The European Union might be making strides toward regulating artificial intelligence (with passage of the AI Act expected by the end of the year), but the US government has largely failed to keep pace with the global push to put guardrails around the technology.

The White House, which said it “will continue to take executive action and pursue bipartisan legislation,” introduced an interim measure last week in the form of voluntary commitments for “safe, secure, and transparent development and use of AI technology.”

Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI agreed to “prioritize research on societal risks posed by AI systems” and “incent third-party discovery and reporting of issues and vulnerabilities,” among other things.

A survey conducted by the hiring platform along with global insights agency Skim found that 70% of tech workers had more than one offer on the table when they landed their current role, and that 67% of job hunters want to work for “established companies” over startups.

Tech workers have come to expect a certain level of transparency, and lack of details can affect whether they hit “apply.” According to Indeed, tech workers are most interested in job listings that give detailed information about salary and benefits, and the top reason cited for not completing an application is insufficient information about compensation.

Ask any CFO what excites them most about artificial intelligence, and you’ll get a similar answer: no more menial tasks and mindless data entry. But after that, try a trickier question: Which tasks are truly menial?
