Artificial intelligence has become one of the most powerful buzzwords in the modern business world, with companies across nearly every industry rushing to position themselves as part of the AI revolution. But as excitement around the technology continues to grow, so too does skepticism about how genuinely many businesses are using it. A growing number of communications professionals, journalists, and industry analysts are now warning about the rise of “AI washing,” a trend wh

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

Coinbase is cutting 14% of its workforce as CEO Brian Armstrong pushes the company to become leaner, faster, and more focused on artificial intelligence. The layoffs are expected to affect about 700 employees, based on the company’s reported workforce size of 4,951 at the end of 2025. Armstrong said the decision comes as Coinbase faces two major pressures at once: a weaker crypto market and the rapid rise of AI tools that are changing how companies operate. In a letter to emp

Atlassian, the Australian software company behind widely used collaboration tools like Jira, Confluence, and Trello, has announced a major restructuring that will eliminate about 1,600 jobs, roughly 10% of its global workforce. The layoffs are part of a broader effort by the company to shift its strategy toward artificial intelligence and strengthen its enterprise sales capabilities. While the move reflects a growing trend across the technology industry, it has sparked debate

Artificial intelligence is often framed as a looming job killer, but three recent takes suggest a more grounded reality: AI is more likely to reshape tasks and workplaces than erase work overnight, and the bigger question is who captures the gains from higher productivity. In the Toronto Star, business columnist David Olive argues that the fear is real but exaggerated, noting that Canadians regularly tell pollsters they expect widespread job replacement even though automation

OpenAI is reportedly asking third-party contractors to upload real work they have completed in past and current jobs as part of an effort to improve the quality of training data used for its AI models. According to reporting from Wired, OpenAI is working with a training data company called Handshake AI to collect authentic workplace materials created by contractors, rather than relying solely on synthetic or hypothetical examples. This initiative appears to reflect a broade

Artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it can already perform work equal to nearly 12% of the U.S. labor market, according to a new set of studies from MIT. Using a large scale simulation model called the Iceberg Index, researchers created a digital twin of the American workforce by mapping 151 million workers, their occupations, and more than 32,000 skills against what today’s AI tools can already do. The result shows that current systems have the technica
