Back then, the idea of falling for your OS felt like sci-fi. Now, with AI companions and voice assistants becoming increasingly human-like, the film feels eerily prescient. As AI blurs the lines between tool and partner, Her serves as a poignant reflection on our evolving relationship with technology. AI Is Already EverywhereAt TED 2025 in Vancouver, AI's influence stretched beyond tech, touching art, parenting, and poetry. Anthropologist Sarah Hrdy pondered AI's role in child-rearing, while poet Salome Agbaroji critiqued systems of power, reminding AI it's not the first "artificial system" we've labeled intelligent. The consensus? AI's impact is vast and multifaceted.AI-Generated Résumés: Red Flags or Smart Moves?AI-crafted résumés are flooding recruiters' inboxes, sparking debates on authenticity. While some hiring managers view them as impersonal, others see them as a savvy use of technology. The key? Personalize and proofread. An AI-assisted résumé can showcase efficiency, but only if it reflects genuine experience and attention to detail. AI Will Take Your Job — CEOs Say Deal with ItCEOs are blunt: AI isn't just coming for your job—it's already here. Shopify's Tobi Lütke mandates employees prove tasks can't be done by AI before hiring. Fiverr's Micha Kauffman warns even his role isn't safe. The message? Upskill or risk obsolescence. Adaptability and AI fluency are the new workplace currencies.Why CEOs Should Think Twice Before Using AI to Write MessagesAI-generated messages might save time, but they can come off as cold and generic—especially when leaders need to show empathy. Harvard Business Review warns that while AI is fine for formal stuff like shareholder updates, it flops at human connection. Bottom line: if you're using AI to write to your team, be transparent and keep it real.Stanford's AI Report: Big Gains, Bigger QuestionsStanford's latest AI Index report reveals that while AI models are smashing benchmarks, the real-world benefits remain elusive. The U.S. leads in model development, but China is catching up fast. Public sentiment is mixed: 60% think AI will change their jobs, but only 36% fear replacement.

