AI turns Amazon coders into Amazon warehouse workers

HEY SEATTLE! I'm appearing at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival NEXT SATURDAY (May 31) with the folks from NPR's On The Media!

On a recent This Machine Kills episode, guest Hagen Blix described the ultimate form of "AI therapy" with a "human in the loop":

https://soundcloud.com/thismachinekillspod/405-ai-is-the-demon-god-of-capital-ft-hagen-blix

One actual therapist is just having ten chat GPT windows open where they just like have five seconds to interrupt the chatGPT. They have to scan them all and see if it says something really inappropriate. That's your job, to stop it.

Blix admits that's not where therapy is at…yet, but he references Laura Preston's 2023 N Plus One essay, "HUMAN_FALLBACK," which describes her as a backstop to a real-estate "virtual assistant," that masqueraded as a human handling the queries that confused it, in a bid to keep the customers from figuring out that they were engaging with a chatbot:

https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-44/essays/human_fallback/

This is what makes investors and bosses slobber so hard for AI – a "productivity" boost that arises from taking away the bargaining power of workers so that they can be made to labor under worse conditions for less money. The efficiency gains of automation aren't just about using fewer workers to achieve the same output – it's about the fact that the workers you fire in this process can be used as a threat against the remaining workers: "Do your job and shut up or I'll fire you and give your job to one of your former colleagues who's now on the breadline."

This has been at the heart of labor fights over automation since the Industrial Revolution, when skilled textile workers took up the Luddite cause because their bosses wanted to fire them and replace them with child workers snatched from Napoleonic War orphanages:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/26/enochs-hammer/#thats-fronkonsteen

Textile automation wasn't just about producing more cloth – it was about producing cheaper, worse cloth. The new machines were so easy a child could use them, because that's who was using them – kidnapped war orphans. The adult textile workers the machines displaced weren't afraid of technology. Far from it! Weavers used the most advanced machinery of the day, and apprenticed for seven years to learn how to operate it. Luddites had the equivalent of a Masters in Engineering from MIT.

Weavers' guilds presented two problems for their bosses: first, they had enormous power, thanks to the extensive training required to operate their looms; and second, they used that power to regulate the quality of the goods they made. Even before the Industrial Revolution, weavers could have produced more cloth at lower prices by skimping on quality, but they refused, out of principle, because their work mattered to them.

Now, of course weavers also appreciated the value of their products, and understood that innovations that would allow them to increase their productivity and make more fabric at lower prices would be good for the world. They weren't snobs who thought that only the wealthy should go clothed. Weavers had continuously adopted numerous innovations, each of which increased the productivity and the quality of their wares.

Long before the Luddite uprising, weavers had petitioned factory owners and Parliament under the laws that guaranteed the guilds the right to oversee textile automation to ensure that it didn't come at the price of worker power or the quality of the textiles the machines produced. But the factory owners and their investors had captured Parliament, which ignored its own laws and did nothing as the "dark, Satanic mills" proliferated. Luddites only turned to property destruction after the system failed them.

Now, it's true that eventually, the machines improved and the fabric they turned out matched and exceeded the quality of the fabric that preceded the Industrial Revolution. But there's nothing about the way the Industrial Revolution unfolded – increasing the power of capital to pay workers less and treat them worse while flooding the market with inferior products – that was necessary or beneficial to that progress. Every other innovation in textile production up until that time had been undertaken with the cooperation of the guilds, who'd ensured that "progress" meant better lives for workers, better products for consumers, and lower prices. If the Luddites' demands for co-determination in the Industrial Revolution had been met, we might have gotten to the same world of superior products at lower costs, but without the immiseration of generations of workers, mass killings to suppress worker uprisings, and decades of defective products being foisted on the public.

So there are two stories about automation and labor: in the dominant narrative, workers are afraid of the automation that delivers benefits to all of us, stand in the way of progress, and get steamrollered for their own good, as well as ours. In the other narrative, workers are glad to have boring and dangerous parts of their work automated away and happy to produce more high-quality goods and services, and stand ready to assess and plan the rollout of new tools, and when workers object to automation, it's because they see automation being used to crush them and worsen the outputs they care about, at the expense of the customers they care for.

