The US automation provider Zapier has introduced an internal dashboard that records the token consumption of each employee. Tokens are the unit in which AI language models process and account for text. The more an employee works with artificial intelligence, the more tokens he or she uses – and then has to explain why. If it turns out that, in the opinion of management, the tokens were used without good reason, this could have disciplinary consequences, explains Brandon Sammut, Chief AI Transformation Officer at Zapier. Zapier is not unique when it comes to AI monitoring. However, other companies have different…
The archbishop of Valencia, Enrique Benavent, refuses to intervene in the controversy generated in Sagunto as a result of the rejection of the inclusion of women by the brothers of Holy Week.

Moreno: “The greatest threat to the absolute majority is abstention”Neither PSOE nor Vox, the biggest threat to not revalidating its absolute majority on May 17 is abstention. This was stated by the president of the Andalusian Regional Government, Juan Manuel Moreno, during an interview with the Cope network. The mobilization of his electorate is what most worries the popular leader, who has once again appealed to his new mantra: “Either an absolute majority or the mess that Sánchez and my colleagues are in for not having stability,” he said about the balance of the Government of Spain with his partners…

Why “Team Human x AI” is now becoming an HR topic Artificial intelligence has arrived in recruiting, learning and performance – but the crucial question is: How does leadership remain human? With the annual motto “Team Human x AI”, the focus is on daily work with AI. For HR managers, it’s no longer about people or Machine, but about the targeted interaction of data strength and empathy. Anyone who is responsible for personnel and organizational development, leadership and people & culture today must actively shape this interaction. Otherwise, tools and tech providers will determine the rules of the game –…
Things have gone faster than expected, although Pedro Sánchez has been mulling over this decision for a long time, one of the most difficult of his various Government crises. The call for the Andalusian elections, much earlier than expected, forces the president to make a very difficult change, replacing María Jesús Montero as number two in the Executive, first vice president and Minister of Finance. Almost everything in the Executive goes through three people: Pedro Sánchez, Montero and Félix Bolaños. The Minister of Finance is behind all the negotiations, she works tirelessly seven days a week, she is always involved…
