A Glassdoor analysis of employee reviews found mentions of AI and LLMs jumped 240 percent between May 2025 and May 2026, while positive sentiment about the technology fell from 81 percent in 2019 to just 43 percent this year. Insurance claims adjustors were the most critical group, with 98 percent of their AI-related comments negative, followed by writers, editors, journalists and accountants.
SurveyMonkey has launched its largest product overhaul since the company started in 1999, embedding AI tools throughout the platform. The update is designed to help users create surveys more quickly and to convert raw respondent feedback into actionable insights for businesses.
Android Authority surveyed readers on which phone they'd buy instead of Google's new Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the results showed a near three-way tie between the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the previous-generation Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Moto Razr Ultra. No single device dominated, reflecting mixed enthusiasm for this year's Pixel 11 lineup.
A new survey-based study examines how AI adoption in U.S. workplaces affects employment, looking beyond layoffs to also measure job creation and promotions tied to tools like ChatGPT. The research suggests that while some workers face displacement, others are seeing new roles or career advancement as a result of AI integration.
Paul Sutter, an astrophysicist and science communicator, wrote in Nautilus that he used AI 'vibe coding' to build a faster, more sophisticated update to his void-detection algorithm. Ten minutes into presenting it to collaborators, a colleague flagged that its handling of survey edges was fundamentally wrong, meaning every result built on it was also incorrect.
The U.S. Navy tested a wind-powered Saildrone Surveyor SD-3001 unmanned surface vessel armed with Lockheed Martin's JAGM missiles during RIMPAC 2026 exercises. Controlled via the Navy's ARES system, the drone fired two JAGMs while operating alongside the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group, and also demonstrated electronic warfare capabilities by working with an MH-60S helicopter to identify a mock threat.
A new survey finds that almost 50% of respondents would be comfortable using artificial intelligence tools to help draft their wedding vows. The findings suggest AI is increasingly seeping into wedding planning tasks once considered deeply personal, from venue selection to now the vows themselves.
Three separate research reports from Deloitte, KPMG/PwC, and Accenture found that while companies are rapidly rolling out AI agents across business functions, few have built the operational structures, workforce readiness, or accountability frameworks needed to scale them safely. Deloitte's survey found only 15% of organizations have reached coordinated multi-agent deployments, and just 16% believe their processes are actually ready for agentic adoption, even though 74% of leaders expect half their business processes to be redesigned around agents by 2030. Separate Salesforce data shows active AI agent deployments tripling year over year, with employee trust and usage also rising sharply.
A YouGov poll of 20,000 Americans shared with The Washington Post found 46% oppose license plate reader surveillance in their communities, versus 38% in favor, flipping last year's majority support. Flock, which operates over 120,000 such cameras nationwide, has faced backlash after reports of police misuse, prompting several communities to drop or reject contracts.
NASA is preparing to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on Sunday at 7:26 a.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center, using a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The telescope, arriving roughly eight months early and under budget, will travel to the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point about 1 million miles away after final inspections and fueling with 290 gallons of hydrazine.
Android Authority surveyed over 2,000 readers asking whether they would pay to unlock newer AI features on their older Pixel phones. More than 82% called such a purchase a waste of money, while roughly 10% said they'd rather buy a new phone outright, and just 6.8% would pay a subscription to extend their current device's life.
A massive ice and rock collapse in the mountains along the Nepal-Tibet border unleashed a torrent of mud, rock and water down the Bhotekoshi River on Wednesday, killing around 350 people with more than 1,000 still missing. The US Geological Survey confirmed the landslide itself generated a 5.2-magnitude seismic signal, ruling out earlier theories that an earthquake or a glacial lake burst had caused the disaster.
