While the general public might get excited or alarmed by the concept of computers that can see, hear and speak, government has become quite bullish on real-world applications of AI that can find ways to improve the environment, make public spaces safer and, most importantly, strip out the mundane, manual work that clogs up government operations."

- Summary:
- "As a California commission with the power to recommend policy to the state Legislature studies artificial intelligence, it is getting mixed signals about just how heavy-handed the state should be in regulating the technology. Some think the state should wait to regulate AI until it knows more about it, and some think it should approach AI with more caution."

- Summary:
- "How long have your employees been at your company? Do they possess the skills needed to lead you into the future and assist with your company transformation? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean you should hire new employees. In fact, I’m a full supporter of upskilling your employees. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it makes the most sense to teach your current employee base the new skills that are required instead of spending the time and money to hire new ones. In fact, 62% of executives believe they will need to retrain or replace more than a quarter of their workforce between now and 2030 due to automation and digitization."

- Summary:
- "Our research interviewing managers and employees on the frontlines of the digital revolution in several key industries suggests two clear findings. First, across many organizations and industries, the digital revolution is in its early stages. It has yet to have the profound positive or negative effects that many futurists and technology optimists or pessimists predicted. In one way, this is an advantage, since our second observation is that there are early warning signs that the strategies and processes needed for effective management of technological innovations are not yet well developed in many organizations. Significant changes in design and implementation will be needed if technology is to realize its full potential and improve productivity, generate a favorable rate of return, and improve work outcomes."
