‘They’re sweating’: Why Japanese giants are pouring money into Silicon Valley startups
Japan has long gone its own way on technology, even inspiring its own term, “Galapagos syndrome,” for products and services that thrive at home yet go nowhere abroad. Now, the country’s corporate giants are worried they’re about to miss another technology wave, and are writing big checks to make sure they don’t. On Tuesday, Pegasus Tech Ventures, a Silicon Valley-based investor, said it will quadruple the corporate venture fund it manages for Japanet, one of Japan’s largest ma...
Jensen Huang bans one-on-one meetings, and Airbnb’s Brian Chesky doesn’t use email—meet the CEOs with unconventional work-life rules
White-collar workers have fallen into the mundane rhythm of office life: checking an endless stream of emails, sitting through a barrage of meetings, and pushing through mental fatigue by week’s end. But some CEOs are rewriting norms of the corporate world, leading billion- and trillion-dollar companies on their own terms. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: no one-on-one meetings Huang, the cofounder and CEO of $4.8 trillion technology giant Nvidia, is trimming the fat from his work routine by priori...
OpenAI’s policy chief says AI companies ‘need to do a much better job’ talking about AI as industry leaders face personal attacks
Dario Amodei warned last May that AI could wipe out half of entry-level white collar jobs. Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman predicted the technology would automate most tasks of the entire white-collar workforce in a year to 18 months. And recently, a report from Anthropic mapped out exactly what Suleyman warned about, and what Elon Musk thinks will make work optional. The successive statements about AI’s transformative impact on labor may help justify the booming valuation of some AI compan...

Gen Z turning its back on AI isn’t irrational — it’s a verdict on everyone who failed them
America has a problem with young people and AI. Gen Z has looked clearly at what the AI revolution is doing to their lives and rendered a verdict: the institutions that were supposed to prepare them for this moment have failed, the employers that were supposed to hire them have vanished, and the government that was supposed to manage the transition has been absent without leave. That verdict is arriving in numbers that are hard to dismiss: The more young people engage with the technology, the w...

The org chart isn’t ready: How AI exposed the hidden crisis inside the American corporation
Something is breaking inside the American corporation. Not the balance sheet, not the brand, not the technology stack — those are mostly fine. What’s breaking is harder to see on a slide deck and harder to fix with a budget line: the unwritten rules, shared assumptions, and organizational muscle memory that tell people how to behave, what to say, who to listen to, and what happens when you get it wrong. Artificial intelligence didn’t create this tension. But it is making it impossib...
Nava raises $8.3 million in seed funding to keep AI financial agents from going off the rails
