Daniel Goleman has an outspoken warning for job seekers in 2022 and beyond: It’s not enough to just be smart. Dr Goleman, an American writer and psychologist, has spent decades touting the importance of ’emotional intelligence’ in the workplace and other areas of life. And it seems that companies and organizations have caught up with him. “[In the mid-1990s] someone said to me, ‘you know, you can’t use the word emotion in a business context’. Today, it’s very, very different,” he told ABC’s RN’s Future Tense. But what exactly is emotional intelligence or EI? And is it just talking about future work or ‘must-have skills’? What is emotional intelligence? There are several definitions of emotional intelligence, but it boils down to understanding your emotions, understanding the emotions of those around you, and acting accordingly. Dr Goleman, who put the term on the map with his 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, says it has four main components. Dr Dani

The rise of artificial intelligence that uses cameras to check for health and safety violations in the workplace has raised concerns about a creeping workplace surveillance culture and a lack of protection for workers. Key points: AI can use cameras to monitor workplaces for health and safety violations and hazards One company with an Australian client said that blurring of the face was one of the steps taken to protect privacy Experts say Australian laws are not up-to-date to adequately regulate the increasing use of AI in the workplace AI technology that uses CCTV cameras can be trained to identify violations such as when a worker is not wearing gloves or a hard hat, or to identify hazards such as spills. One company, Intenseeye, reports having many Australian customers for the new technology, including large mining companies. But Nicholas Davis, professor of emerging technologies at the University of Technology Sydney, said this latest use of AI raises questions about the growing s

Are period tracking apps a privacy concern? Andrea Ford, University of Edinburgh & Laura Lazaro Cabrera, Privacy International In late June, a law that was construed as granting the right to have an abortion in the US – Roe vs. Wade – was overturned, leaving decisions on the legality of the procedure for each state. Since then, half of US states have made moves to ban or restrict abortion, which technically means any woman who seeks the procedure can be prosecuted. After Roe vs Wade, a viral message quickly spread online, telling women to delete any period tracking app they were using. But why is this app a concern? Julia Ravey talks to Andrea Ford, a medical and cultural anthropologist at the University of Edinburgh… Andrea- There have been many concerns that have arisen since the news in the US. The concern is that the data in your app could potentially be used as incriminating evidence, if you were in a situation where you were mistreated for having an abortion. So that it can

Melbourne-based research has led to the creation of a self-calibrated photonic chip. Research led by Monash University and RMIT in Melbourne has found a way to replace bulky 3D optics with silicon chips. “We have demonstrated a self-calibrating self-programmable photonic filter chip featuring a signal processing core and an integrated reference path for self-calibration,” explains Monash University’s ARC-winning lead researcher Professor Arthur Lowery. “Self-calibration is very important because it makes tunable photonic integrated circuits useful in the real world; applications include optical communication systems that redirect signals to destinations based on their color, very fast similarity calculations (correlators), scientific instrumentation for chemical or biological analysis, and even astronomy. “Electronics saw a similar improvement in radio filter stability using digital techniques, which led to many phones being able to share the same slice of spectrum: our optical chips h