Dalam memperingati Hari Ulang Tahun (HUT) BRI yang ke-129, BRI Regional Office Padang menggelar donor darah, pada Selasa 17 Desember 2024. Kegiatan bakti sosial ini ditargetkan dapat mengumpulkan 129 kantong darah yang berasal dari karyawan bank plat merah tersebut. Jelang siang, peserta yang mendaftar sudah lebih dari 129 orang. Salah satu peserta donor darah adalah Asisten II Setdaprov Sumbar, Arry Yuswandi. Usai memberikan sambutan mewakili Gubernur Sumbar pada kegiatan tersebut, Arry yang didampingi Regional CEO BRI Padang, Riza Pahlevi langsung memeriksakan diri. Setelahnya mantan Kepala Dinas Sosial Sumbar ini berbaring di tempat tidur yang disediakan. “Memeriahkan HUT BRI ke-129 tahun ini, kita tak hanya menggelar kegiatan seremoni tetapi juga bakti sosial. Seperti hari ini, karyawan BRI berbagi setetes darah dalam kegiatan donor darah,” kata Regional CEO BRI Padang, Riza Pahlevi di gedung BRI RO Padang. Selanjutnya, BRI RO Padang mengadakan khitanan massal dengan peserta anak-anak dari masyarakat tak mampu yang tinggal di sekitar kantor BRI, baik di kantor cabang hingga BRI unit. Pesertanya juga ditargetkan sebanyak 129 orang sesuai dengan usia BRI saat ini. “Puncak HUT BRI diadakan pada Sabtu 21 Desember 2024, di antara agendanya adalah pagelaran pentas seni,” terang Riza Pahlevi. Asisten II Setdaprov Sumbar, Arry Yuswandi dalam sambutannya memberikan apresiasi kepada BRI sebagai lembaga perbankan tertua di tanah air yang didirikan pada tahun 1895. Berbagai inovasi yang dilakukan BRI makin memudahkan masyarakat mengakses berbagai layanan BRI, seperti hadirnya Teras BRI dan BRILink. “Kehadiran BRI memberikan dampak besar bagi kemajuan perekonomian daerah, termasuk di Sumbar. BRI menjangkau masyarakat hingga ke pelosok nagari,” katanya. Selanjutnya kegiatan donor darah dalam rangka HUT BRI ke 129 ini, lanjut Arry, merupakan salah satu wujud nyata kecintaan BRI kepada sesama. Pihaknya berharap ke depan, BRI memberikan kontribusi yang lebih besar lagi untuk Ranah Minang. Di antara peserta donor darah, terdapat peserta perempuan, di antaranya Eka dan Selvia. Usai pemeriksaan kesehatan, dengan penuh semangat Eka menyodorkan tangannya kepada petugas medis dari PMI Cabang Padang. “Dulu sewaktu kuliah, saya rutin ikut donor darah. Kalau sekarang, saya ikut donor setiap momen bakti sosial yang digelar BRI RO Padang,” ujar Eka. Tak jauh berbeda yang diungkapkan Selvia. Awalnya dia tertarik ikut donor darah karena mengikuti suaminya yang rutin mendonorkan darahnya. Setiap kali donor, dia merasakan badannya lebih segar dan menjadi penuh semangat. “Beda sekali rasanya antara sebelum donor dengan setelah donor darah. Saetelah donor darah, saya merasa lebih bugar,” katanya sambil tesenyum.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 11 Desember 2024 Bacaan: "Daud berhasil di segala perjalanannya, sebab TUHAN menyertai dia." (1 Samuel 18:14) Renungan: Ada seorang bapak karena ingin agar kelak anaknya menjadi pianis ternama, maka ia memasukkan anaknya yang baru berusia lima tahun ke sekolah musik untuk belajar piano. Beberapa waktu kemudian, seorang pianis terkenal datang ke kota mereka. Sang ayah pun membeli dua tiket, satu untuknya dan satu lagi untuk anaknya. Ketika hari pertunjukan tiba, sang ayah duduk beberapa baris dari kursi depan dan anaknya duduk di sampingnya. Tetapi kemudian diam-diam sang anak menyelinap pergi. Selang beberapa waktu kemudian, sang ayah baru menyadari bahwa anaknya tidak berada di tempatnya. Sang ayah lebih kaget lagi ketika lampu sorot dinyalakan dan ia melihat anaknya duduk persis di depan piano yang akan dimainkan oleh pianis ternama itu. Dengan berani, anak itu mulai menekan tuts-tuts piano dan memainkan sebuah lagu anak- anak "Twinkle-twinkle Little Star". Sedikit terkejut operator lampu sorot mengira bahwa permainan sudah dimulai. la pun langsung mengarahkan lampu ke arah pemain piano yang tidak lain adalah anak kecil itu. Tak lama kemudian, sang pianis berjalan menuju piano dan ketika melihat anak kecil tersebut, ia tersenyum sambil berkata, "Teruslah bermain. "Sang pianis duduk di samping anak tersebut dan mulai bermain mengimbangi permainan anak kecil itu. Setiap kelemahan yang dilakukan anak kecil itu, diisi oleh sang pianis, sehingga terciptalah sebuah permainan yang indah dan harmonis. Usai bermain, seluruh hadirin bersorak gembira sambil melemparkan bunga ke atas panggung. "Luar biasa, aku baru saja belajar piano, sudah bisa bermain sehebat ini," kata anak kecil itu bangga. Anak itu lupa, bahwa kehebatan permainannya disebabkan karena sang pianis terkenal bermain di sampingnya mengisi semua kelemahannya. Kita sering merasa sangat hebat ketika berhasil mencapai atau melakukan sesuatu. tapi kita lupa bahwa semua keberhasilan kita terjadi karena Tuhan berada di samping kita. Kita memiliki begitu banyak kelemahan dan kekurangan seperti halnya anak kecil di atas, tetapi Tuhan mengisi setiap kelemahan dan kekurangan kita, mengimbangi "permainan" kita, sehingga menghasilkan sesuatu yang indah dan dapat dinikmati bukan saja oleh kita, tetapi juga orang lain di sekeliling kita. Kiranya kita tidak akan pernah lupa bahwa sehebat apa pun kita, semua itu akan sia-sia dan tidak ada apa-apanya kalau Tuhan tidak turut bekerja di dalam kita. Dialah yang membuat kita hebat dan berhasil! Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa: Tuhan Yesus, aku bersyukur karena tanpa Engkau di sampingku, aku tidak ada apa-apanya dan segala yang kulakukan sia-sia adanya. Ajarilah aku untuk selalu mengembalikan pujian dan hormat hanya bagi Engkau. Amin. (Dod).

