<p>In a major move&nbsp;to mitigate the inherent risks associated with the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, the United States government has taken a monumental step by issuing what is being hailed as a "landmark Executive Order" (EO).</p>

<p>This EO is geared towards harnessing the immense potential of AI while simultaneously implementing safeguards to manage its associated risks.

<p>A key facet of this move is to drive innovation and lure top-notch AI professionals to the United States, reported the New York Times.

<p>The EO places a strong emphasis on modernising and streamlining the visa application process, interviews, and reviews, in a bid to facilitate the smooth entry and integration of AI experts into the United States.</p>

<p>One notable consequence of this move is its potential to benefit Indian IT professionals in America. It is anticipated that this EO could lead to faster processing of various visas such as H1B, O-1, F1, and Green Cards for those pursuing studies and employment in AI fields.</p>

<p>Therefore, it is proposed that the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) might create a more lenient or distinct category within EB1-B to accommodate individuals working in the AI sector.</p>

<p>The new guidelines also stress on&nbsp;the need to assess, formulate, and publish policies that support foreign nationals employed in the AI field, facilitating their transition to green card status.</p>

US to make immigration faster, easier for AI professionals. How will this help Indians?

<p>This is the day and age of&nbsp;convenience economy. Everything is available at the tap of a finger. Press a button and your room's lights can be turned on and off. Press another button and your drapes can be opened. However, what about that toaster, serving your staple breakfast in the morning?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, a certain company named Tineco is taking care of it as well. Reportedly, the company's new product, a $340 toaster that connects to your home's Wi-Fi can be used to toast bread from afar and most importantly, according to your liking and preference. It is expected to be rolled out in the markets from next month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Two slices don’t have to be the same, meaning that you can individually adjust the toast for each slot. Crucially, this means you no longer need to worry about “who goes first” – two people can have their ideal toast cooking away, simultaneously,” the company's description of the product reads.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For a product that is easily available for under $50 and works like a charm for most consumers, Tineco has certainly grabbed the eyeballs of the curious ones and the self-proclaimed 'early adaptors' of the technology.&nbsp;After all, one expects miraculous things from a product when it is priced as costly as $340.</p>

<p>However, the truth is, the toaster, with its patented technology, apart from storing up to 10 toasting preferences, doesn't do a lot more than its conventional counterparts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is a gimmick that grabs eyeballs but beyond that, it is not a practical product that can run uninterrupted for more than 10 years, which most toasters seem to do without breaking a sweat.</p>
