In advertising, the symbiotic relationship between creativity and disruptive technologies like A.I. is well-documented. Historically, A.I. has positively impacted programmatic advertising, SEO enhancement, ranking analytics and productivity improvements, transforming the media and advertising landscape. However, with the advent of generative A.I.—which is capable of generating text, images and videos—advertising agencies are now rethinking their operations, shifting their focus towards augmentation rather than mere automation.

There’s a growing split between the “have” and the “have-less” classes in America. This split is affecting how middle—and lower-income Americans spend and how they feel about the economy overall. As some experts note, we’re looking at a “two-speed” economy in which rich Americans spend lavishly while those with less means begin to cut back.

Art is as old as human history, but art museums as we know them are relatively modern institutions that have always adapted to reflect their times. No longer identifying themselves as stewards of artwork for people who can afford to collect it, many museums now embrace their nonprofit status to serve and engage the public at large. But how is such transformation reflected in museum operations, and how can museums leverage innovation to support their evolving missions?

Workers across industries are clamoring for artificial intelligence skills as the necessity for—and the value of—those skills skyrockets. A.I.-skilled workers can earn nearly $25,000 more per year on average simply by having experience using A.I. tools relevant to the job, according to a recent report from recruiting software company Ringover. In many cases, it’s not traditional educational settings providing those skills, but rather A.I. certifications. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dP7vcPBp By Rachel Curry

Despite longstanding efforts to address gender disparity in the workplace, women still face significant barriers, especially ascending to leadership roles. According to a report by McKinsey & Company, less than a third of women hold leadership positions in the United States and Canada. Underrepresentation, pay inequity, maternity leave and childcare are just some of the barriers faced by women. While most companies have DEI policies and gender diversity goals, these strategies and initiatives alone have not fully resolved the issues.

We have no idea what media might look like ten years from now. Until recently, YouTube appeared best positioned to replace television as we know it. Yet the National Football League (NFL)’s recent legal troubles with its Sunday Ticket package—which could cost America’s most popular sports league close to $15 billion—threaten to delay, disrupt and diminish YouTube’s ambition of becoming the epicenter of our living rooms.

The Seine, which runs through the heart of Paris and has long been the city’s lifeblood—and its dump, leaving the body of water severely polluted for decades—is playing a central role in the 2024 Olympics. With less than two weeks from the opening ceremony for the Olympics, the 483-mile-long river has become a source of contention for athletes, Parisians, and politicians alike. The question is: Will the Seine be clean enough by the opening ceremony on July 26? Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7rV_J9i By Abigail Bassett

As A.I. continues to gain steam, so does the amount of electricity it consumes. A ChatGPT query needs nearly 10 times as much electricity as a Google (GOOGL) search query, according to a recent report by Goldman Sachs. To meet soaring demand for A.I. power, some companies are looking at an unprecedented solution—the revival of dormant nuclear power plants. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eja-hbXX

Ireland, despite its small land size and population, is among the wealthiest countries in the world. The island nation boasted a GDP per capita of $104,270 in 2023, according to the IMF, next only to Luxembourg and higher than the U.S., Switzerland, Singapore and Norway. It is also one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with its GDP growing 15.1 percent and 9.1 percent in 2023 and 2022, respectively. American tech giants play an outsized role in Ireland’s economy. Some 60 percent of Ireland’s corporate tax revenue comes from just 10 U.S. companies, according to the Irish Tax and Customs department. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eGjmsBdQ By Shreyas Sinha

As part of OpenAI’s path towards artificial general intelligence (A.G.I), a term for technology matching the intelligence of humans, the company is reportedly attempting to enable A.I. models to perform advanced reasoning. Such work is taking place under a secretive project code-named ‘Strawberry.’ Researchers and co-founders of OpenAI have previously warned against the initiative, with concerns over it reportedly playing a part in the brief ousting of Sam Altman as OpenAI’s CEO in November.
