"AUV" stands for autonomous underwater vehicle. AUVs are unmanned underwater robots, and as their name suggests, they operate independently of humans. Unlike remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which are tethered to a service vessel, AUVs have no physical connection to their operator. Rather, AUVs are programmed or controlled by operators who may be on a vessel or even on shore, who tell an AUV where, when, and what should be sampled. AUVs carry a variety of equipment for sampling and surveying such as cameras, sonar, and depth sensors. Unlike ROVs, which transmit video via their tethers almost instantaneously to a control room on a ship, an AUV stores all data, including images and other sensor data, on onboard computers until it can be retrieved after the AUV is recovered at the end of a dive.

Better known as Gen Z, this generation was born between 1997 and 2012. They began entering the workforce around 2020. ①Having grown up amid the Great Recession and the pandemic, they are cynical and it is coloring their view of work. ②Perhaps, the most telling trend to date is conscious unbossing or the practice of avoiding management roles. ③Since these young workers have a strong desire to supervise others, they are eager to work hard to get promoted. ④More than half of Gen Z workers surveyed by a research team said they don't want to be managers.

From AI crafting emails, to AI systems recommending TV shows and even helping diagnose disease, the presence of machine intelligence in everyday life is no longer science fiction. And yet, for all the promises of speed, accuracy and optimization, there's a lingering discomfort. Some people love using AI tools. Others feel anxious, suspicious, even betrayed by them. Why? The answer isn't just about how AI works. It's about how we work. We don't understand it, so we don't trust it. Human beings are more likely to trust systems they understand. Traditional tools feel familiar: you turn a key, and a car starts. You press a button, and a lift arrives. But many AI systems operate as black boxes: you type something in, and a decision appears. The logic in between is __________. Psychologically, this is unnerving. We like to see cause and effect, and we like being able to interrogate decisions. When we can't, we feel disempowered.

_______________________________________________. If we increase our speed on most tasks, we generally lose accuracy; to increase precision, we must slow down. If a successful business expands, it is likely to suffer a decline in the informality and access to the boss that may have been a large part of its initial success. Human beings are blessed with unsurpassed intelligence, but biologists tell us that getting the large brains responsible for that intelligence through the narrow birth canal requires that we be born prematurely and that we suffer an unusually long infancy of uncommon helplessness as a result.
