As one of the world’s leading automakers, General Motors (GM) has a history of developing innovative cars, including electric vehicles (EVs) since its founding in 1908. However, the company’s approach to EVs has been inconsistent. The company has repeatedly developed and abandoned EVs, switched to electric trucks, and invested in lithium mines. These actions suggest a lack of clear and consistent commitment to EV development. GM’s approach to EVs has continued to be characterized by short-term tactics rather than a clear long-term strategy.
Prolonged product shortages during the Covid pandemic were stressful. But they pale in comparison to the anxiety and uncertainty faced by many American cancer patients as the cancer drug shortage saga continues. Oncologists across the nation are being forced to ration life-saving drugs and alter treatment plans.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Should we put the brakes on artificial intelligence? Some computer scientists think so. Carnegie Mellon University is one of the world's leading incubators. CMU doesn't think research should stop but guardrails are needed.
As the U.S. continues to wrestle with myriad concerns over the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence (AI), China has already emerged as an AI superpower with a clear focus on the use of data and analytics to achieve global dominance.

An audio journey of how data and analytics save lives, save money and solve problems.
Leaders of AI companies often argue that AI products will handle mundane tasks, freeing people up to be more productive and creative. And there are few tasks more mundane than taxes. An individual American taxpayer spends roughly 13 hours and $240 out-of-pocket costs just to prepare and file one annual tax return, according to one 2022 study—an estimated 1.15 billion hours collectively spent on tax preparation.
The growth of artificial intelligence and its wholehearted embrace by business higher education has surprised even those who have long studied it. Count among them Professor Tinglong Dai, who teaches a first-of-its-kind MBA course at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School called Data Science: Artificial Intelligence.
There is something different about the current moment in artificial intelligence. New capabilities are emerging rapidly due to advances in computing, algorithmic development, and access to vast amounts of data. The change feels real.
The Defender’s COVID NewsWatch provides a roundup of the latest headlines related to the SARS CoV-2 virus, including its origins and COVID vaccines. The views expressed in the excerpts from other news sources do not necessarily reflect the views of The Defender.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain topic has been on the headlines constantly. First, it was due to the limited availability of groceries on store shelves. Then, it was the semiconductor chips shortage that caused automobile production to be severely restricted. Home prices went up sharply due to the shortage of materials and more people expanding their housing footprint by building offices and additions. Then, there was the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
When T.J. Grimm and his team at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center put in their nightly orders to fill customers’ medications, they‘re never really sure that the orders will actually get filled. It’s a problem facing health care systems across the country: Pharmacy managers have been left scrambling to find supplies as the country deals with a near-record number of shortages affecting millions of people.
In December 2019, Connecticut announced the largest purchase of renewable energy in state history. Providing 804 megawatts of offshore wind power, Avangrid’s Park City Wind Project promised the equivalent of 14% of the state’s electricity supply, $890 million in direct economic development, improved grid reliability during the winter and the opportunity to slash over 25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
A bill nearing passage would ban offshore wind turbines in state waters.
