AI Execs Urge Congress: Cut Red Tape or Lose AI Race

Earlier this month, Capitol Hill became the arena for top AI execs—including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, AMD’s Lisa Su, and Microsoft's Brad Smith—as they pressed senators to rethink AI regulation.
Altman underscored AI’s revolutionary potential, boldly stating it's “at least as big as the internet.” But without a lighter regulatory touch, he warned, the U.S. risks ceding leadership to China. AMD’s Lisa Su echoed this, cautioning that restrictive policies could push global markets towards Chinese alternatives.
Despite occasional political sparring, one thing was clear: America stands at a crossroads in AI leadership—and the decisions made now could shape the balance of global power.

Is Gen AI Secretly Killing Your Motivation?

Using generative AI can feel like upgrading to a Tesla—sleek, effortless, and powerful. But according to recent research, when users switch back to tasks requiring pure human effort, the motivational drop-off is stark.
It’s less about productivity and more about how we integrate AI into our daily workflow. The big takeaway? Companies need to carefully balance automation and meaningful human tasks—or risk eroding employee satisfaction and engagement.
