AI Gives Musician Voice Back; Automates White-Collar Work

A musician with ALS regained his voice through AI, while the future of white-collar jobs faces automation, and a figure skater's Olympic dreams faltered, according to recent news reports. Patrick Darling, a 32-year-old musician diagnosed with ALS, performed on stage for the first time in two years thanks to AI technology that allowed him to sing again, as reported by MIT Technology Review. Simultaneously, Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman predicted that most white-collar jobs could be automated within 18 months, as stated in Fortune. In other news, U.S. figure skater Ilia Malinin, a favorite for gold, finished eighth at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, according to NPR News.

Darling's performance was a deeply emotional moment for both the musician and the audience, as he had lost the ability to sing due to ALS, a motor neuron disease affecting the body's muscles. The AI technology enabled him to overcome this challenge and reconnect with his bandmates and fans. "There are tears in the audience," the MIT Technology Review reported, describing the impact of his performance.

The potential for AI to transform the job market is also making headlines. Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, predicted that AI could perform most professional tasks at a human level within the next 18 months. This could lead to significant changes in the employment landscape for those with law degrees and MBAs, as well as those with less formal credentials, according to Fortune.

Meanwhile, at the Winter Olympics, figure skater Ilia Malinin's performance did not meet expectations. The 21-year-old, considered a frontrunner for gold, struggled with a series of stumbles and falls, ultimately finishing eighth. NPR News reported on the disappointment, highlighting the unexpected outcome for the U.S. figure skating phenom.

In other news, "Heated Rivalry" star Hudson Williams celebrated his birthday at Gold House's Lunar New Year party in New York, according to Variety. The event included dancing to ABBA with Lola Tung and others. Additionally, Vox reported that Wikipedia is experiencing a "renaissance" in the age of AI, though questions remain about the future of its human-powered identity. The article noted that AI bots are now training using Wikipedia's content.
