providing a more gradual and controlled integration into the workplace. Think of AI agents as digital assistants working alongside humans rather than replacing them. These agents can automate routine tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more creative and strategic endeavors. This concept is often referred to as "agentic workflows." We...
