Circuit, a company that makes last mile route planning software, surveyed 1,000 delivery drivers about their health and habits. The team then used AI to visually represent what those drivers are likely to look like in the next 25 years if habits don’t improve. The results, rendered by AI, pack a real punch. They also highlight the role visual representation – which is now the purview of AI, thanks to OpenAI’s DALL-E and other AI image generation engines – can have in data-driven persuasion....

Recently, the WSJ has published “The Facebook Files,” a set of articles based on a review of the social media giant’s internal documents, research, draft presentations, and online employee discussions. Among the reports is an allegation made by the news outlet that the company knows its platforms – including Facebook and Instagram – are “riddled” with flaws that “cause harm, often in ways only the company fully understands” and these alleged issues are known all the way up to the chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg....
