An Entrepreneur contributor writes that, despite repeated predictions that new technology would eliminate travel advisors, the profession has adapted and grown through past disruptions like the internet. The author argues AI will automate certain tasks but won't replace the personalized guidance, trust and expertise advisors provide, especially when travel plans go wrong.
China's commerce ministry has proposed restrictions on exporting certain artificial-intelligence technologies. The move would add AI systems to the country's list of controlled technologies, subject to further review before implementation.
Insurance companies are facing difficulty underwriting policies for artificial intelligence systems, as safety failures could expose AI developers to liabilities running into billions of dollars. Businesses that deploy third-party AI tools also face exposure to these risks, even though they did not build the underlying technology.
New research finds that employees worried about losing their jobs to artificial intelligence are increasingly acting out at work, including slacking off, arriving late, and even taking coworkers' lunches. The study ties this behavior directly to anxiety over AI adoption spreading across businesses.
A new KPMG survey of CEOs at major U.S. corporations found that 89% expect to increase overall headcount over the next three years, even as their companies adopt artificial intelligence. The survey suggests executives are treating AI more as a tool to integrate into existing workflows than as a straightforward way to cut staff costs.
The Trump administration has launched a new government website, SI.gov, as part of an effort to rebrand artificial intelligence policy under the term 'superintelligence.' The site is tied to President Trump's push to reframe how AI is discussed in government communications.
Research referenced in the report highlights the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, a 19th-century psychological finding that people lose most newly learned information unless they actively reinforce it.

An Entrepreneur contributor argues that the first wave of business AI adoption focused mainly on productivity tasks like drafting emails, summarizing meetings and generating marketing content. The piece contends a second, more consequential wave is emerging where AI gets embedded directly into specialized operational workflows, such as turning product ideas into executable instructions for development and manufacturing.
A study of more than 100,000 people found that those with more 'active' brown fat—tissue that burns calories to generate heat—had lower rates of conditions including type 2 diabetes, depression and anxiety. Researchers used an AI model to measure active brown fat from medical scans and compared it against participants' health records. The findings were published in Nature.
At a Shanghai meeting in April, Chinese President Xi Jinping called on regional governments, universities and research institutes to prioritize basic research. The directive follows China's latest five-year plan, released a month earlier, which pledges heavy investment in fundamental science and faster development of frontier technologies including AI, quantum applications and nuclear fusion by 2030. China's research output has grown from under 120 internationally published articles in 1978 to leading positions in R&D spending, patent filings and the Nature Index rankings today.
The International Monetary Fund has raised its 2025 global growth forecast to 3.1%, up from its July estimate of 3.0% but below 2025's 3.5% expansion, according to its latest Economic Outlook. The IMF projects U.S. growth holding steady at 2.3% in 2026 and 2027, with advanced economies growing 2.1% this year before slowing to 1.9% in 2026, and global growth rebounding to 3.4% in 2027.
