Artificial intelligence has proven to be a disruptive technology with applications across every sector. Sensing the potential to dominate the market early, many enterprising tech companies have put their efforts toward improving the foundations of AI and discovering new use cases for it. AI is, of course, a broad term that can encompass any algorithmic technology, ranging from autonomous vehicles to medical record systems. It is therefore challenging to define the nebulous “AI race” in certain terms, with countries trying to get an edge on their national rivals without necessarily knowing what advantages this will provide. Nevertheless, the proliferation of tech companies offers some insight into which countries have best explored this new frontier for technology.

China has proven itself to be a contender in terms of both government support for AI and the generation of massive quantities of data to improve machine learning algorithms. The country has declared its intentions to become a global AI leader by 2030, with goals to hit an industry value of $150 billion. Of course, the question then becomes what AI technology is used for by the CCP. Critics of China have accused the country of leveraging new technologies for the purpose of monitoring and suppressing its citizens. One then wonders what the benefits of outpacing China in the AI race truly is—is the end goal something that other countries in the world should strive for?

Honestly, the world is run by fucking idiots. Whoever green lit fracking in England is responsible for the earthquakes. Whoever it is is a fucking moron.

How ergonomics and technology combine to help health best practices

Ergonomics is often one of the most overlooked health concerns within the office. While there are OH&S regulations for lifting, moving heavy objects, and safety when working with chemicals and electricity, and there are guidelines for how long a person should be “sedentary”, there are no formal governance requirements for the chairs that people use, or their computer equipment.
