OpenAI is providing U.S. federal government agencies access to ChatGPT Enterprise for $1 per agency for the next year, the company announced Wednesday, and Seattle-based business and technology consulting firm Slalom will help facilitate the initiative.
Most Americans view the skilled trades as essential yet undervalued, with 91% agreeing that blue-collar jobs are as important as white-collar jobs, and 86% saying trade careers are overlooked in schools today, according to a July 31 report from The Harris Poll. However, younger U.S. workers may not realize the advantages, with 38% of Generation Z saying skilled trades offer the best job opportunities today, compared to 40% of millennials, 45% of Gen Z and 59% of baby boomers and older workers.
X owner Elon Musk told advertisers in a live discussion on Wednesday that the platform plans to introduce ads in Grok’s responses, as reported by the Financial Times. Musk told advertisers that X would allow marketers to pay to appear in suggestions from the AI chatbot.
Despite last week’s headlines about alarmingly soft job growth, millions of Americans have been starting businesses at unprecedented rates. This trend started in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and is still holding strong. However the shift is not accounted for in traditional labor statistics, which focus exclusively on W-2 payroll jobs. New business formation is a vital piece of the business landscape of the United States and can counteract the economic impact of a slowdown of traditional job creation.
The issue of candidate fraud may only be growing worse. Within three years — by 2028 — 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide could be fake, according to a July 31 report from Gartner. In a survey of 3,000 job candidates, 6% said they participated in interview fraud, either by posing as someone else or having someone else pretend as them. Burgeoning artificial intelligence use during the hiring process will likely increase concerns among recruiters, Gartner found.
