“Are you a bot?” I asked. I had a question about a car I was researching. The bot answered my question but threw in something extra, saying, “It’s a sweet ride.” I found this mildly annoying because I suddenly could not tell whether I was speaking to a human or a bot.
Is Synthetic Empathy Holding Your AI Back?
If it was a human, I might ask different questions. If it was a bot, I really only wanted facts, not synthetic empathy. AI can deliver answers faster and better than humans in many situations. That is the AI superpower.
Trying to make AI more human by slowing…
Digital transformation has become a buzzword that can be an overwhelming concept. Most companies know they need to do it, but they are not sure where to start. With so many different acronyms and terms in the world of intelligent automation, it can be challenging to know what it all means.

Self-driving cars are set to dramatically reduce accident rates as well as injuries and deaths from those accidents. But as they roll out and become more commonplace, they’re probably going to get some people killed. In fact, there are already early reports of fatalities caused by self-driving cars; tests of Uber’s fully autonomous vehicles have resulted in both injuries and deaths, and semi-autonomous Tesla vehicles have been involved in a number of accidents.
Is the public ready to accept deaths from self-driving car accidents? And if not, what steps would it take to get us there?
The Safety Dilemma
First, we need to understand the safety dilemma that self-driving cars introduce. Currently, there are around 35,000 deaths as a result of motor vehicle crashes in the United States each year. That’s close to 3,000 people every month, or 100 people per day. Hypothetically, if there was a new technology that could reduce that fatality rate by just 1 percent — just 1 person a day — that could save 350 lives annually. …

Since the start of the global pandemic, many column inches have been devoted to the inevitable rise in home-working. No business could have foreseen a situation in which the majority of their workforce would have to work from home for months on end.
Even before many companies were forced to make (and help) their employees work from home due to COVID-19 restrictions, we noted a definite trend towards the emergence and spread of the gig economy. Consultants and freelancers kept a lot of projects and campaigns going efficiently in a variety of organizations and industries.
Most countries are working towards vaccinating their citizens, and it stands to reason that people are slowly beginning to return to their “regular” offices. …
Content is the king of any type of marketing; there is nothing new here. However, creating a perfect plan for your next content marketing is the key to success. Almost anyone can create content but making it perfectly suited for your business is the key.
Long ago, before 2005, B2B and B2C businesses usually did not care about creating fresh content regularly. However, because of the audience’s ever-increasing desire for fresh and engaging content, search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc., also give priority to fresh and engaging content.
Create a Perfect Content Marketing Plan for Your Business
And this is where it begins; from personal bloggers to big brands, all are racing to create fresh and engaging content regularly for their business website to get their share of organic traffic.

Thankfully, the space is full of leaders and visionaries bringing about needed change. Here are five speakers who are moving and shaking up the world of fundraising.
It is probably obvious to most people that certain personal information should be tightly protected — especially bank details, health records, and passwords. The motivation might be to protect us from criminal activity, embarrassment, or just because it is not anyone else’s business. Users should care about data privacy — and the tech industry should safeguard your data.
It’s essential to understand that ALL personal data is now the fuel of the digital economy.
And that means that there is an entire industry worth billions of dollars devoted to finding everything out about YOU. Your friends. Your shopping habits. Where you live and who you live with. Everything is up for grabs and harnessed for one simple reason. To make it easier to target you with adverts persuading you to buy things you might not purchase otherwise.
