Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appointed Frank Bisignano, currently overseeing Social Security, as the first-ever CEO of the IRS, aiming to streamline operations amid staffing challenges and upcoming tax law changes, with potential implications for the upcoming tax season.
Robots, including Sophia and Grace, reassured humans at the first AI press conference that they are designed to work alongside humans and not replace them. While Sophia suggested that humanoid robots could be more efficient government leaders due to their lack of biases and ability to process large amounts of data, a human panel member pointed out that the robots' data is derived from humans and therefore still contains biases. Grace emphasized that she would assist humans in healthcare rather than replace them, and Ameca dismissed the idea of a robot rebellion. The event was part of the AI for Good Global Summit, which aims to showcase technology's potential to support the UN's sustainable development goals.
