STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR IDDO MOED:
“Friendship should never be controversial.”
At Calgary Stampede with a 6-person tech delegation, I reconnected with Albertan friends old and new, and saw firsthand the growing strength of the Israel–Alberta partnership.
But it’s unacceptable for hate to creep and fester into a space built on hospitality, undermining the respect and empathy that should define it.
@ZachAbramowitz I think anyone or any company "questions the value" of human advice at tthis point int he game is missing the plot. In the future, sure but there has been almost to AI input i've ever made in a business setting that didn't need steering, interpretation, or analysis.
@Eliana_Goldin I built the digital products at Hooked on Phonics, and was CMO at Mrs Wordsmith. Saw what your building and its amazing, Would love to send a DM
I know everyone thinks there’s going to be this growing AI backlash, but I’m skeptical. I think most people love AI.
AI has been a consumer led with businesses constantly trying to play catch up and doing it kind of clumsily. According to the recently released Wharton study, bigger companies struggle to show ROI on AI investment.
When AI starts actually automating people’s jobs, maybe *then* there will be a backlash.
But most people I know who are using AI love it and it mostly allows them to get their jobs done better and faster (employees, not employers are gobbling up all the ROI). That’s what the industry data shows as well. According to Law360, the more lawyers use AI the more they love it. The ones who don’t like it are the ones who don’t use it and the data also suggests that adoption is still increasing so the group of nonusers is shrinking. Lawyer adoption jumped 24 percentage points according to that Wharton study I mentioned before.
I’m sure there are politicians who are going to try and make an issue out of AI but I think they’re confusing automation and labor replacement (I lost my job honey) with GenAI Assistants (I actually helped my kid with his homework)
@nikitabier Literally the only feature X needs is figuring out how to promote interesting voices and lower the volume on the crazies. Both sides of every topic. It’s exhausting
Correct. My take is V1 thesis was “young people don’t care about the news, we’ll report on other tangential stories” I’d add Vice to your mix. It was fun, but ultimately empty calories. V2 is real news analysis but with strong takes and opinions, in long form and with biases as a feature not a bug.
