AI promised to free senior employees from tedious work. In reality it is loading them with more tasks

by

Imagine a young recent graduate in finance, eager to join a large consulting firm. He dreams of learning the trade from below. That inexorably involves preparing reports, researching markets, creating presentations, etc. But along comes AI and suddenly those routine tasks are automated. He produce more and faster, but all that torrent of documents lands on the desk of the person in charge of supervising him, a senior manager who is now passing hours checking errors that have been overlooked. This scenario is what reveals a study prepared by the consulting firm UpSlide and its conclusion leaves an unexpected twist: artificial intelligence not only removes the access ladder for new workers, but also burdens the most veteran workers.​​ AI takes away opportunities for recent graduates. According to the data that they are being collected In different studies on the impact of AI on recent graduates, job offers for entry-level positions have been reduced between 11% and 20% in the last year. The reason: AI now takes over the basic administrative tasks that before these young people did. Furthermore, a elaborate study by researchers from the University of Navarra and IESE Business School, based on data from 138 million workers in the United States, reveals that in companies exposed to generative AI, average salaries fall by 4.5% compared to those not exposed. In the most affected, the salary drop reaches 7.7%, with the initial salaries of juniors decreasing by 6.3%, while those of seniors remain stable or increase slightly.​ Juniors produce more, seniors review more. The UpSlide report indicates that younger employees use the AI ​​tools their companies have implemented to improve their efficiency in distribution (24%) and research (22%) tasks. On the other hand, the use of AI for senior profiles implies an increase in the review and quality control tasks of their work. According to the authors of the study, while juniors have stepped on the accelerator producing more content and documentation with AI, seniors have had no choice but to dedicate more time in their day to review all that new AI generated content. “Rather than reducing workload, AI is displacing: it places more pressure on senior professionals, who must now review, validate and correct a growing volume of AI-generated content. This bottleneck is especially critical in high-value operations, where the margins of error are minimal,” the study’s authors underline. AI overloads seniors. The data indicates that 41% of the seniors participating in the study dedicate more than 11 hours per week to reviews, such as checking errors in the figures of financial presentations or formats. 83% of them recognize greater pressure on seniors for quality reviews, and 82% see more risk of those errors finally reaching the client. “While the technology is very impressive, it just doesn’t beat the professional touch. That’s why we’re making sure to create review checkpoints with humans in the workflow,” said Joshua Stolarz, Managing Director at KPMG in the study.​​ A model that makes the revision more expensive. Yes, as they point out the evidenceAI automates training tasks for junior profiles, concentrating review on seniors, one of the arguments used by the main CEOs of technology companies that the use of AI would allow the most senior profiles to free yourself from administrative tasks to focus on giving value to the products. By leaving them with the burden of reviewing AI-generated content, you actually bury them in more administrative work. If the trend pointed out by the study is consolidated, companies could opt for more veteran profiles in their hiring, which would reverse the dynamics of fire these employees when the cuts come. However, these more experienced profiles also they earn better salariesso many companies could rethink implementing AI if it means increasing your labor costs.

This loading brows with 192 solar panels and a hybrid system. The most striking thing is that you can do it without crew