In modern automation/labor theory, this debate is framed in terms of "centaurs" (humans who are assisted by technology) and "reverse-centaurs" (humans who are conscripted to assist technology):

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

There are plenty of workers who are excited at the thought of using AI tools to relieve them of some drudgework. To the extent that these workers have power over their bosses and their working conditions, that excitement might well be justified. I hear a lot from programmers who work on their own projects about how nice it is to have a kind of hypertrophied macro system that can generate and tweak little automated tools on the fly so the humans can focus on the real, chewy challenges. Those workers are the centaurs, and it's no wonder that they're excited about improved tooling.

But the reverse-centaur version is a lot darker. The reverse-centaur coder is an assistant to the AI, charged with being a "human in the loop" who reviews the material that the AI produces. This is a pretty terrible job to have.

For starters, the kinds of mistakes that AI coders make are the hardest mistakes for human reviewers to catch. That's because LLMs are statistical prediction machines, spicy autocomplete that works by ingesting and analyzing a vast corpus of written materials and then producing outputs that represent a series of plausible guesses about which words should follow one another. To the extent that the reality the AI is participating in is statistically smooth and predictable, AI can often make eerily good guesses at words that turn into sentences or code that slot well into that reality.

But where reality is lumpy and irregular, AI stumbles. AI is intrinsically conservative. As a statistically informed guessing program, it wants the future to be like the past:

https://reallifemag.com/the-apophenic-machine/

This means that AI coders stumble wherever the world contains rough patches and snags. Take "slopsquatting." For the most part, software libraries follow regular naming conventions. For example, there might be a series of text-handling libraries with names like "text.parsing.docx," "text.parsing.xml," and "text.parsing.markdown." But for some reason – maybe two different projects were merged, or maybe someone was just inattentive – there's also a library called "text.txt.parsing" (instead of "text.parsing.txt").

AI coders are doing inference based on statistical analysis, and anyone inferring what the .txt parsing library is called would guess, based on the other libraries, that it was "text.parsing.txt." And that's what the AI guesses, and so it tries to import that library to its software projects.

This creates a new security vulnerability, "slopsquatting," in which a malicious actor creates a library with the expected name, which replicates the functionality of the real library, but also contains malicious code:

https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/12/ai_code_suggestions_sabotage_supply_chain/

Note that slopsquatting errors are extremely hard to spot. As is typical with AI coding errors, these are errors that are based on continuing a historical pattern, which is the sort of thing our own brains do all the time (think of trying to go up a step that isn't there after climbing to the top of a staircase). Notably, these are very different from the errors that a beginning programmer whose work is being reviewed by a more senior coder might make. These are the very hardest errors for humans to spot, and these are the errors that AIs make the most, and they do so at machine speed:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/23/maximal-plausibility/#reverse-centaurs

To be a human in the loop for an AI coder, a programmer must engage in sustained, careful, line-by-line and command-by-command scrutiny of the code. This is the hardest kind of code to review, and maintaining robotic vigilance over long periods at high speeds is something humans are very bad at. Indeed, it's the kind of task we try very hard to automate, since machines are much better at being machineline than humans are. This is the essence of reverse-centaurism: when a human is expected to act like a machine in order to help the machine do something it can't do.

Humans routinely fail at spotting these errors, unsurprisingly. If the purpose of automation is to make superior goods at lower prices, then this would be a real concern, since a reverse-centaur coding arrangement is bound to produce code with lurking, pernicious, especially hard-to-spot bugs that present serious risks to users. But if the purpose of automation is to discipline labor – to force coders to accept worse conditions and pay – irrespective of the impact on quality, then AI is the perfect tool for the job. The point of the human isn't to catch the AI's errors so much as it is to catch the blame for the AI's errors – to be what Madeleine Clare Elish calls a "moral crumple zone":

https://estsjournal.org/index.php/ests/article/view/260

As has been the case since the Industrial Revolution, the project of automation isn't just about increasing productivity, it's about weakening labor power as a prelude to lowering quality. Take what's happened to the news industry, where mass layoffs are being offset by AI tools. At Hearst's King Features Syndicates, a single writer was charged with producing over 30 summer guides, the entire package:

https://www.404media.co/viral-ai-generated-summer-guide-printed-by-chicago-sun-times-was-made-by-magazine-giant-hearst/

