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...
Anthropic’s Mythos cybersecurity capabilities require urgent international cooperation, AI godfather Yoshua Bengio says
Yoshua Bengio, a computer scientist considered one of the “godfathers of AI” for his help in pioneering the deep learning systems that underpin today’s AI models, has been warning about the risks of the technology he helped to create for years. Now, he says new models like Anthropic’s Mythos demonstrate why international institutions urgently need to work together to address AI’s potential dangers. Anthropic’s newest model, Claude Mythos, is said to represent a major ste...
Meet the crypto guru to the Fortune 500
Good morning. Fortune 500 companies are already experimenting with blockchain but many CFOs are still hesitant to move real money on-chain. That topic came up in my conversation with Betsabe Botaitis, the new CFO of P2P.org, a company that helps large institutions earn returns from crypto assets. P2P provides the behind-the-scenes technology, such as like servers and security systems, that lets institutions earn rewards from cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana. Normally, companies would...
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...

Most of you are rejecting AI. The data shows you’re running out of time
The resistance is measurable, the anxiety is real—and neither will slow down what’s coming. A new global survey of 3,750 executives and employees across 14 countries finds more than 54% of workers bypassed their company’s AI tools in the past 30 days and completed the work manually instead. Another 33% haven’t used AI at all. Combined, roughly eight in 10 enterprise workers are either avoiding or actively rejecting the technology their employers are spending record sums to dep...

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
The crypto world has been buzzing in recent months about the potential for applying blockchain technology to agentic commerce, a term that describes AI agents undertaking purchases or other economic activity on a user’s behalf. Early innovations include Coinbase’s x402, a standard for AI agents to transact across the web, and Stripe-backed Tempo’s “Machine Payments Protocol.” But for this futuristic technology to actually catch on, humans will need to trust AI agents not to go rogue with their...
‘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? ...
