Great points Nicholas Thompson! It is more important than ever that ethics in tech/AI is given its due attention. In general ethical business practices and humanistic competition should be the mantra for the future that will help us create a better tomorrow. Mostly we do not know how and when our information is being tracked and shared.
What are your thoughts and ideas on Ethics in AI?

The most interesting thing in tech: a rant against notifications and the ways that our default settings on our devices set us up for maximum buzzing, pinging, flashing, and, often, tracking. Maybe I sound like an old man. But I think this is particularly important as we enter an age of AI, in which all of the apps—trying to trick our lizard brains into spending a few more seconds with them—have access to infinite voices, near infinite information, and personalized details about us. The distraction problems we have could get so much worse. #mostinterestingthingintech

Nicholas brings up some very great points around how AI will potentially affect the volume and types of notifications.
Managing notifications has been something I have been working on for several years.
I was so excited to get my Apple Watch around 2016/17 especially since I would be able to get all my notifications without using my phone.
After realizing I was watching my wrist more than the road while driving, constantly watching my wrist during lectures while in college and being distracted at home and work I took it off after about 3 months as the benefits were few.
Since then I have taken steps to eliminate as many ongoing notifications as possible, and set up the critical notifications that will break through the quite.
On my desktop I have turned off most notifications audible and many visual notifications for Outlook, Gmail, our work chats and any other items that cause distractions.
The tabs on your browser can be used for indicators if a message is waiting and I have found if something is actually critical then someone will find you.
Maybe because I have been thinking about this recently I have noticed I have become hyper aware of anyone I am around who has audible notifications on and especially those with smart watches constantly disengaging with everything around them to check their wrist.
A mini case study: My day so far today!
Since 8am till about 430pm today I did a quick tally, I have had about 200 incoming items from Outlook, Calls, SMS, Gmail and work Chat (didn't add Social Media) which has roughly been about an average of about 22 per hour or one every 2.7 minutes.
With the highest two hours being 36 and 34 items.
That means if I allowed them to be distracting I would be distracted every 3 minutes throughout the day.
If you are struggling with feeling distracted, overwhelmed, short on time, always stress disabling and minimizing notifications should improve these feelings, or at least it has for me.
I think my next step is leaving my phone at my desk when going to meetings!