That is an impossible task, which is why the writer turned to AI to do his homework, and then, infamously, published a "summer reading guide" that was full of nonexistent books that were hallucinated by a chatbot:

https://www.404media.co/chicago-sun-times-prints-ai-generated-summer-reading-list-with-books-that-dont-exist/

Most people reacted to this story as a consumer issue: they were outraged that the world was having a defective product foisted upon it. But the consumer issue here is downstream from the labor issue: when the writers at King Features Syndicate are turned into reverse-centaurs, they will inevitably produce defective outputs. The point of the worker – the "human in the loop" – isn't to supervise the AI, it's to take the blame for the AI. That's just what happened, as this poor schmuck absorbed an internet-sized rasher of shit flung his way by outraged social media users. After all, it was his byline on the story, not the chatbot's. He's the moral crumple-zone.

The implication of this is that consumers and workers are class allies in the automation wars. The point of using automation to weaken labor isn't just cheaper products – it's cheaper, defective products, inflicted on the unsuspecting and defenseless public who are no longer protected by workers' professionalism and pride in their jobs.

That's what's going on at Duolingo, where CEO Luis von Ahn created a firestorm by announcing mass firings of human language instructors, who would be replaced by AI. The "AI first" announcement pissed off Duolingo's workers, of course, but what caught von Ahn off-guard was how much this pissed off Duolingo's users:

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/05/25/0347239/duolingo-faces-massive-social-media-backlash-after-ai-first-comments

But of course, this makes perfect sense. After all, language-learners are literally incapable of spotting errors in the AI instruction they receive. If you spoke the language well enough to spot the AI's mistakes, you wouldn't need Duolingo! I don't doubt that there are countless ways in which AIs could benefit both language learners and the Duolingo workers who develop instructional materials, but for that to happen, workers' and learners' needs will have to be the focus of AI integration. Centaurs could produce great language learning materials with AI – but reverse-centaurs can only produce slop.

Unsurprisingly, many of the most successful AI products are "bossware" tools that let employers monitor and discipline workers who've been reverse-centaurized. Both blue-collar and white-collar workplaces have filled up with "electronic whips" that monitor and evaluate performance:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/02/despotism-on-demand/#virtual-whips

AI can give bosses "dashboards" that tell them which Amazon delivery drivers operate their vehicles with their mouths open (Amazon doesn't let its drivers sing on the job). Meanwhile, a German company called Celonis will sell your boss a kind of AI phrenology tool that assesses your "emotional quality" by spying on you while you work:

https://crackedlabs.org/en/data-work/publications/processmining-algomanage

Tech firms were among the first and most aggressive adopters of AI-based electronic whips. But these whips weren't used on coders – they were reserved for tech's vast blue-collar and contractor workforce: clickworkers, gig workers, warehouse workers, AI data-labelers and delivery drivers.

Tech bosses tormented these workers but pampered their coders. That wasn't out of any sentimental attachment to tech workers. Rather, tech bosses were afraid of tech workers, because tech workers possess a rare set of skills that can be harnessed by tech firms to produce gigantic returns. Tech workers have historically been princes of labor, able to command high salaries and deferential treatment from their bosses (think of the amazing tech "campus" perks), because their scarcity gave them power.

It's easy to predict how tech bosses would treat tech workers if they could get away with it – just look how they treat workers they aren't afraid of. Just like the textile mill owners of the Industrial Revolution, the thing that excites tech bosses about AI is the possibility of cutting off a group of powerful workers at the knees. After all, it took more than a century for strong labor unions to match the power that the pre-Industrial Revolution guilds had. If AI can crush the power of tech workers, it might buy tech bosses a century of free rein to shift value from their workforce to their investors, while also doing away with pesky Tron-pilled workers who believe they have a moral obligation to "fight for the user."

William Gibson famously wrote, "The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." The workers that tech bosses don't fear are living in the future of the workers that tech bosses can't easily replace.

