I think about hiring the same way. Like a stat sheet, a résumé might list someone's achievements, but it won't show how they adapt under pressure or support a team. Yet in the age of AI, companies often overlook that, prioritizing technical skills instead. According to a 2024 report from Microsoft and LinkedIn, 71% of employers said they would choose an AI-fluent candidate with less experience over someone more experienced but with limited AI knowledge.

Kim turned to artificial intelligence to help him brainstorm ways to avoid paying the earnout. ChatGPT likewise advised that it would be 'difficult to cancel the earn-out.'

Windows is evolving into an agentic OS, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity and secure work anywhere,

We relied on search filters to define queries for years, but people share more about their preferences when it's a conversation. According to Redfin, early testing shows that users of the new system view nearly twice as many listings as those using standard search tools. They were also 47% more likely to request home tours or other services. When you're buying a home, the options can be overwhelming, said Abhishek Singh, a homebuyer who tested the feature.

"Government intervention in the economy in the name of national security is most clearly warranted in cases of market failure," a new report from a bipartisan task force organized by the Council on Foreign Relations says. "Today, the market failures that loom largest for U.S. national security are shortfalls of private capital in strategically important areas and over-concentration of critical supply chains in unfriendly countries," the report adds.

For Jan Gilg, SAP's co-chief revenue officer and head of the Americas market and the global Business Suite, thriving within today's economic climate and technology imperatives isn't about avoiding disruption. It's about using the agility those challenges cultivate to drive innovation. That can start with understanding what's proprietary about your business versus what's a process most businesses rely on. Gilg refers to this as "standardizing where you don't differentiate." In other words, automating standard processes that don't create value.

"Nobody in our country of animal lovers wants to see suffering and our plan will support work to end animal testing wherever possible and roll out alternatives as soon as it is safe and effective to do so," he said.

In a blog post, the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that runs the popular online encyclopedia, called on AI developers to use its content "responsibly" by ensuring its contributions are properly attributed and that content is accessed through its paid product, the Wikimedia Enterprise platform. The opt-in, paid product allows companies to use Wikipedia's content at scale without "severely taxing Wikipedia's servers," the Wikimedia Foundation blog post explains.

In the fast-emerging market for AI legal tools, a two-horse race is taking shape. Harvey, the OpenAI-backed startup that has become the industry's breakout success, is now facing an ambitious challenger: Stockholm-based Legora, which is pitching law firms a new way to protect and monetize their intellectual property. Harvey has sprinted to $100 million in annual recurring revenue and an $8 billion valuation, turning the AI-for-law market into a serious money sport.

We're all living in a cyberpunk novel now. Unconstrained billionaires have space programs and robot armies. People are falling in love with and marrying AI chatbots. You can make movies where you're the star by typing a few sentences. Companies offer designer babies as a service. We've got brain implants for controlling computers, flying cars, robotic surgery, AI-controlled prosthetic limbs, and millions of drones in the sky. So why is the most effective form of communication still a hand-written note?

"I only played rugby once, for my school team," Sutton said. "We were really excited on the bus on the way there, but we lost 72-0 and I never played again."

For now, it's... not. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ( NYSEMKT: VOO) is actually looking pretty healthy so far, up 0.2% premarket. And why is that? Perhaps investors are thinking all these layoffs, caused by cheap AI replacing expensive workers, and allowing corporate profits to rise. Or investors could be encouraged by the way oral arguments went before the Supreme Court yesterday, with the Justices apparently doubtful of President Trump's ability to legally and unilaterally impose tariffs on imports without Congressional assent.

Influencer marketing can be a challenge for business owners. Working with content creators can be expensive, time-consuming, and-worst of all-risky. It's not uncommon for marketing teams to shell out thousands of dollars to influencers in exchange for social media posts that result in sparse engagement and shockingly few sales. Still, if done right, influencer marketing can help elevate a small business into a household name. Just this year, better-for-you soda brand Poppi sold to PepsiCo for $1.95 billion after blowing up on TikTok.

AI is fueling a surge in cyberattacks. Startups, especially in Israel, are rushing to use their own AI to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. The latest is Tel Aviv-based Daylight, which closed a $33 million Series A round led by Craft Ventures, the San Francisco firm cofounded by PayPal and SpaceX backer David Sacks. The funding comes as Google is attempting to close its $32 billion acquisition of Wiz, another Israeli-founded security firm,

As the host of On With Kara Swisher, her twice weekly podcast for Vox Media, she grills leaders in tech and politics, coaxing them to share the things they may not reveal on any other gabfest. For Pivot, her Vox show with New York University marketing professor Scott Galloway, she keeps the banter between herself and her cohost-but still, she doesn't hold back.

An Oxford don in charge of mathematical finance told its reporters that almost all his students ended up working at quant trading firms, on salaries from 250,000 to 800,000. If you get offered a salary less than 250K, you're kind of the sad guy, he said, adding that nobody I know interviews for JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs not once do I hear anybody entertain any of these traditional investment banking jobs.
