"Happy Friday! Ever wondered what Elon Musk's xAI stands for? (Of course you have.) According to a recent Tesla filing, the startup's full name is "eXploratory Artificial Intelligence." There's just one problem: Neither Musk nor xAI appears to have publicly said that's the case. In today's big story, companies' push to get employees back to the office includes looking at the data. It's working better for some ( Microsoft) more than others ( AT&T)."
"AT&T = Attendance taking & trouble. That's the pickle the telecom giant is in when it comes to enforcing its RTO policy. A system meant to track the hours workers actually spend in the office is causing more headaches than it's worth, reports BI's Dominick Reuter. AT&T chief marketing and growth officer Kellyn Kenny told employees last month she understands inaccuracies in the attendance tracking tool are "driving people to the brink of frustration.""
A Tesla filing lists xAI's full name as "eXploratory Artificial Intelligence," but neither Elon Musk nor xAI has publicly confirmed that name. Companies are pressing employees to return to the office and increasingly relying on badge and location data to measure compliance. Some firms, notably Microsoft, report better outcomes while others, notably AT&T, face problems. AT&T deployed an attendance tracker to detect "coffee-badging," set benchmarks for hours and days, and saw parking and desk shortages during rollout. The tracker produced inaccuracies that management says have driven employees to frustration, prompting memos to enforce RTO. Markets show Wall Street investing heavily in Texas offices, Microsoft is pushing to build AI internally, and Flip's bid to challenge TikTok failed.
