Artificial intelligence may take over some tasks and transform others, but one thing is certain: it’s reshaping the job market. Researchers at USC’s Information Sciences Institute (ISI) analyzed LinkedIn job postings and AI-related patent filings to measure which jobs are most exposed, and where those changes are happening first.Artificial intelligence may take over some tasks and transform others, but one thing is certain: it’s reshaping the job market.

This startup thinks email could be the key to usable AI agents
Mixus’ AI agent platform not only keeps humans in the workflow, it also allows those humans to interact with agents directly from their email or Slack.

While the advent of robotic systems that can complete household chores has been widely anticipated, those commercially released so far are primarily robot vacuums that autonomously clean the floor. In contrast, robots that can reliably clean surfaces, tidy up, cook or perform other tasks in home environments are either too expensive or have not yet reached the market.While the advent of robotic systems that can complete household chores has been widely anticipated, those commercially released so far are primarily robot vacuums that autonomously clean the floor.

AI image generation—which relies on neural networks to create new images from a variety of inputs, including text prompts—is projected to become a billion-dollar industry by the end of this decade. Even with today’s technology, if you wanted to make a fanciful picture of, say, a friend planting a flag on Mars or heedlessly flying into a black hole, it could take less than a second.AI image generation—which relies on neural networks to create new images from a variety of inputs, including text prompts—is projected to become a billion-dollar industry by the end of this decade.
