‘I don’t need help’: Meet some of the AI resisters who smell their own extinction
More American workers are experimenting with artificial intelligence in their jobs, but skepticism is still widespread. New Gallup polling finds that while more employees are using AI frequently in their work, there’s been an uptick in alarm that new technologies will replace their jobs. Many workers who are not using AI say they prefer to work without it, have ethical oppositions to the technology or worry about data privacy. The poll, conducted in February, poin...

New drones are giving Ukraine a battlefield advantage and ravaging Russia’s oil industry
Ukraine’s constant innovation in drone technology is giving its military an edge on the battlefield, dealing major blows to Russia’s army and economy. While Russia invaded Ukraine four years ago with superior numbers, that advantage has since been neutralized by Western aid and the emergence of new drones, which now account for the vast majority of casualties. Both sides have scrambled to deploy upgraded versions, but Ukraine appears to be innovating faster and has recently gained...
‘It tastes like a Twinkie’: Major tech podcaster Kara Swisher says AI is overhyped for one simple reason—humans don’t like it
Artificial intelligence has quickly become the defining technology of the moment—promising breakthroughs from curing diseases to making space travel more routine, while also raising fears of widespread job disruption. But Kara Swisher isn’t convinced the technology will live up to the hype. On a recent episode of her podcast, On with Kara Swisher, the veteran tech journalist argued that AI may be hitting a ceiling—not just because of technical limitations, but because of human resistance. “Hum...

When AI sells to AI, brands win on data and identity
Personal AI use is collapsing the customer decision-making process into a single conversation, and most brands aren’t ready for it. The window of influence that once spanned dozens of touchpoints is shrinking to seconds. What’s more, AI is now selling to AI. Brands themselves are using the technology to market to consumer AI intermediaries before they can ultimately sell to the people behind them. So, what can brands do today to effectively influence customer decisions in this new era? ...

I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. Here’s what I had to unlearn to build a $1 billion business
Family-business instincts are invaluable — until they become limiting. They teach resilience, loyalty, pragmatism, and financial discipline. But they do not necessarily teach you how to scale leadership beyond yourself, build for global markets, or invest aggressively ahead of returns. This is further amplified in Switzerland, where there is a cultural bias to stay humble and focus on what’s realistic. These are clear strengths. Yet global technology markets often reward – and require – a differ...

Jamie Dimon warns of growing crypto competition in annual letter: ‘We need to roll out our own blockchain technology’
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has long been among the crypto sector’s most notable skeptics. Dimon vowed in 2017 to fire any JPMorgan trader who traded bitcoin and has called the oldest cryptocurrency a “fraud” and a “pet rock.” More recently, though, Dimon has become more open to the technology and, this week, he acknowledged that blockchain-based companies are now among his bank’s competitors. In his annual shareholder letter published on Monday, Dimon said “a whole new set of competitor...
TE Connectivity CEO: the real promise of AI is long-term transformation, not short-term efficiency gains

‘I’d love to keep that a secret, Mr. President’: Trump’s boasts about Iran rescue flummox top advisors
The United States relied on dozens of aircraft, hundreds of personnel, secret CIA technology and a dose of subterfuge to rescue a two-man fighter jet crew downed deep inside Iran, a risky mission that President Donald Trump and his top defense aides detailed Monday. U.S. forces rescued the pilot within hours of the F-15E Strike Eagle going down late Thursday, surging helicopters, midair refuelers and fighter aircraft deep into Iran after confirming his location, Trump sai...

OpenAI says the world needs to rethink everything from the tax system to the length of the work day in order to prepare for the wrenching changes of superintelligence technology—the point at which AI systems are capable of outperforming the smartest humans. On Monday, in a 13-page paper titled Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age, OpenAI said it wanted to to “kick start” the conversation with a “slate of people-first policy ideas.” How much faith to put in Open...
