Could AI kill us all? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A possibly staged viral video from Russia recently showed a humanoid robot answering a customer’s push with punches and kicks. Imagine the Dhaka version: a customer enters a showroom, calls the robot “bekar,” pushes it, and receives an algorithmically precise slap. Within minutes, three agencies claim jurisdiction, two committees form, and the robot gets bail before the victim reaches police. The joke becomes uncomfortable beside CNN’s interview with Jacob Coxon, a researcher who resigned from A

Applying for a job can feel like seeking admission to a royal household. Candidates submit a CV, cover letter, certificates, photograph, present salary, expected salary and perhaps proof of good behaviour in a previous life.

A recent Harvard Business Review research roundup questions familiar corpora
