Economists didn’t see that coming. Behind every statistic is someone who got a notice about restructuring or a meeting invite that turned out to be a layoff conversation. That reality means more competition for every open role.But while AI is often blamed for job disruption, tools like G

  OpenClaw mania is taking off in a big way in China. The GitHub repo has received more stars than Linux, and meetups have made way to a full-on OpenClaw store in China. To say people are excited about it is an understatement. While Claw-mania consumes the consumer, it’s the enterprise AI’s revenge this week, and to say everyone wants their own version of OpenClaw for the enterprise is an understatement. First of all…Microsoft just launched Copilot Cowork, a feature bu

  Something unusual is happening in UK support services: survivors of organised and ritual abuse are picking up the phone and saying something few people expected to hear: “I was referred to you by ChatGPT.”
  That does not mean an AI chatbot has become a therapist, or that it is replacing trained support workers. But support groups say it is becoming a first stop for some survivors who have struggled for years, and sometimes decades, to say what happened out loud.

• TI and Nvidia Give Humanoid Robots Better Vision

  10-03-2026 10:27 via eweek.com
  Texas Instruments (TI) and Nvidia are teaming up on a sensor fusion system designed to make humanoid robots safer and more reliable outside the lab. The idea is straightforward: combine radar and AI computing so robots can better detect obstacles that cameras alone may miss, especially in complex real-world settings.
  One of the biggest challenges in robotics is not getting a robot to move, but getting it to move safely around people, furniture, glare, dust, and reflective surfaces. Humanoid robo

This transition forces finance teams to examine who owns

Anthropic published a major labor market study showing AI could theoretically handle 94% of computer science tasks… but is only being used for 33%.There’s been no spike in unemployment among highly exposed workers since late 2022. Meanwhile, Citadel Securities released a chart showing software engineering job postings are up 11% year-over-year.Wait, so AI ISN’T taking jobs? Not so fast.Buried in Anthropic’s own data: hiring of young wo
