Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is pushing back against growing fears that artificial intelligence will destroy jobs, arguing instead that AI is creating a large new wave of work. Speaking at a Milken Institute event with MSNBC’s Becky Quick, Huang said AI should be seen as a job creator and a major opportunity for the United States to rebuild its industrial strength. His comments come at a time when many workers, especially younger and entry-level employees, are worried about how qu

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of Formula One’s future, changing how teams compete, operate, and promote themselves in one of the world’s most technology-driven sports. Formula One has always depended on speed, engineering, and data, but AI is now becoming a bigger part of both on-track performance and off-track business strategy. With eight new AI partnerships signed in the past six months alone, the sport is showing how quickly artificial intelligence is m

A new issue brief from the United Nations Department of Global Communications and the Conscious Advertising Network warns that the rapid and largely unregulated adoption of artificial intelligence in the advertising industry could significantly deepen a global information integrity crisis. The report, titled Strengthening Information Integrity: Advertising, Artificial Intelligence and the Global Information Crisis, argues that advertising sits at the core of the digital infor

Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI assistant, is reportedly considering one of the largest private funding rounds in technology history. The AI startup has received several preemptive offers to raise around $40 billion to $50 billion at a valuation between $850 billion and $900 billion. If completed, the deal would more than double Anthropic’s previous valuation of $380 billion from February and could place it at or above OpenAI’s recent private market valuation. Inv

Taylor Swift has taken a significant legal step in response to the rapid rise of artificial intelligence by filing new trademark applications designed to protect both her voice and her image from unauthorized digital replication. The filings, submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, include two “sound marks” featuring recorded audio clips of Swift speaking and a trademark for a stage photograph from her Eras Tour. According to trademark attorney Josh Gerben

OpenAI’s latest AI models developed an unexpected habit: talking about goblins. After users and employees noticed ChatGPT and related tools using odd creature-based metaphors, OpenAI investigated why words like “goblin,” “gremlin,” and even references to raccoons, trolls, ogres, and pigeons were appearing more often in responses. What started as a strange but mostly harmless language quirk became a useful example of how AI training can accidentally reward and spread unusual b

BMO is expanding its technology ambitions with a new enterprise wide initiative focused on artificial intelligence and quantum computing, highlighting how seriously major banks are treating the future of innovation. The bank has launched the BMO Institute for Applied Artificial Intelligence & Quantum, a new organization that will oversee AI innovation, application, governance, and the development of quantum capabilities across the business. BMO says the institute is meant to

CoLab’s multimillion-dollar artificial intelligence partnership with Bombardier Inc. represents a major advancement in the application of AI within aerospace engineering and manufacturing, demonstrating how the technology is increasingly being embedded into real industrial operations rather than remaining in experimental stages. Announced in April 2026, the agreement focuses on deploying CoLab’s engineering-focused AI systems across Bombardier’s business jet design and produc

Meta is reportedly developing an AI version of Mark Zuckerberg that could interact with employees, answer questions, give feedback, and potentially attend meetings in his place. The digital clone is said to be trained on Zuckerberg’s voice, image, mannerisms, tone, and years of public statements so employees can still feel connected to the founder even when he is not physically present. For a company with nearly 79,000 workers across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Reality

Google is significantly expanding its Workspace suite with new artificial intelligence features designed to transform everyday office work into a more automated and assistant-driven experience. Announced at Google Cloud Next 2026, the updates introduce deeper AI integration across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and other Workspace tools, aiming to reduce repetitive administrative work and allow employees to focus more on analysis, creativity, and decision-making. The company fra

OpenAI has launched a major expansion of ChatGPT with the introduction of workspace agents, a system designed to move artificial intelligence beyond simple conversational assistance into fully autonomous, task-executing tools for organizations. Announced on April 22, 2026, the update allows teams to create shared AI agents that can manage complex, multi-step workflows across departments while operating within defined organizational permissions, controls, and security framewor

Google is making a bigger play for developers and creators with a new update to Google AI Studio. The company has announced that Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers now get higher usage limits in AI Studio, along with access to Nano Banana Pro and Gemini Pro models. The goal is to make it easier for people to move from an idea to a working application in minutes, while keeping costs more predictable. For users who have already exhausted the free tier, the update creates a sim

Apple is entering a major new chapter. After 15 years as CEO, Tim Cook will step down later this year, and longtime Apple executive John Ternus will take over on September 1. The change is not just a routine leadership handoff. It reflects a pivotal moment for Apple as artificial intelligence becomes one of the biggest forces shaping the future of technology. For a company built on defining major product categories, the pressure is now on to show what its AI era will look lik

New research is raising a striking possibility in artificial intelligence: emotionally charged conversations may shape how AI systems behave, even if those systems do not literally feel emotions. Across recent commentary and research from Anthropic, experts argue that large language models can develop internal representations of emotion concepts that influence their decisions, preferences, and outputs. This does not mean chatbots experience emotions the way humans do, but it

Meta has unveiled a new artificial intelligence model called Muse Spark, marking its first major AI release since the company reorganized its strategy and made a multibillion dollar push to catch up with rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The new model is being presented as an important turning point for Meta after the disappointing rollout of its earlier Llama 4 models, which failed to gain strong traction with developers. Now, with Alexandr Wang leading the company’

OpenAI is urging governments and businesses to start preparing now for a future shaped by far more powerful artificial intelligence, arguing that the shift could transform work, public policy, and the economy itself. In a new policy paper, the company says AI may soon complete projects that currently take people months, potentially reshaping how organizations operate, how knowledge is produced, and how people find meaning and opportunity in their careers. At the center of Ope

Bluesky is taking a new step into artificial intelligence with the launch of Attie, a standalone app designed to help users shape their social media experience in a more personal way. Unveiled at the company’s Atmosphere conference, Attie is not another social platform but an AI assistant built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude, the app allows users to create custom feeds by simply typing what they want in natural language, turning feed building into som

The publishing world is facing a growing problem that feels both immediate and unsettling: books suspected of being written with artificial intelligence are already slipping into the market, and many in the industry are not confident they can stop it. That anxiety exploded with the controversy surrounding Shy Girl , a horror novel by Mia Ballard that was first self published in February 2025, later released in the UK in November 2025, and then set for a US publication before

Big Tech has started telling a very specific story about layoffs: artificial intelligence is making companies leaner, faster, and less dependent on human labour. In recent months, firms including Amazon, Meta, Pinterest, and Atlassian have linked job cuts to AI driven productivity gains, while executives such as Mark Zuckerberg have framed 2026 as a turning point for how work will fundamentally change. The message is simple and powerful. AI is no longer just a tool for experi

Manus was once one of the most talked about AI startups in China, celebrated for building general purpose AI agents that could act like digital employees and handle tasks such as research, automation, travel planning, stock analysis, and even job candidate screening with minimal prompting. Its rapid rise made it a symbol of China’s growing AI ambitions, but the company’s latest chapter shows just how politically charged the global AI race has become. What began as a startup s
