“As AI companies rave about how their products are revolutionizing productivity, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants the tech industry to put its money where its automated mouth is.

In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Sanders argued that the time saved with AI tools should be given back to workers to spend with their families.”

I tested Perplexity vs Google AI overview with 7 prompts — the results were shocking

By Nigel Powell published yesterday

Is it the end for Google? New AI tools are starting to highlight Google search failings in a big way

Search is undergoing a profound change. For decades, Google has dominated the web search world, with some 90% of all searches funnelled through the massive Google machine. But suddenly, with the arrival of artificial intelligence, things are starting to change, and seriously so.

Not only are people increasingly using AI products like ChatGPT as their default search tool, but companies like Perplexity are also building businesses around search services. The idea is to combine the power of AI analysis with the huge amount of conventional search data available at the end of a cursor.

But Google is fighting back. The company has recently released an advanced search function called AI Overviews, which aims to bridge the two disciplines and deliver the kind of informed search results the market demands. It’s a new kind of search on steroids.

"This is part of what is lost by ChatGPT, the mistaken belief that the spat out string of words in a reasonable order is the only goal, when it’s often the cognitive act of producing the string of words that matters most."

"It’s a training ground for the most quintessentially human aptitudes, combining how to think with how to use language to communicate.

If you want to know what you think about a topic, write about it. Writing has a way of ruthlessly exposing unclear thoughts and imprecision."

"Artificial intelligence is already killing off important parts of the human experience. But one of its most consequential murders—so far—is the demise of a longstanding rite of passage for students worldwide: an attempt to synthesize complex information and condense it into compelling analytical prose."

Praktische reisgids verantwoorde inzet AI bij gemeenten

Gemeente Breda en de Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten (VNG) hebben een digitale handleiding gepubliceerd voor gemeenten die AI verantwoord willen inzetten. Deze praktische ‘reisgids’ staat vol tips, handvatten en reisvoorwaarden.

De gids laat in 13 verschillende reizen zien hoe Breda AI inzet en welke voordelen dit oplevert. Die reizen variëren van publiekszaken en financiën tot data-analyse en communicatie.

De voordelen in Breda

De gemeente Breda bespaart maandelijks gemiddeld 14 uur per medewerker dankzij AI-toepassingen. Denk hierbij aan gesproken interviews omzetten naar tekst, tekstversimpeling en in bestanden zoeken naar relevante informatie. Medewerkers houden hierdoor meer tijd over voor andere taken. Daarnaast verbetert de kwaliteit van dienstverlening en ervaren ambtenaren meer werkplezier, aldus de VNG.

Pilot uitgebreid naar andere gemeenten

De pilot van de gemeente Breda is onderdeel van in totaal 15 pilots Uitvoeringskracht en Arbeidsmarktkrapte, gefinancierd door de VNG. De goede resultaten en inzichten van de gemeente Breda vormen de aanleiding om deze aanpak uit te breiden naar andere gemeenten.

Voor elke gemeente

De handleiding bevat een praktische routekaart en concrete toolkit, met reistemplates, prompts en video’s. Geschikt voor elke gemeente.

Bekijk de reisgids ‘Verantwoorde inzet van AI in gemeenten’ op de website van VNG. Lees daar ook het nieuwsbericht over de reisgids.
