A number of major US companies have announced job cuts in favor of AI investment. But in Japan, big corporations are on the hunt for skilled workers to accelerate AI adoption. In a recent survey of roughly 250 publicly listed Japanese companies, Azusa Audit Corporation found that 28% were expanding their AI-literate workforce to support automation.

Utilizing Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which combines forensic DNA analysis and genealogical research, we cracked the case, and I led the prosecution team that brought the Golden State Killer to justice. Since we first used IGG to solve this case, law enforcement around the world has solved over…

But as a market research analyst,…

Videos, audio clips, posts, articles, generated by artificial intelligence, distributed at industrial scale, aimed at shifting public opinion across entire countries. The people producing them are often outside the country being targeted. The people receiving them almost never know they’re fake. And they have no idea how they’re made.A few years ago, troll farms worked like this: entire buildings full of people, shifts, desks and workers paid to write posts, create fake profiles, comment and pick fights in online discussions. It was expensive, slow, and in the end, the real…
