AI threatens wages, not jobs - so far, ECB paper finds

FRANKFURT: The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence could reduce wages , but so far is creating, not destroying jobs, especially for the young and highly-skilled, research published by the European Central Bank showed on Tuesday. Firms have invested heavily in artificial intelligence, or AI, leaving economists striving to understand the impact on the labour market and driving fears among the wider public for the future of their jobs. At the same time, employers are struggling to find qualified workers, despite a recession that would normally ease labour market pressures. In a sample of 16 European countries, the employment share of sectors exposed to AI increased, with low and medium-skill jobs largely unaffected and highly-skilled positions getting the biggest boost, a Research Bulletin published by the ECB said. But it also cited "neutral to slightly negative impacts" on earnings and said that could increase. "These results do not amount to an acquittal,...

Marquez "will raise the level" of Ducati's MotoGP competitiveness – Tardozzi

Image
On Tuesday, eight-time world champion Marquez will make his first MotoGP appearance on a bike other than a Honda for the first time in the post-season Valencia test. Marquez will ride the 2023-spec Ducati that won the world championship this year in Gresini colours next season, after electing to leave Honda with one season left on his contract following a difficult campaign. How Marquez will assimilate into Ducati has been a topic of discussion since the announcement that he will leave Honda came last month. Tardozzi, who believes Ducati's approach to satellite teams has helped raise Ducati's level in MotoGP , says Marquez will take this even further in 2024. "Raising again the level of the competitivity," Tardozzi told Motorsport.com when asked what he thinks Marquez will do for Ducati. "He will raise the level because tomorrow Marc will be very, very, very fast. I almost bet in him [finishing] in first position at the en...

Why didn’t Messi win the MLS Landon Donovan Most Valuable Player MVP Award?

Lionel Messi has won more awards - both individual and collective - than even he can probably remember, including a record-extending eighth Ballon d’Or , which was handed to him in October. However, one gong he hasn’t got his hands on - yet - is that of MLS Landon Donovan Most Valuable Player MVP , with FC Cincinnati’s Luciano Acosta this year’s runaway winner. FC Cincinnati’s Acosta the runaway MLS MVP Messi’s compatriot amassed a whopping 60.37% of the total votes to win by a landslide from LAFC attacker Denis Bouanga (14.97%) and another Argentine, Thiago Almada of Atlanta United (6.46%). And few could argue that Acosta isn’t a worthy winner - his 17 goals and 14 assists led to The Orange and Blue winning the MLS Supporters’ Shield for the first time in their History , while they are also in with a chance of doing the MLS Cup double after reaching the Eastern Conference final. Took his Game to another dimension & had a season for the ages. ✨@fccincinnati’s Lucho Acosta is the ...

Barcelona star misses training ahead of crunch Champions League clash with Porto

Image
Marc-Andre ter Stegen was not present in Barcelona training on Monday and faces a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Porto. The goalkeeper withdrew from the Germany squad for this month's international break as he battled a back injury which also forced him to miss the weekend's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. Ter Stegen had hoped to return to action quickly, confirming on social media that he was "coming back soon", but it appears that comeback may not be imminent as manager Xavi revealed the goalkeeper is yet to return to training . "Tomorrow, Marc will have a fitness test," Xavi told the media. "We'll see how he is. "He hasn't trained, so tomorrow he will test to see if he is 100%." In Ter Stegen's place, Inaki Pena started against Vallecano and would likely retain his spot in the starting lineup against Porto. Ter Stegen has not trained / Mateusz Slodkowski/GettyImages LI...

US, Britain, others ink agreement to make AI 'secure by design'

The United States, Britain and more than a dozen other countries on Sunday unveiled what a senior US official described as the first detailed international agreement on how to keep artificial intelligence safe from rogue actors, pushing for companies to create AI systems that are "secure by design." In a 20-page document unveiled Sunday, the 18 countries agreed that companies designing and using AI need to develop and deploy it in a way that keeps customers and the wider public safe from misuse. The agreement is non-binding and carries mostly general recommendations such as monitoring AI systems for abuse, protecting data from tampering and vetting software suppliers. Still, the director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Jen Easterly, said it was important that so many countries put their names to the idea that AI systems needed to put safety first. "This is the first time that we have seen an affirmation that these capabilities should ...