by

Covered by 192 solar panels, Blue Marlin It seems more a floating installation than a traditional freighter. But under that futuristic aspect a remarkable advance is hidden: this ship, designed to operate in interior waters, is the first in its class capable of Use sun energy to drive. We do not talk about auxiliary or lighting systems on board: panels feed their electrical propulsion system. And best of all, he is already sailing. The technical advance is not alone in the design: it is in how it moves. The Blue Marlin combines solar energy, batteries and diesel generators in a hybrid system capable of adapting to each section of the trip. Under good light conditions, panels can generate up to 35 kilowatts, enough to feed the propulsion system without external help. At other times, what is known as Peak Shaving: Automatic management that allows reducing the use of generators, activating them only when it really takes. Solar panels and diesel: all that at the service of a specific task Solar energy has already been the protagonist in other maritime proposals: since Cruises that install panels on the balconiesuntil Flexible candles with Perovskitas that promise a new generation of sustainable ships. There were even those who, more than a decade ago, dared to go around the world with him larger solar boat ever built. Blue Marlin has not been created to go around the world or to travel oceans. Its objective is much more concrete: transport steel and bulk by northwestern Germany. These types of routes, which cross interior channels, are key to reducing the use of trucks and emissions in the logistics chain. By incorporating electric propulsion, they affirm, Blue Marlin allows you to reduce until 36,000 kilos of CO2 a yeara figure nothing smaller for a single ship. In addition to its hybrid propulsion system, the Blue Marlin incorporates a second relevant innovation: remote navigation. Thanks to Seafar technology, the ship can operate without crew on board in certain stretches of the journey. After overcoming the evidence, the German authorities They have authorized that Blue Marlin Navigate telecontrolled between Salzgitter and Friedrichsfeld. This not only reduces operational costs, it also opens the door to a new logistics model in which part of the control can be done from the ground. One of the biggest challenges of river transport is to maintain operability when water level drops. Blue Marlin has been built with that problem in mind. Your helmet has been designed to guarantee stability and maneuverability With a draft of only 1.10 meters. Thanks to its veth helm propellers and an additional bow propeller, it can maneuver precisely even in complex sections. This capacity makes it a robust tool for an increasingly unpredictable environment. Behind the Blue Marlin there are two key actors: HGK Shipping, that moves 43 million tons per year in Europeand Salzgitter Agresponsible for one of the largest steel productions on the continent. Together they have developed a freighter that not only fulfills a logistics function, but also symbolizes a change of course. The construction has been carried out in several phases and countries, with very demanding standards.

Let’s tell you everything What you can do with the USB-C connector of your Android mobile. This is the slot that is used to put the mobile to load, although there are also many other things that you will be able to do with it, and that is what we are going to tell you. We are going to tell you at different points everything you will be able to do with this connector. We will explain it to you in a very summarized way, so that you understand that characteristic, and thus be able to think what you can do Better data transfer To be able to send data from another device to your mobile online, messages to oneself in messaging apps, or through the cloud or bluetooth is fine. But wired connection is still faster When moving the data from or to your Android. Although the transmission speed may depend on the USB-C version that integrates each manufacturer, and when you connect two devices with each other the speed is the maximum of the slowest of the two, it will almost always be faster than transfer data wirelessly. Entertainment that does not occupy memory As this is a standardized connector and almost everyone uses it, you will also be able to connect external storage units that also use USB-C. For example, there are some pendrive and hard drives that use it, and there are also SD or microSD card adapters. This will allow you to carry large files in these units, and connect them to the mobile to consume them. Think, for example, in entertainment, such as Books, music or videos. You can take them in these units without spending internal storage or cloud space. Manual backups Beyond the backups made in the cloud, you can Save important files manually In these storage units that we have mentioned before. Because there may be some that you want to keep in another physical place, and this is a good method. For example, imagine that you have stored photos or videos that occupy a lot, but you do not want to lose or pay more space in the cloud. Well, you can keep them manually in these units to keep them but save the space they occupy. Load other devices Another thing you will be able to do is Use your Android as an external batterysomething especially useful in the event that you have a model with a especially large battery. You can connect another device to it, and load that other mobile or tablet. Of course, don’t forget that this will make your battery run faster. Use controls to play without latency If you usually use your mobile or Android tablet to play top -level games, it is possible that in some cases you prefer to use a command. It may not matter in some games, but there are others in which It may be important to use a wiring control Use a USB-C connector. As in data transfers, when you use a wiring control You will have much less latencywhich means that since you press a button until the order of the button reaches the mobile will pass less milliseconds. In some competitive games this can prevent great disadvantages. Connect a mouse or keyboard to your Android If you have an adapter to be able to connect the USB of type a that mice use at the USB-C port of your Android, you will be able to connect a mouse to use it On your mobile or tablet. Maybe in contexts such as when you have connected a monitor, you can serve to move a little better by the interface. In addition to a mouse, you can also connect a keyboard, just like what we have told you before connecting a control control. Use your mobile as a camera … or vice versa You can use your camera Android as webcam in Windowsand thus take advantage of the quality of which your phone equips so you don’t need to buy any external. For this you will need a cable that connects the mobile to the computer, and A specific application Help you take advantage of it. You can also connect an external or webcam camera to your Android using an OTG adapter (ON-THE-GO). This is much less common, and does not always work well, since it depends on the capabilities of each phone, and the applications you have installed to take advantage of this.