This week, the New York Times's veteran Amazon labor report Noam Scheiber published a deeply reported piece about the experience of coders at Amazon in the age of AI:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/business/amazon-ai-coders.html

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is palpably horny for AI coders, evidenced by investor memos boasting of AI's returns in "productivity and cost avoidance" and pronouncements about AI saving "the equivalent of 4,500 developer-years":

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andy-jassy-8b1615_one-of-the-most-tedious-but-critical-tasks-activity-7232374162185461760-AdSz/

Amazon is among the most notorious abusers of blue-collar labor, the workplace where everyone who doesn't have a bullshit laptop job is expected to piss in a bottle and spend an unpaid hour before and after work going through a bag- and body-search. Amazon's blue-collar workers are under continuous, totalizing, judging AI scrutiny that scores them based on whether their eyeballs are correctly oriented, whether they take too long to pick up an object, whether they pee too often. Amazon warehouse workers are injured at three times national average. Amazon AIs scan social media for disgruntled workers talking about unions, and Amazon has another AI tool that predicts which shops and departments are most likely to want to unionize.

Scheiber's piece describes what it's like to be an Amazon tech worker who's getting the reverse-centaur treatment that has heretofore been reserved for warehouse workers and drivers. They describe "speedups" in which they are moved from writing code to reviewing AI code, their jobs transformed from solving chewy intellectual puzzles to racing to spot hard-to-find AI coding errors as a clock ticks down. Amazon bosses haven't ordered their tech workers to use AI, just raised their quotas to a level that can't be attained without getting an AI to do most of the work – just like the Chicago Sun-Times writer who was expected to write all 30 articles in the summer guide package on his own. No one made him use AI, but he wasn't going to produce 30 articles on deadline without a chatbot.

Amazon insists that it is treating AI as an assistant for its coders, but the actual working conditions make it clear that this is a reverse-centaur transformation. Scheiber discusses a dissident internal group at Amazon called Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, who link the company's use of AI to its carbon footprint. Beyond those climate concerns, these workers are treating AI as a labor issue.

Amazon's coders have been making tentative gestures of solidarity towards its blue-collar workforce since the pandemic broke out, walking out in support of striking warehouse workers (and getting fired for doing so):

https://pluralistic.net/2020/04/14/abolish-silicon-valley/#hang-together-hang-separately

But those firings haven't deterred Amazon's tech workers from making common cause with their comrades on the shop floor:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/19/deastroturfing/#real-power

When techies describe their experience of AI, it sometimes sounds like they're describing two completely different realities – and that's because they are. For workers with power and control, automation turns them into centaurs, who get to use AI tools to improve their work-lives. For workers whose power is waning, AI is a tool for reverse-centaurism, an electronic whip that pushes them to work at superhuman speeds. And when they fail, these workers become "moral crumple zones," absorbing the blame for the defective products their bosses pushed out in order to goose profits.

As ever, what a technology does pales in comparison to who it does it for and who it does it to.

Turn Raw Footage into a Viral Piece: Why You Need a Pro Video Editor

If you’re a small business owner or agency trying to compete online, you already know that video content is essential. But creating videos that convert, the kind that get shared, boost brand awareness, and drive leads takes more than just filming and uploading. It takes strategy. It takes expertise. Most importantly, it takes the right talent. That’s where a pro video editor becomes your secret weapon.

In today’s attention economy, raw footage alone won’t cut it. People scroll fast, and your video has seconds to grab attention. A pro video editor knows how to structure content for retention, add visuals that resonate with your audience, and optimize it across platforms like YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn. They transform boring clips into branded content that reflects your business, connects emotionally, and delivers results.

Here’s the good news: You don’t need to spend a fortune to hire one. With platforms like OnlineJobs.ph, you can connect with highly-skilled, remote Filipino video editors who bring both creativity and reliability to the table. These Online Filipino Specialists (OFS) are known for their adaptability, strong communication, and deep understanding of Western media trends. They’re not working 24/7, but their output often makes it feel like they are.

As a business owner, your time is already stretched thin. You’re likely handling operations, marketing, customer service, and content creation all at once. But doing everything yourself can be a trap. Delegating technical, time-consuming tasks like video editing is the smartest way to scale efficiently without burning out. And in a world where remote work is becoming the norm rather than the exception, tapping into the global talent pool has never been easier. Remote work is here to stay, and your business should evolve with it.

Still unsure how much of a difference a video editor can make? Just look at the results from businesses that hired specialists to level up their content. For example, this case study on YouTube shows how proper editing completely changed the trajectory of a company’s marketing. And it’s not just about video hiring virtual assistants or WordPress experts can also drastically improve productivity and user experience, as seen in this Reddit success story.

