A report co-authored by Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, two of the “godfathers” of modern AI, published on September 28, warns governments to prepare for what the authors call an AI “intelligence explosion,” according to a report by The Guardian.
The authors are concerned that AI systems could soon begin improving themselves without human intervention, accelerating development faster than governments can respond. READ MORE
HR professionals are all too familiar with the concept of job candidates ghosting them during the hiring process,but the same behavior from employers can be just as disruptive and impact the long-term employer brand.
A new report from Aerotek—a provider of workplace solutions for manufacturing, logistics, construction, aviation, facilities and maintenance—asked job seekers which factors have had the biggest impact on their job search over the past year. The top factor, cited by 44%, was employer ghosting, far outpacing others like a lack of human interaction, AI tools and application fatigue. READ MORE
America's shortage of skilled trades workers is straining homebuilding, infrastructure and a growing wave of commercial projects, as the industry struggles to bring younger workers into careers such as plumbing, electrical work and HVAC.
Home Builders Institute (HBI) President and CEO Ed Brady joined FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone on "Mornings with FOX Business" to discuss the skilled labor shortage and the need to expand training opportunities for young people and transitioning service members. READ MORE
Instinct has managed to turn a tiny team into a huge AI company, reaching a $10B valuation while still in early access and building an agent designed to handle the messy, mundane tasks of everyday life.
The company said Monday it raised an additional $1B from Sequoia Capital, Benchmark Capital, and Coatue. Instinct has just 14 employees, making the size of its valuation particularly striking relative to its workforce. READ MORE
A promotion brings greater responsibility, higher expectations from upper management, and the need to demonstrate your ability to handle a new role. You earn opportunities for professional development and career growth, which are some of its biggest advantages. Still, it can mean increased stress, more pressure, less freedom to act casually, and the challenge of earning respect while maintaining fairness. And sometimes, relationships with colleagues start to change. That's exactly what happened to the employee in today's story. His coworker's rise to team lead didn't just change their workplace dynamic; it also transformed a friendship he thought would last. READ MORE
Leaders of major AI firms told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that the technology calls for heightened vigilance, with Anthropic's CEO pledging to slow down where needed to ensure the safety of new releases.
"This moment calls for extreme care," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in New York at an emergency meeting of the 15-member council. READ MORE
The people have spoken, and they're curious about A.I. agents. Meta's new app, Muse, is No. 1 on the App Store. There's a shift at play. Most of the people using ChatGPT are asking it to do things that remain right in front of them. Answer this question, draft this text, or do something else right here in the app. Muse is meant as something different: a robot that performs tasks for you across the internet. Book a haircut, order DoorDash, get a bunch of supplies for my party. Muse does it on your behalf. It's a mass-marketed, mobile-friendly version of the machine-as-person work that power users are already doing with Claude and ChatGPT on computers. READ MORE
Never before have leaders had access to so much knowledge about how to lead. Yet too often, they keep learning instead of acting on what they already know.
For years, we've accepted the idea that better leadership begins with closing the knowledge gap. Read another book. Attend another leadership retreat. READ MORE
You'll probably recognize this person. Technically exceptional, deeply knowledgeable and trusted with the company's most important work. Whenever a difficult challenge arises, they're the person everyone counts on to solve it.
Then they're promoted into a leadership role and something changes. They begin to create problems for the people around them. They might interrupt, overcorrect or take over. They may overlook others' contributions or communicate in ways that leave team members feeling diminished. Eventually there's fallout: Talented employees stop speaking up, avoid them or leave the team altogether. READ MORE
Jobs that AI was supposed to replace are making a comeback, but mostly for senior workers, not the new graduates who trained for them.
Indeed job postings for software developers fell 73% from their February 2022 peak to February 2025, a slide that began nine months before OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot launched, according to an Investopedia analysis of Indeed data. But over the past year, postings for the most AI-exposed jobs have rebounded faster than those for less AI-exposed positions. READ MORE
Most significant decisions in large organizations follow the same sequence. A small group works the problem, reaches a defensible answer, and builds a communication plan. The decision is announced, explained and reinforced. Then it meets resistance the room did not anticipate, and the resistance is diagnosed as a communication failure. The response is more communication. READ MORE
The stress of job hunting crosses generational lines, but Gen Z is doing things a bit differently. Most of Gen Z is either just entering adulthood or has been there for some time. They are the first generation not to grow up with many analog developmental milestones, such as answering a house phone or asking strangers for help reading a map. These are all things that help develop social skills that can be used in other settings.
A recent survey from Resumetemplates.com reveals a shocking trend. According to the resume-building website, of the 831 job seekers aged 18-23 surveyed, "77% say they have brought a parent to a job interview when they were job searching. About 13% say they always did, and 24% say they often did." READ MORE
Millennials are feeling insecure about their jobs, and they're piling on alternatives to traditional careers to build their own safety nets.
They're the largest generation in the workforce and are taking on multiple income streams, skills training, and other jobs outside their primary work to feel more secure — what Glassdoor terms "stability stacking." This comes as multiple job-holders are increasingly well-educated, middle-class earners, indicating that labor market instability is plaguing the generation that should be in their prime working years.

