“More people are concerned than excited about the rise of AI in daily life, with Americans topping the global worry list, per a new global report from Pew Research Center.” Some countries, like South Korea and India were relatively excited about AI with less than 20% of respondents saying they were “more concerned than excited.” In contrast, the majority of U.S. respondents were more concerned about Ai than excited, a level of anxiety only matched by Italy. This “public concern over AI could shape how quickly the tools are adopted, and could upend workplaces if employees aren’t comfortable with the changes.”

“Before Nintendo shareholders get too excited, they should examine the reality.” As the Pokémon Go craze grows, “Nintendo’s shares have risen by 50 per cent in a week on hopes Pokémon Go can rescue the company from dependence on lacklustre consoles such as the Wii U, and propel it into a world of growth in casual games on smart devices.” The investors need to “calm down” as there are still challenges ahead for Nintendo.