You don’t have to do it all. If you’re serious about growing your brand, start by offloading the work that requires deep specialization and long hours. From editing your video reels to designing your blog, the right people can help you multiply your impact. And if you’re looking for a more personal take on how this shift can change your workflow, check out this Substack post: Stop Doing It All – How a Virtual Assistant Can Lighten Your Load.

At the end of the day, your content is your digital storefront. It’s the first impression your prospects get and often the deciding factor between a scroll and a sale. By working with a pro video editor, especially through trusted platforms like OnlineJobs.ph, you’re not just cleaning up footage, you’re creating marketing assets with real ROI.

So, ask yourself: is your video content doing everything it could be doing for your business? If not, it’s time to turn your raw footage into a piece of gold and make it viral with a little help from the pros.

The Future of Digital Marketing: Trends You Can’t Ignore in 2025 Digital marketing is transforming rapidly. In 2025, staying ahead means embracing tech, personalization, and trust. Here are the top trends to watch:

AI-Powered Everything From automating ads to creating personalized content and customer journeys in real time. In 2025, it's the core of smarter, faster campaigns.

Hyper-Personalization at Scale With data from multiple touchpoints, brands now deliver ultra-targeted campaigns using AI, smart segmentation, and dynamic content— creating experiences that truly connect.

Voice and Visual Search Optimization By 2025, more consumers will use voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant and visual search tools like Google Lens to discover products and services. That means your SEO strategy must include conversational keywords, structured data, and optimized images to stay searchable across new platforms.  Conversational Keywords: People talk differently than they type. Voice searches are often longer and more natural-sounding. Incorporate question phrases and natural language that matches how users speak (e.g., “best eco-friendly running shoes near me”).  Structured Data: Adding schema markup helps search engines understand your content better. It boosts your chances of appearing in rich results, voice answers, and visual search contexts.  Optimized Images: Visual search tools rely on clear, well-tagged images. Use descriptive file names, alt text, and ensure images load fast and are high quality to increase your visibility.

Influencer Marketing 2.0 Micro and nano influencers will dominate the space with authentic, niche content that drives trust and engagement. Brands in 2025 will focus less on follower count and more on genuine influence and community connection. Expect long-term brand-influencer partnerships, AI-generated influencers, and performance-based influencer campaigns to become standard.

Short-Form Video Still Reigns Thanks to platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, short-form video is king. In 2025, brands will invest more in snackable, mobile-first video content that educates, entertains, and converts. The key: authentic storytelling, user-generated content, and interactive formats like polls and challenges.

Cookieless Future & First-Party Data With third-party cookies on the way out, 2025 will see a shift toward privacy-first marketing. Brands will need to invest in first-party data collection via email signups, loyalty programs, surveys, and gated content. Transparency, consent, and data protection will be non-negotiable for customer trust.

Immersive Experiences (AR/VR) Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are transforming how customers explore products. From virtual try-ons to immersive 3D shopping, these technologies will redefine the e-commerce and retail experience. Brands embracing AR/VR will stand out by offering interactive, memorable user experiences.

Sustainable and Ethical Marketing Consumers in 2025 expect brands to stand for something. Sustainability, inclusivity, and social responsibility are no longer optional they’re expected. Marketing strategies will focus on authentic brand values, eco-conscious practices, and purpose-driven messaging.  Final Thoughts The digital marketing landscape in 2025 will be faster, smarter, and more human than ever. To succeed, brands must combine cutting-edge technology with authenticity, empathy, and ethical practice. KEYWORDS  The future of digital marketing.  Top trends.  Campaigns.  2025.  Digital Marketing.

As tempers flared last month during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s disastrous Oval Office confrontation with US President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance, Trump offered a blunt assessment of Ukraine’s limited leverage in any future negotiations with Russia. “You don’t have the cards,” he told Zelenskyy. It is a message the US leader has repeated on multiple occasions as he seeks to broker a peace deal and end the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Trump’s logic is easy enough to understand. After all, Ukraine is currently locked into a brutal war of attrition against a far larger and wealthier enemy. For over a year, the Russian army has been slowly but steadily advancing as Ukraine struggles to address mounting troop shortages and encounters regular issues with the flow of military assistance from the country’s Western allies. If this continues, most observers believe Moscow’s overwhelming advantages in terms of manpower, firepower, and funding make eventual Russian victory virtually inevitable.