Today on AI for the Rest of Us, we're talking about AI and the law. What are the biggest risks of AI that are not currently regulated? Do the makers of AI chatbots like ChatGPT owe something to content creators whose material was scraped to train the models? What kinds of things could we do to make AI safer and more useful for everyone? And could too much regulation stifle innovation and US competitiveness?Matthew Murrell is a lawyer and lecturer in The University of Texas School of Law who is teaching a new class on the Law of AI in fall 2024. According to Murrell, one of the biggest risks of AI that isn't currently regulated is aggregation, the ability for companies to assemble copious amounts of data about a person to build a rich profile of their life, which could be misused by nefarious actors. He noted another top concern: automated decision-making tools that perpetuate discrimination against historically marginalized people. He said in many cases, AI doesn't present entirely new legal questions, just new twists on old questions. And he predicts that in the near term, most new regulations will likely be amendments to existing laws.Dig DeeperThe Times Sues OpenAI and Microsoft Over A.I.

Today on AI for the Rest of Us, we're talking about the ways that AI is being used—or might be used—to help make high-stakes decisions about all aspects of our lives—from who gets hired for a job—to what interest rates people get on loans—to whether or not someone who's been convicted of a crime gets parole. Are AI systems better than humans at making these decisions? Why is it so tempting to give up our decision-making authority to machines? And what can we do to make sure these systems are fair and unbiased?Craig Watkins is a professor in the Moody College of Communications at UT Austin who's been wrestling with these questions.Watkins is executive director of the IC2 Institute and a principal investigator with Good Systems, a university-funded initiative that supports multi-disciplinary explorations of the technical, social, and ethical implications of artificial intelligence.Dig DeeperVideo: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Racial Justice, S.

Today on AI for the Rest of Us, we're talking about AI in healthcare. There are a lot of wild claims about what AI can do to help make us healthier—so how can we figure out what's real and what's hype? And are there some potential pitfalls with these new technologies?Scott Graham is an associate professor of rhetoric at the University of Texas at Austin and author of the book The Doctor and the Algorithm: Promise, Peril and the Future of Health AI.

Who will ultimately benefit from having more of our work done by AI—employees or employers? What about potential harms, like forcing us to spend time cleaning up mediocre products—pushing down wages—or eliminating jobs altogether? And how can we best prepare for working in an AI-powered future?Today on the show we have Maytal Saar-Tsechansky— a professor in the McCombs School of Business, who has been developing AI algorithms especially around improved decision making and achieving societal, business, organizational and personal goals. And we also have Samantha Shorey, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies. She studies the contributions of people who are often overlooked in our dominant cultural narratives about technology innovation—paying close attention to all the creativity and ingenuity of workers (especially women).Dig DeeperAutomating Essential Work (Samantha Shorey documented how integrating AI into the workflows of essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic increased their workload and made their daily duties more complex and technical.)AI Will Transform the Global Economy.

Artificial intelligence tools might transform education, for example, by giving every student 24/7 access to an affordable tutor that's an expert in any subject and infinitely patient and supportive. But what if these AI tools give bad information or relieve students of the kind of critical thinking that leads to actual learning? And what's the point of paying to go to college if you can learn everything from AI chatbots?Today on the show we have Art Markman—Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and a professor of psychology and marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. He's also co-host of the public radio program and podcast “Two Guys on Your Head.” And we also have K.P.

Today we're diving into the world of large language models, or LLMs, like ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude. When they burst onto the scene a couple of years ago, it felt like the future was suddenly here. Now people use them to write wedding toasts, decide what to have for dinner, compose songs and all sorts of writing tasks. Will these chatbots eventually get better than humans? Will they take our jobs? Will they lead to a flood of disinformation? And will they perpetuate the same biases that we humans have?Joining us to grapple with those questions is Greg Durrett, an associate professor of computer science at UT Austin. He's worked for many years in the field of natural language processing, or NLP—which aims to give computers the ability to understand human language. His current research is about improving the way LLMs work and extending them to do more useful things like automated fact-checking and deductive reasoning.Dig DeeperA jargon-free explanation of how AI large language models work, Ars TechnicaVideo: But what is a GPT?
