AI taking entry-level jobs is a 'when,' not an 'if.' But in venture capital, 70% of the decision is reading the founder and team-and that's something AI can't do. That simple breakdown , 70% people, 30% product-flips the usual narrative about finance. For decades, finance was defined by numbers. Analysts lived and died by the spreadsheets. Today, AI can run discounted cash flows, parse a term sheet, and size a market faster than any junior associate.

The title business is very relationship driven and many local title company owners have this fear that the industry will be disrupted in a way that hurts these local relationships, Natalia Karayaneva, the CEO of Propy, said. These companies want to be more efficient and we want the local relationships they have, so these acquisitions are a win for everyone.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. ( NYSE: GS) has made it plain that it will start to cull its workforce based on the ability of some artificial intelligence (AI) programs to do what humans do better than humans. However, the AI-based decisions are not entirely about AI advantages. The bank has always been known for ruthless management. It has asked executives to find "underperformers." This could affect about 1,000 people this year.

Vodafone has chosen Ericsson as its exclusive radio access network (RAN) supplier across Ireland, the Netherlands and Portugal, in a five-year deal that the comms tech provider says marks one of the most significant network modernisation programmes in Europe, redefining network performance, automation and sustainability. In addition to becoming Vodafone's sole RAN supplier in the aforementioned territories, the partnership will also see Ericsson act as a major partner in Germany, Romania and Egypt.

The whole thing works like this: exhausted job seekers upload their résumé and format their personal info. Once up and running, they're presented with various gigs one by one, which they can swipe left to reject, or right to apply - just like a dating app. When a user swipes right, Sorce's "AI agent" navigates to the company's website and applies on their behalf.

AI automation engineer sounds like a vague title, so here's the job, plainly: I embed with a team (HR, in my case), spot opportunities to enhance the team's work, and build AI-powered workflows that jump on those opportunities. The goal is to create measurable improvements that free my teammates up for creativity, strategy, and connection. I think we'll be seeing this title pop up more and more as time goes on.

"I'm actually hiring more new grads-now, they're largely new grad PhDs-but more new grads than ever before,"

The "lumpenproletariat," according to " The Communist Manifesto," is "the social scum, that passively rotting mass thrown off by the lowest layers of the old society." Lower than proletariat workers, the lumpenproletariat includes the indigent and the unemployable, those cast out of the workforce with no recourse, or those who can't enter it in the first place, such as young workers in times of economic depression.

I also plan on retiring someday, and I'm guessing I'm not the only senior developer who plans on doing that. In fact, I feel very confident saying that 100% of senior developers will, one way or another, stop coding at some point. Now, math is hard, I know, but it seems incandescently obvious to me that to be a senior developer, you must first be a junior developer, and if there are no junior developers, then we'll eventually run out of senior developers.

The pressure is mounting on business leaders to harness AI to make work faster, cheaper, and more efficient. That may thrill investors, but for employees, it could mean fewer jobs around the world. At the $320 billion software giant SAP, there will likely be a need for fewer engineers to deliver the same-or even greater-output, according to the company's CFO Dominik Asam.

Artificial intelligence has changed my business entirely. The majority of my business is ecommerce-based, and AI has allowed me to automate many of the most time-consuming tasks. This shift hasn't just saved me time; it's made daily operations more efficient and enabled smarter, data-driven decisions that have elevated both productivity and customer satisfaction. In the early days, I spent nearly every waking hour creating products and listing them online.

Move it one way and it disappears, move it the other and it clutters my high-priority list. Working on dozens of projects like this, manual tagging quickly becomes a time sink that's inconsistent and error-prone. AI project management tools now solve this by auto-tagging tasks based on content, context, and even conversations. Categories stay accurate, searches are faster, and your team can finally focus on the work instead of admin.

Veed.io is great for social videos. It lets you edit fast and auto-adds subtitles. However, if you require storage, team collaboration, auto-resizing, batch editing, or support for YouTube tutorials, webinars, and podcast clips, you'll need to consider more advanced video editing tools. Let's look at some of the best Veed.io alternatives that overcome these limitations when you edit videos. We share the key features, pricing, and limitations to help you make the best choice.

iBuying was never out of vogue, Rabois said, addressing comments about Redfin's and Zillow's exits from the space. It was out of vogue because Redfin and Zillow didn't know how to do it. We were always successful. We minted free cash flow every year I was involved in the company. However, it's very complicated and very difficult to do iBuying well, but the value proposition of certainty, transactional speed is incredibly compelling to Americans.

The platform's three-pillar approach-Connect (embedded finance network), Intelligence (workflow optimization), and Automate (AI-powered workforce optimization)-has enabled partners to reduce operational resources while achieving faster speed to funding. With over $1 billion worth of offers made annually through their platforms, Lendflow's modular architecture allows partners to use individual components or scale comprehensively, supported by 50+ live AI agents that automate manual lending processes from document extraction to applicant communications.

Arguments about how we should consider some measure of accommodation (to fascism, to AI) abound, and some are even reasonable-sounding. These are powerful forces with their hands around the throat of our futures. Certainly no one can be blamed for doing what it takes to nudge those hands back a few millimeters so you can get enough air to breathe.

Zown's model aims to overhaul the way real estate agents work by introducing AI and specialization. Most of the time that a Realtor spends is actually on lead generation, lead nurturing, cold calling, knocking on doors rather than negotiating or getting deals done. So, he says, Zown divides the agent role into separate functions. One is, when it comes to educating the buyer about the market Then you have an agent who actually shows you properties.

Our perspective is that the holders of risk are the beneficiaries of lower costs and reduced risk, but it takes the whole ecosystem to participate. One thing about the Fannie Mae survey is the shift in business priorities from cost cutting to streamlining. Cost cutting and streamlining are related, but cost cutting carries a negative connotation does it mean cutting service, quality or jobs? For years, there was resistance and even regulatory hesitation.

Not long ago, building an app meant endless spreadsheets, coding, and clunky tools. Today, 70% of new apps are expected to be built with low-code or no-code tools-nearly triple the 2020 rate. Modern AI platforms allow anyone, coder or not, to create powerful automated workflows. But with so many options, finding the right fit isn't simple. You need a tool that matches your team's skills, integrates with your stack, and delivers real value.

The way most industry leaders think about international ecommerce has radically changed over the last few years, primarily because of the emergence and widespread availability of AI tools. However, automation isn't the only technology shaping the industry. Various other technologies are impacting consumer behavior and the quality of the shopping experience that online businesses can offer. A DHL study revealed that 59% of shoppers purchase items from retailers outside their home country worldwide.

Peeler said, compressed weeks of talent acquisition work into minutes by automating job posting, candidate screening and interview scheduling tasks. That really informed my thinking around how AI could be disruptive beyond smaller point solutions by stringing things together.

In July 2025, Perplexity launched Comet, a groundbreaking AI-powered web browser designed from the ground up for this era of intelligent automation. Comet integrates intelligence at its core, transforming browsing sessions into seamless, conversational workflows.

Microsoft chief commercial officer Judson Althoff stated that the company has saved over $500 million through AI automation in 2024, specifically within its call centers.

In the near future, AI agents will handle most computer-based tasks for us, such as browsing websites, filling out forms, booking tickets, and more.