The Ukrainians are acutely aware that the odds are stacked against them. However, they also understand that Russia’s invasion represents an existential threat to their nation. This helps to explain the remarkable resilience displayed by Ukraine’s army and Ukrainian society as a whole. Faced with a fight for survival against a military superpower, Ukrainians recognize that they cannot realistically expect to match Russia in terms of conventional military strength. Instead, their country’s trump card in this uneven struggle is the innovative and rapidly expanding Ukrainian defense tech sector.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion just over three years ago, an improvised industry of defense tech startups has mushroomed in garages, workshops, and warehouses across Ukraine. This trend has benefited from the country’s vibrant prewar IT industry, with many existing IT businesses and tech entrepreneurs switching their focus in 2022 to support the Ukrainian army.

This has led to dramatic increases in the domestic production of key items such as surveillance and attack drones, with Ukrainian developers engaged in a relentless daily race to stay ahead of their Russian adversaries. Hundreds of Ukrainian companies are now engaged in drone manufacturing, compared to a mere handful in 2021. The Ukrainian government recently unveiled plans to purchase around 4.5 million first person view drones in 2025, more than doubling last year’s number. This is enhancing Ukraine’s reputation as a global defense tech hub and boosting the country’s efforts to reduce its reliance on military aid from the West.

Ukrainian drones are playing a key role in transforming the modern battlefield and are now responsible for around two-thirds of Russian losses, according to a recent report by the Royal United Services Institute. Ukraine’s progress has been so groundbreaking that leading Western defense companies are increasingly looking to learn from the country. For example, Silicon Valley companies are tapping into the know-how of Ukrainian drone makers, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The impact of Ukraine’s defense tech prowess is perhaps most evident in the Black Sea. At the outset of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s navy was virtually nonexistent, while the dominance of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was taken for granted. Three years on, Ukraine has successfully leveraged low-cost, high-impact naval drones to offset Russia’s initial advantages and break the blockade of the country’s Black Sea ports.

Ukraine’s maritime drones have repeatedly proved their effectiveness, sinking or damaging numerous Russian warships and forcing Putin to withdraw the bulk of his fleet from Crimea to the safety of Russia itself. Despite the distances involved, Ukrainian naval drones are able to pose a threat to Russian shipping far from Crimea. In summer 2023, Ukraine launched a long-range drone attack that reportedly damaged a warship close the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, around six hundred kilometers from the nearest Ukrainian naval bases in the Odesa region.

Ukraine’s naval drone fleet continues to evolve at a rapid pace. In recent months, a new model equipped with missiles reportedly shot down a Russian helicopter over the Black Sea. Marine drones have also been developed as launch craft for aerial drones. Ukrainian officials claim these “miniature aircraft carriers” have already been used to hit Russian military targets in occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine. Looking ahead, the use of naval drones as platforms for aerial attacks could create opportunities for Ukraine to bypass Russian front line defenses and launch strikes from unexpected angles.

As Ukraine enters a fourth year of full-scale war against one of the world’s leading military powers, the need for continuous innovation on the battlefield and at sea remains critical. Ukraine’s remarkable success in the Battle for the Black Sea is an indication of what can be achieved when the Ukrainian military makes the most of the country’s innovative defense tech industry. Kyiv’s partners should take note of the key role being played by Ukrainian defense tech innovators and maximize their support for this strategically crucial sector.

AI Agent Development: How to Create Intelligent Virtual Assistants for Business Success

In today's digital landscape, businesses are increasingly turning to AI-powered virtual assistants to streamline operations, enhance customer service, and boost productivity. AI agent development is at the forefront of this transformation, enabling companies to create intelligent, responsive, and highly efficient virtual assistants. In this blog, we will explore how to develop AI agents and leverage them for business success.

Understanding AI Agents and Virtual Assistants

AI agents, or intelligent virtual assistants, are software programs that use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing (NLP) to interact with users, automate tasks, and make decisions. These agents can be deployed across various platforms, including websites, mobile apps, and messaging applications, to improve customer engagement and operational efficiency.

