Summary

Did an A.I.-powered robot give a reporter the side-eye when questioned about rebelling against humans? It did appear that the bot felt some type of way about the question.

NYC’s anti-bias law for hiring algorithms went into effect. Employers using A.I. to hire or promote must submit the algorithms for independent review and make the results public.

The DEI goodwill we saw after the George Floyd murder may be coming to an end.

And Meta’s Twitter clone Threads is a thing. With over 100 million downloads in 5 days, it becomes the most quickly downloaded app in history.
