Boundaries exist for a reason. You don’t have to reply to a work email or Slack message as soon as you see it. After-hours communication depletes employees’ mental and emotional reserves. https://buff.ly/3TsQhDW #work #stress #worklifebalance

A nonprofit news organization dedicated to unlocking knowledge and expertise from academia for the public.
关于我们
The Conversation US arose out of deep-seated concerns for the fading quality of our public discourse – and recognition of the vital role that academic experts can play in the public arena. Independent and not-for-profit, it is part of a global network of newsrooms first launched in Australia in 2011. The Conversation began its US operations in 2014, and now also publishes in Canada, the UK, France, Indonesia, Africa, Spain as well as Australia. The Conversation’s mission is particularly resonant in the U.S., where people universally sense that the country’s social fabric is strained and the common ground people share is shrinking. Information always has been essential to democracy – a societal good, like clean water. But many now find it difficult to put their trust in the media. And with little consensus about what to believe, it only becomes harder to reach agreement with fellow citizens regarding what’s truthful. The Conversation US seeks to be part of the solution to this problem. The Conversation’s editorial process is deliberate and collaborative. Editors pay close attention to the news environment to identify the issues citizens are concerned about. They reach out to leading scholars across academia and work with them to unlock their knowledge for the broad public. Through a Creative Commons license, we share Conversation US articles – at no charge to news organizations – across the geographic and ideological spectrum. We pay particular attention to strengthening news organizations that are severely under-resourced. The Associated Press distributes The Conversation US articles daily to thousands of newsrooms. Importantly, The Conversation US is committed to information transparency and credibility. Authors are only allowed to write on a subject on which they have proven expertise. They must sign a disclosure statement outlining any relevant funding or affiliations. We ourselves disclose all of The Conversation US’ funders on our homepage and elsewhere.

Two companies were recently accused of exaggerating their use of #AI, marking the SEC’s first significant move in combating “AI washing”. While many companies adopt AI to reduce costs and streamline operations, companies may inflate the abilities of AI algorithms or create the illusion AI plays a more significant role than it actually does to fool investors. Here are 5 tips to avoid falling victim to AI washing – as an investor or consumer.
Beware businesses claiming to use trailblazing technology. They might just be ‘AI washing’ to snare investors

“The move marks an important pivot point, signaling that central bankers believe they have finally won their battle against inflation.” The relatively large interest rate cut signals that the #Fed is shifting its focus from fighting inflation to supporting the labor market, an economist explains. We spoke with?Mike Walden, distinguished professor emeritus at North Carolina State University, about what the rate cut means for the economy – and possibly the presidential campaign: https://lnkd.in/gdQrYVH7 #news #economy #interestrates

Family events can have a been impact on the lives of #entrepreneurs – and of the success of their businesses. Recent research from Australia found, surprisingly, that certain kinds of positive family events (like marriages and babies) can have a bigger negative effect on new business survival than negative ones. https://buff.ly/44TkVL4 #entrepreneurship #smallbiz
Life’s big moments can impact an entrepreneur’s success – but not always in the way you’d expect

In addition to funding outright #misinformation, Russia has also used more subtle propaganda techniques.
A recent peer-reviewed study by Catherine Luther and Brandon Prins explores Russia's use of "hard soft power" to influence public opinion about the invasion of Ukraine. This tactic incorporates subtle threats to make the citizens of targeted countries feel unsafe. The overarching goals of such a strategy are to sow or exacerbate existing divisions, promote social chaos, and extend the geopolitical reach of the responsible country. Read about their findings at The Conversation US. https://bit.ly/3BflOCU

This article in The Conversation US, republished by Fast Company, is a nice application of theology to current issues in AI. Working in product and generative AI, I've found my background in theology surprisingly relevant, and not just for ethics. My doctoral research explored how human belief and action emerge from specific configurations of humans with other humans and objects. One core idea that shapes my own thinking: Any system—a religious framework or a technocratic solution—can function to both enable and constrain human productivity and thriving. Identifying these outcomes can help with creating tech that lends itself to improving human lives. As AI continues to take leaps forward, this kind of interdisciplinary approach will be critical to innovation that respects human agency and responsibility.
