Google’s new AI model predicts extreme floods five days in advance, while cutting-edge robots are outpacing even Elon Musk’s Optimus. On the job front, AI could impact wages for workers who don’t 'upskill,' as job ads increasingly seek AI expertise.

The EU’s historic AI Act is being hailed as a milestone, though reactions are mixed. AI is even making its way into war game simulations, with the U.S. Army testing chatbots as battle planners. But experts warn about potential failure points in engineering systems like retrieval-augmented generation and mental health risks from 'AI ghosts.' Whether it’s designing generative UI or solving 50,000 trolley problems, AI’s rapid rise demands careful thought, creativity, and a human touch to navigate the challenges ahead!
