Ahead of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit which France will host early next month, Ayça Atabey explains why it is essential to adopt a children’s rights-based approach to AI used in education.

As AI reshapes education and affects educators’ and students’ lives, it is already clear that questioning its impact on human rights, particularly their right to education, is essential. There is a pressing need for a children’s rights-based approach in AI and education discussions, ensuring that technological advancements uphold their promises and create…
Despite the hype around artificial intelligence – and particularly generative AI – many small businesses assume the technology is not for them. They worry that AI tools will be prohibitively expensive, require high-level technical know-how and expose them to risks they don’t understand.That’s unfortunate – not only as many businesses will miss out on the benefits that AI offers, but also because many tools aren’t complicated or expensive. Indeed, there’s a good chance you’re already using AI to good effect without even realising it – many of the improvements made to the software that even small companies routinely use to…
The artificial-intelligence market is in turmoil. Hard to believe, but AI only seized the spotlight with the release of ChatGPT in fall 2022.

The enthusiasm for owning the Magnificent Seven — Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Nvidia, Meta…

Photo by Solen Feyissa on Unsplash UNSPLASH.COM I’ve been a business owner for nearly two decades. Starting as a bootstrapper, I led my company from a one-person operation (just me) to a team of hundreds. Over the years, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the typical new-employee learning curve. More recently, however, I’ve noticed something remarkable: new hires are learning the ropes faster than ever. I have no doubt that the rise of AI has played a significant role in this shift. At my company, we encourage employees to embrace the latest tools and technology to automate routine tasks, freeing…

Who really ‘owns’ AI generated work and who gets the money? It’s a question that’s been debated ever since this particular genie escaped its bottle. So you installed the software, you typed the prompt and whatever comes out of the other end is yours, right? Wrong?In a potential landmark decision for AI – and its place in generative, artistic creation going forwards – the US copyright office just decided that work produced by AI can’t be copyrighted. That is, it’s impossible to own something that AI created no matter if it was you that pushed the buttons and conjured it…

On second thought… A retailer’s least favorite phrase. Every year retailers see sales undone as shoppers think twice and return purchases, particularly during the holiday season. November and December sales can make or break a retailer’s year, which means it’s critical for businesses to solve their return problem. Retailers have been deployed a mixed strategy to handle this, to mixed results. Nearly nine in 10 retailers (88%) have revised their return policies to be stricter while many also enhanced product detail pages with better descriptions to limit returns. And while that may have helped manage some shopper expectations, the rate…
