As the US and China vie for dominance in artificial intelligence, American officials are making their priorities clear. ARI president Brad Carson appeared on Fox Report to discuss the rivalry, noting a reported 10 percent threat that AI could wipe out humanity. The conversation took place ahead of a planned Trump-Xi summit in Washington. Meanwhile, US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said the AI competition with China is more complex than the Cold War rivalry with Moscow and warned that domestic regulatory limits would hurt American innovation. Waltz endorsed narrow bilateral guardrails on algorithmic diffusion and nuclear weapons systems.
On the military side, a Pentagon investigation revealed that the US relied heavily on artificial intelligence before a strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran on February 28. Two Tomahawk missiles hit the school and killed 123 people. Palantir was reportedly involved in the intelligence process. Officials cited cuts in civilian-protection personnel and gaps in information about the site, and some Pentagon personnel knew within hours that the US was responsible.
Beyond defense and geopolitics, AI is also making its way into everyday workplace tools. A new Espresa report says AI can improve employee recognition programs while keeping the human element intact. Organizations with engaged recognition programs showed a 15 percent lower turnover rate, yet recognition from managers dropped to just 15 percent in the past year. AI can help employees start recognition messages while preserving their own tone and voice. In a similar spirit, Yijing (Tabitha) Han, a Product Designer at PitchBook Data, bridges psychology and AI in product design. She led the design of PitchBook's first AI-driven data collection tool and the mobile app, which holds a 4.9 rating on the App Store, focusing on clarity, simplicity, and trust in AI products.