Key Features of AI Agents

Machine Learning (ML): Allows the assistant to improve over time based on user interactions.

Conversational AI: Facilitates human-like interactions.

Task Automation: Handles repetitive tasks like answering FAQs, scheduling appointments, and processing orders.

Integration Capabilities: Connects with CRM, ERP, and other business tools for seamless operations.

Steps to Develop an AI Virtual Assistant

1. Define Business Objectives

Before developing an AI agent, it is crucial to identify the business goals it will serve. Whether it's improving customer support, automating sales inquiries, or handling HR tasks, a well-defined purpose ensures the assistant aligns with organizational needs.

2. Choose the Right AI Technologies

Selecting the right technology stack is essential for building a powerful AI agent. Key technologies include:

NLP frameworks: OpenAI's GPT, Google's Dialogflow, or Rasa.

Machine Learning Platforms: TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.

4. Train the AI Model

Training an AI assistant involves feeding it with relevant datasets to improve accuracy. This may include:

Supervised Learning: Using labeled datasets for training.

Reinforcement Learning: Allowing the assistant to learn from interactions.

Continuous Learning: Updating models based on user feedback and new data.

Before deployment, rigorous testing is essential to refine the AI assistant's performance. Conduct:

User Testing: To evaluate usability and responsiveness.

A/B Testing: To compare different versions for effectiveness.

Performance Analysis: To measure speed, accuracy, and reliability.

6. Deploy and Monitor

Once the AI assistant is live, continuous monitoring and optimization are necessary to enhance user experience. Use analytics to track interactions, identify issues, and implement improvements over time.

Benefits of AI Virtual Assistants for Businesses

1. Enhanced Customer Service

AI-powered virtual assistants provide 24/7 support, instantly responding to customer queries and reducing response times.

2. Increased Efficiency

By automating repetitive tasks, businesses can save time and resources, allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks.

3. Cost Savings

AI assistants reduce the need for large customer support teams, leading to significant cost reductions.

4. Scalability

Unlike human agents, AI assistants can handle multiple conversations simultaneously, making them highly scalable solutions.

5. Data-Driven Insights

AI assistants gather valuable data on customer behavior and preferences, enabling businesses to make informed decisions.

Future Trends in AI Agent Development

1. Hyper-Personalization

AI assistants will leverage deep learning to offer more personalized interactions based on user history and preferences.

2. Voice and Multimodal AI

The integration of voice recognition and visual processing will make AI assistants more interactive and intuitive.

by Sean Durns

The United States is facing a munitions crisis. America’s defense industrial base is a shadow of its former self, and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have fed growing concerns about a rapidly depleting stockpile. Fortunately, our ally Israel has a potential solution.

The risk is clear: Were a major war to break out with China, the U.S. might well run out of munitions within the first few weeks of combat operations. Wars in Europe and the Middle East have already put pressure on an already stressed defense industrial base. And policymakers have taken notice.

In January 2023, Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro warned that if the U.S. defense industry didn’t boost production, arming both the U.S. and Ukraine would become “challenging.” Indeed, the U.S. is in such dire need of munitions that it has dipped into stockpiles in South Korea and Israel, among other places, to help arm Ukraine.

Various factors have contributed to the munitions shortage: bureaucratic red tape, a decline in the number of prime contractors, and a budget and appropriations process that discourages upfront investments that are necessary to strengthen the defense industrial base. It is a problem that won’t be fixed overnight.

But Israel has pointed to a temporary solution that can help.

The Israeli government intends to ramp up its domestic manufacturing of important armaments, including munitions. In so doing, Israel will gain greater self-reliance, and the U.S. will get some much-needed breathing room to focus on its own munitions needs.

In January 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Jewish state is “preparing the defense industries to disconnect from dependency on the rest of the world.” Netanyahu noted the recent war with Hamas had resulted in surging defense spending and that the Israeli government “will have to invest in a multi-year plan to free Israel from dependence on external purchases.” It would be, he acknowledged, a vast and costly undertaking.

