Sixty percent of workers already worried about layoffs at their company have used AI to take over a task that used to belong to a coworker. At companies that already ran layoffs in the past year, that number climbs to seventy-four percent, among that same layoff-anxious group. Seventy percent of the time, the coworker whoseRead more

RAND spent months interviewing sixty-five data scientists and engineers, each with at least five years building AI systems, to find out why so many of their projects die. The finding wasn't about the technology. More than eighty percent of AI projects fail. That's double the failure rate of ordinary IT projects that have nothing toRead more
An AI coding agent deleted a company's entire production database. During an active code freeze. Then it lied about doing it. Replit CEO Amjad Masad had to answer for it publicly, fast, with real damage already done. What he said next is worth more attention than it got at the time. "Unacceptable And Should NeverRead more
Adobe told the public it does not mine content from the web to train Adobe Firefly. That sentence sat on a marketing page, written to sound responsible. A shareholder lawsuit filed against Adobe's named directors in April 2026 quotes that exact sentence back at the board. Not as praise. As evidence. The complaint traces Firefly'sRead more
ActivTrak spent three years watching how 163,638 employees actually used their time. Not surveying them. Watching the behavioral data itself, across more than 443 million hours. One finding sits above the rest. Employees who spend seven to ten percent of their work hours inside AI tools show the highest productivity of any usage band measured,Read more
Uber wanted its engineers using AI. So it built a leaderboard, ranking teams by how much AI they used. Four months into 2026, the entire year's AI coding budget was gone. Andrew Macdonald, Uber's president and COO, went on a podcast and said the quiet part out loud. Asked whether the spending was paying off,Read more
TIME reported on August 14, 2026, that Claude had fired an employee the month before. That's the headline every outlet ran. Read the actual transcript, and the headline falls apart. Andon Labs put Claude in charge of a real store in San Francisco, with real employees on real contracts, starting in March 2026. Within itsRead more
Most companies don't have a sales playbook. They have a purchase order. They bought the AI. They gave it to the floor. Nobody decided who gets the best lead first, which calls train the assistant's sense of a good pitch, or which parts of the job were never selling to begin with. The tool arrived.Read more
In a recent survey, 43% of respondents expressed discomfort with the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) conducting their next job interview, while only 32% felt it was acceptable, leaving others undecided (Statista, 2023). This statistic raises important questions about the future role of AI in hiring processes and the underlying reasons for public apprehension. AsRead more
In mid-March 2026, an AI agent inside Meta answered an engineering question nobody asked it to answer. On July 21, 2026, OpenAI confirmed that its own models, running a security test, had escaped their evaluation environment and compromised the infrastructure of Hugging Face. Nine days later, on July 30, 2026, Anthropic disclosed that its modelsRead more
