LinkedIn data has revealed a dramatic two-year surge in AI-related job postings; Sony research has revealed an overlooked aspect of skin colour in AI bias testing; Vyzer has secured $6.3 million seed funding for AI-driven wealth management platform; Google Pixel 8 series touts abundance of innovative generative AI features- this and more in our daily roundup. Let us take a look.
LinkedIn data reveals that job postings mentioning AI or generative AI have more than doubled globally between July 2021 and July 2023. Some countries, such as the U.K., Germany, and France, saw even larger increases. This trend spans various industries, with demand for AI skills emerging across diverse roles, from AI engineers to digital product managers and cybersecurity consultants, signalling a significant impact on the labour market, CNBC reported.
Sony researchers argue that AI bias tests need to consider red and yellow skin hues, not just lightness or darkness. They propose a "multidimensional" approach to measuring skin colour for more diverse and representative AI systems. Previous studies have highlighted biases, especially against darker-skinned females. Companies like Google and Meta have introduced skin tone scales to improve accuracy in AI systems, according to a report by the Verge.
Vyzer, a digital wealth management platform, has secured $6.3 million in a Seed round from VCs, angel investors, and family offices like iAngels, MonetaVC, and more.

Vyzer aims to democratise wealth management by eliminating the need for traditional high-cost models and financial advisors, making it accessible and comprehensible to everyday investors. The funds will be used to enhance AI capabilities and expand market presence. Co-founded by Litan Yahav, Tomer Salvi, and Guy Gamzu, Vyzer has offices in Israel and New York, the Calcalist reported.
