The “enabled emissions” that come when oil and gas drillers use artificial intelligence to find and exploit new energy reserves are far more damaging to the climate than the emissions that come from the data centers that power AI platforms, a new study by two former Microsoft employees concludes.

I’ve tested a lot of AI tools over the past few years, and one thing that still drives me crazy is how quickly your workflow turns into a pile of different apps. One tool for research, another for presentations, another for images, another for video, and suddenly you’re paying for five subscriptions just to finish…
The Importance of Transparency and Trust In the context of AI tracking tools, Elliott believes the relationship between manager and employee is changing, and might be at risk.

They compress research time but still need output checked against primary sources, since both can make factual or arithmetic errors. Microsoft Copilot: automates the mechanical side of Excel work, building formulas, flagging inconsistencies, and speeding…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has moved rapidly from being a novelty to becoming a routine workplace tool. Across the UK, businesses are adopting AI technologies at an unprecedented pace, with the proportion of organizations using AI rising from around 12% in late 2023 to approximately 35% in 2026, according to the UK Office for National Statistics…
Task-level AI gains are well documented. Organization-level gains are largely absent. An NBER study of roughly 6,000 executives found that 89-95% of firms saw no measurable productivity or employment impact over three years, while the same period produced consistent evidence that individual workers do save real time.
