At the rehearsal dinner of a wedding last weekend, we were seated at a table with grandma. During the groom’s dad’s speech, he recounted the proposal. Grandma chimed in, “They were hiding in the bushes.” We believe she intended to whisper it to her neighbor, but it came out at the volume of a heckler.

The bride gave grandma an embroidered hanky at the end of the night. She turned to show it off to us, remarking, “There are even words on it.” We’re not sure if she read what was on it. She was just tickled by the fact that someone took the time to string a few words together for her.

Channel your inner grandma and appreciate our intro. Even if you just skimmed it. Because while it has nothing to do with AI, someone took the time to string some words together for you.

Will AI Be Used to Raise Musicians from the Dead?

You know The Beatles released a new song recently. You couldn’t hide from it. But what you might not know is that AI made it possible. The song began decades ago as a home recording (think modern-day iPhone recording). An AI-powered audio technology allowed producers to pull apart the piano and vocals from that recording, enabling the living Beatles to construct a new track around it. That’s pretty neat. But how far should it go?

20 New and Enhanced Roles AI Could Create

Sometimes, we all need a gentle reminder that jobs are not finite. The nice part about a free market is that, theoretically, jobs are created and terminated every day based on the needs of the market. So while we all certainly read headlines about technology replacing jobs, we should digest an equal helping of job creation headlines. Here’s a start.
