Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

Tällaista on koodaus tekoälyn kanssa: aikaa säästyy, mutta virheet voivat yllättää

Ohjelmakoodin kirjoittaminen saattaa olla yksi parhaita paikkoja tekoälyn hyödyntämiselle.

Zuckerberg Announces Layoffs After Saying Coding Jobs Will Be Replaced by AI
https://futurism.com/the-byte/zuckerberg-layoffs-coding-jobs-ai?fbclid=IwY2xjawHzvz5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYGWrWv7PW3AIG3Lr2P7LAkOqlk-7ccw9zLCKtHLLryv5ep3KxvPtf2ZzQ_aem_A-bRH9Q3cn6mjIpKV7JfzQ
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced sweeping layoffs of what he refers to as “low-performers” at his empire.
According to a company-wide memo obtained by Bloomberg, the Facebook owner is cutting around five percent of its staff. And interestingly, the directive is already in tension with what Zuckerberg told podcaster Joe Rogan last week about how the company was looking to replace “midlevel engineers” with AI. Instead — in a likely concession to AI just not quite being up to snuff yet — he says employees “who aren’t meeting expectations” will be replaced in order to “bring new people in” (emphasis on the “people,” for any AI zealots.)

Biden Signs Executive Order Aimed at Growing AI Infrastructure in the US
The executive order comes on the heels of the Biden administration’s proposed restrictions on exports of AI chips, an attempt to balance national security concerns about the technology with economic interests of producers and other countries.

Artificial Intelligence
How to Eliminate “Shadow AI” in Software Development
With a security-first culture fully in play, developers will view the protected deployment of AI as a marketable skill, and respond accordingly.
https://www.securityweek.com/how-to-eliminate-shadow-ai-in-software-development/
In a recent column, I wrote about the nearly ubiquitous state of artificial intelligence (AI) in software development, with a GitHub survey showing 92 percent of U.S.-based developers using AI coding tools both in and outside of work. Seeing a subsequent surge in their productivity, many are taking part in what’s called “shadow AI” by leveraging the technology without the knowledge or approval of their organization’s IT department and/or chief information security officer (CISO).
This should come as no surprise, as motivated employees will inevitably seek out technologies that maximize their value potential while reducing repetitive tasks that get in the way of more challenging, creative pursuits. After all, this is what AI is doing for not only developers but professionals across the board. The unapproved usage of these tools isn’t exactly new either, as we’ve seen similar scenarios play out with shadow IT, and shadow software as a service (SaaS).
