Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well and that you're all gaining more knowledge about AI and related subjects. Apologies for any delays, just got back from a relaxed holiday.
My primary focus is on AI technology news, given the rapid pace of change in the field. I also cover seed financing to highlight the substantial investment opportunities available. Additionally, I am interested in AI retail, drawing from my experience at companies like Volvo, Selfridges, and Carphone Warehouse, among others.
I'm particularly interested in exploring how AI can enhance the customer experience, streamline the creation of new products and apps, and encourage greater participation in the AI industry. I have now included AI Automotive and AI Healthcare subjects as well.
if you want me to include a particular topic or subject, please comment or message me via Linkedin.

Will AI Be Monitoring Your Work Competence
AI and related tech like #machinelearning and #neuralnetworks are changing how we work. They're making it easier for companies to watch how well employees do their jobs and even what they do. With #computervision and #datascience, the line between work and privacy is getting blurry. So, will AI soon be checking our every move, judging how good we are at our jobs?
This article looks into how AI is becoming a big part of the workplace. We'll talk about how it affects employee privacy and how it changes how we're judged at work. We'll also look at the good and bad sides of AI in the workplace. This will help us understand how humans and machines will work together in the future.
