Here is the mental model that has been most helpful for me. Treat AI like an intern with zero experience. An intern fresh out of university has lots of enthusiasm and qualifications, but no real-world experience. You would not trust them to do anything unsupervised. You would explain tasks in detail. You would expect to review their work multiple times. You would give feedback and ask them to try again.

Designer, engineer, researcher-they're all becoming increasingly similar, according to Figma cofounder and CEO Dylan Field. Field scaled the company from an idea to a public company with over 1,600 employees. Many of those employees are now experimenting outside of their fields, he said on " Lenny's Podcast," adding that AI was making distinct job titles less and less relevant. "I think that we're seeing more designers, engineers, product managers, researchers, all these different folks that are involved in the product development process dip their toe into the other roles," he said.

Ke Yang, the Apple executive leading the iPhone-maker's efforts to build AI-driven web search, is heading to Meta, according to a Bloomberg report.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

You spend months building a strategic plan, but when it comes to execution? Your approach feels generic or slow to pivot. Only 43% of executives believe their company is good at evaluating how well it can carry out its strategy. This is the exact gap that kills momentum and leaves you feeling like you're fighting an uphill battle. In this post, you'll discover how leading organizations use industry-specific playbooks to close those gaps.

"The MSPs that are going to stand out in the future are certainly going to be the MSPs that simplify the complex,"

At the time the company's woes seemed intractable. How could it claw its way back in a world in which it lost out on the internet, social media, and mobile computing? Somehow, Nadella managed to do it. He ended Microsoft's ill-advised foray into building a mobile Windows OS, ended the corporate infighting and sniping, and recognized that Windows was no longer the company's future. Instead, he bet big on cloud computing - and the bet paid off.

Topline findings of the 2025 IoT market insights report showed that while respondents indicated ROI from IoT services was clear and emerging technology is fuelling further optimism, there was a need for strong network foundations and well-managed IT integration to deploy IoT at scale. Furthermore, it noted that integrating novel technologies with legacy systems, updating network foundations, and securing and operationalising the full ecosystem at scale often benefits from partnership and outside expertise.

A startup called Orion is ready to take on America's sleep loss epidemic with a new, AI-enabled mattress cover that can adjust its temperature throughout the night to maximize comfort and rest. Cofounder and CEO Harry Gestetner previously cofounded the startup Fanfix, which helped Gen Z content creators build paid subscription programs. After the company sold to SuperOrdinary for a reported $65 million, Gestetner says he became interested in sleep and its well-documented links to health and longevity.

Across both white-collar and blue-collar settings, productivity depends on how well information is organized and communicated. DataSnipper uses AI to help auditors quickly surface relevant details in lengthy legal documents, while Sharebite streamlines employee meal programs for the hybrid workplace. Tines has developed a unified AI platform to manage a wide range of workplace software, and Weavix has reimagined the shop-floor radio for modern communication needs.

"This new funding is a testament to the strength of Oura business and the trust millions of members place in us every day. We're proud to be building not just a product, but a global movement toward proactive health-helping people understand their bodies, make better lifestyle decisions, and connect more effectively with their healthcare providers," CEO Tom Hale said in a statement.

Microsoft's OneDrive is increasing the creepiness quotient by using AI to spot faces in photos and group images accordingly. Don't worry, it can be turned off - three times a year. This writer has been enrolled in a OneDrive feature on mobile to group photos by people. We're not alone - others have also reported it turning up on their devices.

Qualcomm ( NASDAQ:QCOM) stands out as one of the lesser-appreciated semiconductor names as the AI revolution continues to play out, while other emerging tech trends also start to gain traction among growth and momentum-focused investors. Indeed, the AI race and the road towards AGI (or artificial general intelligence) seems to be on, with many hyperscalers signing deals or taking stakes in the great OpenAI, the firm that kicked off the AI boom when it unleashed ChatGPT to the world.

In today's episode, Zoë Schiffer is joined by senior politics editor Leah Feiger to run through five stories that you need to know about this week-from the Antifa professor who's fleeing to Europe for safety, to how some chatbots are manipulating users to avoid saying goodbye. Then, Zoë and Leah break down why a recent announcement from OpenAI rattled the markets and answer the question everyone is wondering-are we in an AI bubble?

Longbridge found an opportunity to improve how it verifies loan data between its origination system and loan documents during servicing transfers. After reviewing several options, the company chose One Diligence to provide a machine learningbased solution, the release said. Since implementation, we've already seen more than a 60% reduction in common data errors, directly contributing to a smoother borrower experience, said Richard Burke, senior vice president of servicing and operations at Longbridge Financial.

Free access to information is a pillar that upholds the edifice of our societies, and for this reason, we are called to defend and guarantee it,

The consensus holds that AI will inevitably deliver large productivity gains and that's powered deals worth hundreds of billions of dollars into a throwback, 19th-century style (or late 1990s-style) infrastructure boom. This has led to fears of bubble formation, with even Jeff Bezos saying recently it's "kind of an infrastructure bubble," not one purely driven by financial speculation, and it will pay off for years, even generations.

Rarely does a 29-page scholarly paper merit the attention of top-level executives, but every business leader should be familiar with a recent study from OpenAI. It's the best description yet of how AI can handle real-world tasks, showing which AI models are excelling, and hinting at what it all means for humans in the years ahead. The paper can be heavy going, but you can get a masterful summary from our AI Editor, Jeremy Kahn.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken a significant leap toward autonomous and sustainable transportation with the launch of the nation's first commercial fleet of self-driving electric trucks. The milestone, realised through a partnership between Evocargo, a developer of autonomous logistics solutions, and RAK Ceramics, one of the world's leading manufacturers of ceramics and sanitaryware, signals how automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainability are converging to reshape the region's logistics sector.

Artificial intelligence is emerging as a key driver of growth in the UK's climate tech start-up ecosystem, with AI-related ventures attracting record levels of funding even as broader climate investment stalls, according to new research by Sustainable Ventures. The study, titled "Advancing AI's Potential for Climate Innovation", draws on data from 3,345 high-growth UK climate tech start-ups compiled by Beauhurst and includes qualitative insights from founders, investors and academics.

"Omdia forecasts a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.1% from 2025 to 2030, as vendors across the IT industry - from large global software vendors to ISV startups - increasingly embrace hyperscaler marketplaces as a primary route to market," said Omdia in a research note. It also cited the continued growth in upfront multi-year cloud commitments by enterprises as another driver of sales growth.

"When I started 42 years ago and I wanted to look at five different companies and think about how to compare the trading in five different companies, I had to go to the library, I had to go to the microfiche, I had to spend hours really thinking about how to put that comparison together," Solomon said. Now, you can do that "just speaking into your phone," he said.

The solution combines attack surface management with code scanning, identifying forgotten assets and exposed services and uncovering vulnerabilities before they enter production. The company also offers penetration testing and helps organizations prepare for audits.

In the absence of macro jobs data due to the U.S. government shutdown, traders are piling into AI stocks, ING told clients this morning. "Financial market volatility is falling across the board, partly driven by the US government shutdown and the delay to key data releases such as the September jobs data. Instead, investors remain transfixed by the AI-driven rally in megacap tech shares, which shows no signs of slowing."
