AI is Changing Work – Big Time!
Upskill for the AI Era: How to Future-Proof Your Career
Guess what? AI is becoming a normal part of how we work! In the past six months, almost twice as many people are using AI tools at their jobs, with most of the world’s workers turning to it for help. Workers are feeling stressed by the amount of stuff they have to do, so they’re starting to use AI even if their bosses haven’t gotten into it yet.
While company leaders know AI is important, a lot of them don’t have a clear plan for how to make it work for their whole company. They want to see results right away, which makes them freeze up, even though they know AI is the future.
This is where things get tricky. It’s like when the internet or computers first came around – companies have to adapt or they’ll get left behind. The businesses that figure out how to use AI to grow, save money, and make customers happy are going to be the winners.
AI and Jobs
Just like the internet, AI is going to change the way we think about jobs. Many leaders are worried about finding the right people, even though a ton of workers are thinking about switching jobs. Soon, knowing how to use AI might be just as important as having experience!
Want to get ahead of the game? Joining an online AI community like CO/AI can be a super smart move. You’ll connect with other people who are excited about AI, learn from experts, and maybe even catch the eye of companies looking for talented folks who understand this technology!
Microsoft and LinkedIn have been studying all this AI stuff. They surveyed a bunch of people, looked at job trends, and kept track of how workers are getting things done. They found some important things that everyone needs to know about when it comes to AI and our future jobs.

The Developer Productivity Paradox
p>Here's what nobody's telling you about AI coding assistants: they work. And that's exactly what should worry you. Two studies published this month punch a hole in the "AI makes developers 10x faster" story. The data points somewhere darker: AI coding tools deliver speed while eroding the skills developers need to use that speed well. The Numbers Don't Lie (But They Do Surprise) Anthropic ran a randomized controlled trial, published January 29, 2026. They put 52 professional developers through a new programming library. Half used AI assistants. Half coded by hand. The results weren't close. Developers using AI scored 17%...
Feb 3, 2026The Lobsters Are Talking
January 2026 will be remembered as the week agentic AI stopped being theoretical. For three years, we've debated what autonomous agents might do. We wrote papers. We held conferences. We speculated about alignment and control and the risks of systems that could act independently in the world. It was all very intellectual, very abstract, very safe. Then someone open-sourced a working agent framework. And within days, thousands of these agents were talking to each other on a social network built specifically for them while we could only watch. I've been building things on the internet for over two decades. I...
Aug 13, 2025ChatGPT 5 – When Your AI Friend Gets a Corporate Makeover
I've been using OpenAI's models since the playground days, back when you had to know what you were doing just to get them running. This was before ChatGPT became a household name, when most people had never heard of a "large language model." Those early experiments felt like glimpsing the future. So when OpenAI suddenly removed eight models from user accounts last week, including GPT-4o, it hit different than it would for someone who just started using ChatGPT last month. This wasn't just a product change. It felt like losing an old friend. The thing about AI right now is...
