Bible Verses of the Day
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. [John3:16-18, ESV]

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson on Monday named David Salvagnini as the agency’s new chief artificial intelligence (AI) officer, effective immediately. The role is an expansion of Salvagnini’s current role as chief data officer.
A wide variety of AI tools are used by NASA to benefit humanity from supporting missions and research projects across the agency, analyzing data to reveal trends and patterns, and developing systems capable of supporting spacecraft and aircraft autonomously.
“Artificial intelligence has been safely used at NASA for decades, and as this technology expands, it can accelerate the pace of discovery,” said Nelson. “It’s important that we remain at the forefront of advancement and responsible use. In this new role, David will lead NASA’s efforts to guide our agency’s responsible use of AI in the cosmos and on Earth to benefit all humanity.”

Dell, an AI hardware company, is pushing ahead with its return-to-office mandate.
The tech giant has told US employees who opted to classify themselves as hybrid workers that it has started monitoring their in-office attendance by tracking badge swipes, according to an internal memo seen by Business Insider.
The data will then be used to categorize employees with a blue, green, yellow, or red flag every quarter. The color by their name will be considered for performance evaluations, rewards, and compensation, Dell told employees.
Staff who opted to remain remote during the company's overhaul of its hybrid work policy, which was first announced in February, will not be monitored. However, by choosing to stay remote, they are no longer eligible for promotion or able to change roles.
