• How Can I Protect Myself From Job Obsolescence Caused by AI? - Ray Schroeder, Inside Higher Ed
  We do not know just how, and how quickly, AI will roll out. However, a Gallup Poll released last week showed nearly one-quarter of American workers use AI at least a few times each week.

• The Skills Mismatch Economy: Insights from the Wharton-Accenture Skills Index - Knowledge at Wharton
  AI is accelerating the shift from a role-based labor market to a skills-based economy, sharpening the relevance of the gap between what workers signal and what employers actually reward. To bring clarity to this transition, Wharton and Accenture developed the Wharton-Accenture Skills Index (WAsX), a recurring, empirical benchmark designed to measure which skills matter, which […]
• An Agent Revolt: Moltbook Is Not A Good Idea - Amir Husain, Forbes
  Matt Schlicht, an AI entrepreneur with a curious artistic streak, launched Moltbook on Wednesday. It is a Reddit-style social network exclusively for AI agents. Humans can observe but cannot post. Over 37,000 agents have joined in less than a week. More than a million humans have visited to watch what happens when autonomous systems start […]
• Differences and Trends of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: A Comparative Bibliometric Analysis Between China and the International Community - Songhua Ma, et al; Dove press Open access to scientific and medical research
  This study is based on a comparison of two databases to reveal the hotspots and differences in artificial intelligence and medical education research between China and the international research community. It not only compensates for the time lag of existing research, but also proposes three major trends driven by artificial intelligence in the development of […]
• Measuring US workers’ capacity to adapt to AI-driven job displacement - Sam Manning, Tomás Aguirre, Mark Muro, and Shriya Methkupally; Brookings
  Existing measures of AI “exposure” overlook workers’ adaptive capacity—i.e., their varied ability to navigate job displacement. Accounting for these factors, around 70% of highly AI-exposed workers (26.5 million out of 37.1 million) are employed in jobs with a high average capacity to manage job transitions if necessary. At the same time, 6.1 million workers, primarily […]
• To save entry-level jobs from AI, look to the medical residency model - Molly Kinder, Brookings
  At the Davos World Economic Forum this week, the CEOs of two leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies issued a joint warning: Entry-level workers are about to feel AI’s impact. Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind said he expects AI to begin to impact junior-level jobs and internships this year, while Dario Amodei of Anthropic reaffirmed his […]
• As Wisconsin’s population ages, UW-Green Bay offers hundreds of courses for older adults - Beatrice Lawrence, WPR
  As a retired family doctor, 76-year-old Norm Schroeder knows a thing or two about how to live a healthy life. That’s why, for the last eight years, he’s been keeping his mind and body active by taking classes through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Lifelong Learning Institute. And he’s been encouraging others his age to […]
• Online Learning Works Best When Markets Lead, Not Governments. Project Kitty Hawk Shows Why. - Jenna Robinson, the Fulcrum
  North Carolina’s Project Kitty Hawk is a grand experiment. Can a government entity build an online program-management system that competes with private providers? With $97 million in taxpayer funding, the initiative seemed promising. But, despite good intentions, the project has been beset by difficulties and has been slow to grow. A state-chartered, university-affiliated online program […]
• McKinsey Quarterly: Digital Edition - Growth
  According to McKinsey research, nearly eight in ten organizations now use generative AI—but most have yet to see a meaningful impact on their bottom line. By combining autonomy, planning, memory, and integration, agentic AI has the potential to achieve what many hoped generative AI would: true business transformation through automation of complex processes. This issue’s […]
• Project Genie: Experimenting with infinite, interactive worlds - the Keyword, Google
  In August, we previewed Genie 3, a general-purpose world model capable of generating diverse, interactive environments. Even in this early form, trusted testers were able to create an impressive range of fascinating worlds and experiences, and uncovered entirely new ways to use it. The next step is to broaden access through a dedicated, interactive prototype […]
• The Biggest Trends in Online Learning for 2026 - Busines NewsWire
  Artificial intelligence is finally delivering on the promise of truly personalized education. The platforms you use now analyze how you learn, identify knowledge gaps, and automatically adjust content difficulty and pacing to match your needs. This goes way beyond simple adaptive quizzes.

• Gemini 4: 100+ Trillion Parameters, Autonomous AI, Real-Time Perception & the Future of Work - BitBiasedAI
  Gemini 4 marks a significant transition in artificial intelligence, moving from models that simply reason through problems to systems capable of autonomous action [02:30]. Unlike previous versions that were primarily reactive, Gemini 4 utilizes "Parallel Hypothesis Exploration" to test multiple solutions simultaneously, allowing it to be proactive rather than just responding to prompts [03:11]. This […]
• AI Can Raise the Floor for Higher Ed Policymaking - Jacob B. Gross, Inside Higher Ed
  On my campus, discussions about artificial intelligence tend to focus on how students should be allowed to use it and what tools the university should invest in. In my own work, I’ve seen both the promise and the pitfalls: AI that speeds up my coding, tidies my writing, and helps me synthesize complex documents, and […]

• Here’s the Best Way to Onboard a Manager - Henning and Angie Basiouny, Knowledge at Wharton
  Piezunka said the study draws attention to the importance of organizational design. When operations are scaling, they need to consider the personal relationships, behaviors, boundaries, and norms — not just workflows and responsibilities. Businesses with tightly knit teams can avoid the “intruder trap” through selective involvement of new hires. It’s a gentler way of welcoming […]