Buy the platform, implement the modules, migrate the data, and performance management will finally work the way it’s supposed to. That’s the implicit pitch behind a large share of enterprise software spending, and it’s also, according to a growing body of research, one of the more reliable ways to spend a great deal of money without changing very much at all. The purchase order is easy to sign. The harder, less visible work of getting an organization to change how it plans, reviews and acts on performance is where most of these efforts quietly stall.

Elon Musk's SpaceX has been talking, internally, about buying the leftover customer files of startups that already went under. Not licensing data from companies that are still operating and can say no. Buying the digital estate of companies that no longer exist to say anything at all.
The discussions are happening inside SpaceXAI, the artificial intelligence division born in February when SpaceX merged with xAI. People familiar with the talks told Bloomberg they're informal and might go nowhere. But the idea makes sense from the perspective of an AI lab racing for the frontier. READ MORE
Earth’s orbit is starting to get a little crowded. Ten years ago, there were around 1,500 satellites in orbit. There are over 15,000 today. Plus roughly 31,000 total objects being tracked when you take space junk into account.
That’s where Adam Kall and Troy Morris come in. Their startup, KMI space, is building a spaceship that can both physically de-orbit debris and move other satellites in orbit around. Their design, called REACCH, is inspired by nature—it uses appendages that I can only describe as tentacles, complete with gecko-inspired pads to hold onto objects. READ MORE
Humanoid robots will be able to complete most general-purpose tasks from verbal instructions as soon as next year, although becoming useful around the house will take much longer, said the head of a leading Chinese company developing robot brains.
After impressive hardware advances that allow Chinese humanoids to sprint, dance and do backflips on command, robot firms are increasingly focusing on the software that determines robots' intelligence and enables them to perform more economically productive tasks, a field known as "embodied AI."

In May 2025, Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, said artificial intelligence could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, pushing unemployment higher than 10 percent.
More than a year later, even as A.I. models have made leaps that prompted Mr. Amodei to warn of “catastrophic” consequences for humanity if the current pace of development goes unchecked, the unemployment rate remains low. In fact, it’s fallen, to 4.1 percent in August. So is A.I., despite the doomsaying, having no impact on the labor market after all? READ MORE
When Mikko Lee walked into an Abbott laboratory this year as a newly minted associate scientist, she was closing a loop that had taken 13 years to draw. She first stepped into the organization at age 10, in 2013, as a participant in its Young Scientist Program. Two internships and a biological sciences degree later, she is now part of Abbott's Graduate Trainee program at its nutrition research and development site in Singapore.
For talent leaders, her story is more than a feel-good arc. It is a working illustration of a question employers in Singapore can no longer defer: If the country needs a bigger, more diverse STEM workforce, when does the hiring actually begin? READ MORE
People laid off from their roles due to a corporate refocusing on AI could soon find themselves rehired – or at least, their former roles being advertised, new Gartner research has claimed.
It predicts that by 2027, 75% of organizations who expected to make cost savings by focusing on AI productivity over human endeavor will be overtaken by companies who reinvested those savings in modernization and training. READ MORE
