00:14 – How to handle AI anxiety at work:
New tools such as AI are rapidly changing the world of work. So what’s the best way to mitigate FOBO – ‘fear of becoming obsolete’? Here, three chief health officers and medical advisors – Paul Litchfield of Compass Group, Ranit Mishori of the World Bank and Andreas Tautz of DHL – share their suggestions for how to maintain employee mental #health and satisfaction.
03:58 – What makes a peace deal work?:
What does it take to build a lasting peace? Here to answer the question is Itonde Kakoma, President and CEO of Interpeace. He discusses the worrying rise in conflict worldwide, the role of the private sector in cementing #peace, and why most peace deals fail.
08:10 – How to get rid of workslop:
Have you ever received poor-quality AI-generated content at work? This is ‘workslop’. 40% of US workers say they have been sent #workslop, according to a survey by BetterUp and Stanford Social Media Lab. And as bringing a piece of workslop up to scratch can take around two hours, it’s costing businesses in lost productivity. Here, Alexi Robichaux, CEO of BetterUp, explains the problem, alongside some solutions.
10:04 – AI is helping Saudi Arabia go solar:
Saudi Arabia plans to generate half its electricity from renewables by 2030. Studies suggest rooftop solar could provide 40% of Riyadh’s energy needs, but high installation costs could hamper the rollout. Now, OptimalPV is using satellite imagery and AI to design solar arrays tailored to individual buildings – an approach it says can cut costs by up to 80%.
