A Harvard Business School working paper analyzing nearly all U.S. job postings from 2019 to 2025 is the most rigorous accounting yet of generative AI's labor market impact. The headline numbers are striking - but three separate research teams find reasons for both alarm and restraint.
A research preview unveiled at NVIDIA GTC shows HD video generated in under 100 milliseconds, a latency drop so sharp it changes what video AI is, not just how fast it runs. The creative and safety implications are profound.
Global AI spending is on track to hit $2.52 trillion in 2026, yet 95% of task-specific enterprise deployments deliver zero measurable P&L impact. The money is going where the cameras are pointed, not where the returns are.
The White House has released a sweeping legislative blueprint that would strip states of authority to regulate AI development, handing the industry a single, minimally burdensome federal standard. The move is the culmination of a year-long campaign to consolidate AI governance in Washington - but getting Congress to actually pass it is another matter.
OpenAI's new GPT-5.4 mini and nano models complete the GPT-5.4 family, targeting agentic workflows where speed and cost matter more than raw capability. Mini nearly matches flagship benchmark scores at a third of the price; nano goes further, enabling economically viable mass-scale deployments.
Mistral's new Forge platform lets enterprises train AI models from scratch on proprietary data. But the deeper ambition isn't customization - it's making domain-trained models the reliable foundation for enterprise AI agents.
