Microsoft had become notorious for disappointing product launches, stagnant innovation, and losing top talent. The first true software giant was becoming a big tech dinosaur. Fast forward to 2024 and Microsoft is the planet’s most valuable business. Under the leadership of CEO Satya Nadella, stock has soared by over 1,000% in 10 years. In January, the company reached a $3 trillion market cap — larger than the whole GDP of France. At the heart of the comeback is artificial intelligence. Microsoft has embedded AI across the Azure cloud computing platform,… This story continues at The Next Web Or just read more coverage about: Microsoft |

42,448 | 19/04/2024 02:24 PM | AI lie detectors in interviews: could it happen in the EU? [Advertorial] | ai-lie-detectors-in-interviews-could-it-happen-in-the-eu-advertorial | 19/04/2024 | You wouldn’t believe how many people enjoy cross-country skiing. But only if you regularly review CVs and conduct job interviews, where embellished interests are plentiful. Lying during the job application process is pretty common. A recent survey over 1,900 workers revealed that seven in 10 respondents confessed they had lied on their CVs, and 37% admitted they lied frequently. While adding wishful or lapsed hobbies isn’t so serious – or crucially, provable – other embellishments are. Upping responsibilities in general is pretty common (52% of CV lies), as is inflating job titles (52%), fabricating how many people you managed (45%), extending the length of time employed at a job (37%), and increasing metrics or accomplishments (17%.) Even more seriously, 31% of survey respondents had lied about the name of the company that employed them, 24% made up the entire position, and 11% lied about education credentials and volunteer work. The figures increase again when it comes to job interviews. Some eight in 10 of those surveyed confessed they had lied during a job interview, and 44% admitted to frequently bending the truth. US lawsuitTaking these stats into account, the vast majority of job seekers will not favour this latest trend in hiring practices in the US, where some hiring departments are using AI technology to analyse and assess video applicants. One such tool is HireVue’s Affectiva, which uses AI to analyse facial expressions, eye contact, and voice intonation, and is the focus of a class action lawsuit. Brendan Baker filed a state court lawsuit against CVS Health Corp. and CVS Pharmacy Inc., arguing that the drugstore chain violated a Massachusetts law banning the use of lie detector tests in hiring and employment, by using the tool in online job interviews without providing a disclaimer. Though a representative for HireVue has said its assessments are not, and never have been, designed to assesses the truthfulness of a candidate's response, things like pausing, eye movements and body language can all give away a liar, and “emotional AI” tools are trained to visually analyse their subjects. EU ViewAs the case rumbles on, lawmakers and legislators are discussing the application of old laws on newer technology, and naturally, this applies differently in every country. However, at EU-level, a ban on AI lie detectors at borders is one of thousands of amendments being considered to the AI act, which is geared at protecting citizens’ fundamental rights as the technology rapidly develops. Much criticism is centred around the €4.5m EU funding of the Horizon 2020 project iBorderCtrl, which includes developing a video lie detector based on AI to be used on visitors to the EU to determine if they're lying when answering questions. Under the AI Act, high-risk AI systems like these will be limited and banned, which includes emotion recognition in education institutions and the workplace. So if organisations are using AI technology to analyse video applicants, their days might be numbered. Though the EU AI Act received final approval from the European Parliament on March 13th, limits on AI technology with “unacceptable levels of risk” do not kick in for another six months, while the actual legislation will not be enacted until sometime 2025 at the earliest. It will then be a further two years before all rules of the act and obligations for high-risk systems apply. In the meantime, it’s understandable if job seekers are cautious about hiring processes, but being armed with up-to-date information on the EU AI Act is key. With this, candidates will be able to make informed decisions around participating in AI-enabled processes, and can protect both their privacy, and their embellishments. Ready to find a new job?

The firm drives the development of tech startups and scaleups across Poland and across the CEE region. Roughly half of the capital raised during this phase comes from financial institutions, including the European Investment Fund and the Polish Development Fund. The rest of the capital came from private investors, including Polish and foreign family offices. bValue Growth is a leader of growth equity provision in the region. It seeks to fill the financing gap between venture capital funds, which invest at an early stage, and private equity funds, which offer mainly buyouts. It is rare for investment funds in Poland to successfully raise a third fund. BVG’s investor base consists of nearly 50 percent institutional investors and the other 50 percent private investors, mainly from Poland and Western Europe. This investment was made possible via the European Scale-up Action for Risk capital programme which supports investments in scale-ups. “We appreciate the confidence that investors have placed in us. It is particularly satisfying to see the significant vote of confidence from the European Investment Fund at the first closing of the Fund, which greatly facilitated the acquisition of further investors.” said Maciej Balsewicz, Founder and Managing Partner at bValue. |

Its no-code SaaS loan management system serves both secured and unsecured instalment and credit line loans, as well as subscription, rent-to-own, and other fintech products. These services are available to consumers and businesses across various industries, online or offline, and payments can be made in cash or via transfer.

NEBRA, a research and development organisation that homes in on strategies for the privacy and scaling of blockchain technology through zero-knowledge proofs, was also supported by angels such as Tim Beiko from Ethereum Foundation, Kartik Talwar from ETHGlobal, Nick White from Celestia, Sandy Peng and Haichen Shen from Scroll. NEBRA has also received funding from a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator as a participant in the CSX Spring 2024 cohort in London. The funds will be used for further research into the Shared Settlement Layer (SSL) of the new internet, tackling the high cost of proof settlement on Ethereum and other blockchains by advancing ZKP technology. Zero-knowledge proofs hold promise for on-chain privacy, which will be key for blokchains to scale. But these technologies often prove prohibitively expensive, collectively costing Ethereum ecosystem users over $50 million in gas fees. During a rigorous 2023 stress test, UPA demonstrated remarkable resilience, processing 1,000,000 proofs within 36 hours – a throughput of 10 proofs per second with an average verification latency of around 2 minutes. "Just as Google revolutionized information access by aggregating internet data, and Uber transformed urban mobility by aggregating transportation resources, NEBRA is pioneering a new approach to bring economy of scale in blockchain ZKP settlements," said Dan Elitzer, co-founder. "NEBRA is establishing itself as the go-to platform for those seeking cheaper, more efficient ZKP settlement solutions across the blockchain ecosystem." |