Let’s tell you what are the Uses you can give to the USB-C of your iPhone Beyond connecting the charger. Because this is a connector that you will be able to take advantage of many ways, and we are going to tell you the main and most everyday. He USB-C or type C It is a connection standard, which has been established for all electronic devices. For years the iPhone have used other connectors for the loader, but in the last models we already have this small USB of format. And using this standard causes you to make many other tasks with him. Faster data transfer If you work by exchanging files between your iPhone and a computer frequently, connect them by cable will always allow you higher transfer speed. For small files you can give the same, but for the big ones you can make a lot of differences. Here, you should know that the “normal” models or iPhone base have USB 2.0, with a limited transfer speed of 480MB/s. While, Pro models do have better transferlike the Pro Max, with second generation USB 3.2 with speeds up to 10GB/s. Entertainment that does not occupy memory You can also use type C USB to connect external storage units On your iPhone. Imagine that you have a hard drive, a pendrive or any other unit that has a USB-C adapter. Then, you can connect them to the iPhone and access their content from the file explorer One of the advantages of this is to be able to carry large files in external units. With this, you can buy a pendrive with USB-C and Put books, videos, musicand everything you want. Then you connect it and ready, you see it from the storage. Manual backups Another thing for which you can use these units is for Create manual backups. By this I mean that beyond making backup copies in ICloud, you can save in an external unit any other data or file of your phone that you do not want to lose. For example, if you have concrete photos or videos that you do not want to depend on the cloud, you can connect a storage unit for USB-C, go to the file app and move what you want to this unit. Load other devices Although the iPhone do not stand out for their great autonomy, if you have another device whose battery has been exhausted and has a USB-C charger, you can Use your iPhone as an external battery. This can be used for your Apple Watch or the Airpods, for example, although you will need your iPhone to have enough battery. You will also allow you to load other mobiles or tablets, something to save a friend if your device has run out of anything. Therefore, it is a characteristic and a possibility that should be known. Use controls to play without latency If you like to play video games on the mobile and prefer the controls to the tactile controls on screen, it is good to be able to connect what you want through Bluetooth. However, You can also connect wired control that use USB-C connectors. The advantage of opting for the wired option is that There is much less latency. What you do in the command moves to the mobile instantly, and depending on the type of game this can give you more advantages (or less disadvantages) compared to the Bluetooth controls. Connects headphones or audio interface This connector also allows you to connect your iPhone to audio interfaces and sound cards. With the adapted to adequate audio jack, You can also connect it to headphones wired to listen to music with the highest possible quality, since Bluetooth does not allow it to make the most. Connect on external screens There may be times when your iPhone screen is small. In these cases, you should know that the connector will also serve you to Duplicate your mobile screen and make it look large on an external monitor that also has wired entrance. You will need Use a thunderbolt cable with USB-C format that allows connecting the iPhone. Then, everything that happens on the mobile screen you will also see on the monitor, and you can see any file you have, or use any large screen app. Improve developer processes If you are an application developer for iOS, having a USB-C will allow you Better debugging or purification process. This is because frictions are greatly reduced to connect to a computer or other device and execute specific programming tools. A cable to dominate them all In short, what you should know is that externally The USB-C is a universal connector that all devices use. Inside the cable there may be many differences that mark aspects such as transmission speed and load power, but on the outside almost all are compatible with each other. This also means that the ancient problem that the iPhone had a different connector was already behind a couple of years ago. Now the Android mobile charger will serve your iPhone and vice versa. This can help you and get you out of more than one problem if you run out of battery and have to ask someone a charger or an external battery.
