Bible Verses of the Day

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? [Matthew 16:24-26, ESV]

• 🇺🇸 OpenAI unveils AI blueprint in latest offering to Trump administration

OpenAI has launched an economic blueprint for AI in the United States to maintain the nation’s place at the forefront of the tech race. As a trailblazer behind ChatGPT, OpenAI is seeking to utilize its strength to influence government policy.

As reported by the New York Times, last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman donated $1 million to President-elect Trump’s inaugural fund, as part of a charm offensive toward the returning leader.

He was not alone, as OpenAI was joined by other tech entities seeking to establish better relations with Trump, while the company hopes that key figures within the Trump administration will be receptive to the “AI in America” blueprint.

According to some of the latest statistics, employers are swamped by job applications. And despite some trepidations amongst a few recruiters, plenty of companies are turning to AI platforms to assist, especially given the Gen Z generation has now even surpassed the millennial population in numbers.

Furthermore, despite this being a so-called era of the death of DEI, Maki, a conversational, skills assessment-based AI agent for job interviews and candidate filtering, shows far less bias than humans.

“We have been audited by the state of New York, and it has been proven that our AI creates less bias than a human toward ethnicity, gender, and age, and the more data we have, the better we can calibrate and pre-train it,” says one of its founders Maxime Legardez. Who knows, perhaps AI recruitment will lead to even more diverse workforces in the future?