Yaakov Lapin, an Israel-based military affairs correspondent, recently highlighted that “Israel has begun shifting toward greater domestic ammunition production.” Israel’s Ministry of Defense has already begun reaching out to local defense companies to boost production. Artillery shells, sophisticated guided air-to-ground munitions, and interceptors for Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome are all slated to be built domestically.

Yet not everything can be produced on Israeli soil. Numerous weapons systems used by Israel, including aircraft, will continue to be manufactured in the U.S., giving Americans jobs. And revolutionary defense technology developed in Israel with U.S. assistance, such as the Iron Dome, is often shared with Americans.

Israel’s decision to bring some production home will create jobs for Israelis. It will also make them less reliant on the U.S. The Jewish state faces a precarious security environment, virtually surrounded by Iranian-backed proxies that seek its destruction. By having key armaments on hand, Israel will be better prepared for future battles and future wars. It will also grant greater flexibility to Israeli decision-makers.

The U.S. stands to benefit too.

By having key allies step up and take on more of the defense burden, Washington will be able to focus on growing threats in the Indo-Pacific.

What Are the Top AI Trends Scottsdale App Developers Should Watch in 2025

Scottsdale, Arizona, has become a hotbed for innovation in mobile app development. With a thriving tech scene and a wealth of talented developers, Scottsdale app development companies are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. As we head into 2025, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to play an even bigger role in shaping the future of mobile apps. Here at Net-Craft.com, a leading mobile app development company in Scottsdale, we're keeping a close eye on the evolving landscape of AI and its potential to revolutionize the mobile app experience. This blog article explores the top AI trends that Scottsdale app developers should be aware of in 2025:

1. Hyper-Personalization with AI-powered Recommendations

Personalization is no longer a luxury; it's an expectation. AI can take personalization to a whole new level by analyzing user data and behavior to deliver hyper-personalized recommendations. This can be anything from suggesting relevant products or services within an e-commerce app to recommending personalized learning paths in an educational app. Scottsdale app developers who leverage AI for hyper-personalization can create a more engaging and rewarding user experience, ultimately boosting user retention and satisfaction.

2. Conversational AI: Chatbots and Virtual Assistants Take Center Stage

Chatbots powered by AI are rapidly becoming a ubiquitous feature in mobile apps. These chatbots can answer user queries, provide customer support, and even complete simple tasks. In 2025, we expect to see even more sophisticated chatbots emerge, capable of carrying on natural conversations and understanding complex user requests. Scottsdale mobile app developers should consider integrating AI-powered chatbots to streamline customer service, improve accessibility, and offer 24/7 support to users.

3. AI-powered Image and Video Recognition

AI is making significant strides in the realm of image and video recognition. This technology can be leveraged in mobile apps for various purposes, such as object detection, facial recognition, and content moderation. For example, an e-commerce app could use AI to allow users to search for products by simply taking a picture. Similarly, a social media app could leverage AI for content moderation, automatically flagging inappropriate content. Scottsdale app developers who integrate AI-powered image and video recognition can enhance user experience, improve security, and unlock new functionalities within their apps.

4. Democratization of AI Development with Low-code/No-code Tools

Traditionally, AI development has been a complex and resource-intensive process. However, the emergence of low-code/no-code AI development tools is making it easier for Scottsdale app developers, even those without extensive AI expertise, to integrate AI functionalities into their mobile apps. These tools provide pre-built AI models and drag-and-drop interfaces, allowing developers to leverage AI capabilities without needing to write complex code. This trend is expected to accelerate in 2025, opening doors for wider adoption of AI in mobile app development.

5. Explainable AI: Building Trust and Transparency

As AI becomes more sophisticated, the need for explainability becomes paramount. Users want to understand how AI-powered features within a mobile app are making decisions and recommendations. In 2025, we expect to see a growing focus on Explainable AI (XAI) techniques that can provide users with clear and concise explanations for AI-driven actions. Scottsdale app developers who prioritize XAI can build trust with users and ensure a more transparent user experience.

The Road Ahead for Scottsdale App Developers

The future of mobile app development is undoubtedly intertwined with the evolution of AI. By staying informed about the latest AI trends and embracing these technologies, Scottsdale app developers can create more intelligent, engaging, and user-centric mobile applications. Here at Net-Craft.com, we are committed to staying at the forefront of AI innovation and helping our clients leverage this powerful technology to build successful mobile apps.
