Plus: Summer hiatus & tracking trends
After 18 months of showing up in your inbox every week with practical AI insights—and growing to over 20,000 subscribers—we’ve decided it’s time to hit pause for the summer. Our travel schedules are filling up, so taking a hiatus feels like the smartest (and healthiest) move.
This week marks our 80th issue and our final one before the break. We’ll continue to follow the rapid developments in AI, using this time to analyze the deeper issues and sharpen our focus on the tools and ideas that truly matter for the months and years ahead.
We may be slowing the pace, but trust us, we’re not stepping away from the prompt.
This edition highlights the trends we’ll be watching. Stay curious, stay engaged—and we’ll see you in September!

AI & Work
AI is remaking the labor market, but no one’s quite sure where it’s all heading. While projections show an estimated 170 million new jobs will be generated globally by 2030, that optimistic number may be undercut by sweeping automation, especially in early-career white-collar roles.
The rise and fall of prompt engineering is a case study in just how quickly AI is changing the work landscape. The Wall Street Journal recently claimed what was hailed as a must-have skill in 2023 is now considered mostly redundant. Why? Companies are embedding AI use across departments and expect employees to pick up prompting basics on the job—no need for a dedicated specialist.
Recent articles worth reading on the subject:
Job loss isn’t the only concern—it’s the deeper uncertainty around what work will mean in an AI-powered world. As automation accelerates and the job landscape tilts in new directions, the sense of unease is starting to feel less like a temporary adjustment, and more like a permanent shift.

AI in Health & Medicine
When it comes to AI’s potential for public good, healthcare may be the most promising frontier. The promise is clear: smarter systems mean more accurate care, faster results, and a more personalized approach for every patient. AI is already visible across clinics, hospitals, and labs.
AI advances making headlines in medicine and healthcare:
As these technologies continue to evolve, the focus is also on giving clinicians more time to care —and patients the best possible outcomes.

AI in the Classroom
AI is rapidly reshaping classrooms, lecture halls, and homework routines across the country. Its impact is sparking growing debate, and for good reason. While it raises concerns about easier cheating and potential declines in critical thinking, it also opens the door to personalized tutoring and support for students who need it most.
Check out these recent news stories on AI & education. We especially love the one about the college student who demanded a tuition refund after she caught her professor using ChatGPT for his coursework!
School may be almost out for the summer, but we’re certain the conversation around AI’s role in education will continue.

AI Companions
This is an area we’re still trying to get our heads around. AI is quickly becoming a powerful source of emotional support, therapy, friendship, and even romance. The surge in AI companion usage is not limited to any one demographic -- adults of all ages are turning to chatbots and virtual partners for connection, comfort, and conversation in an increasingly digital world.
It's a far bigger trend than we’ve understood, and there’s a dark side, too, with AI deepfakes and scams that can cause real harm. Below is recommended reading on this confusing subject.
The rise of AI companions is partly a response to growing social isolation. The challenge ahead will be finding the right balance, leveraging AI’s benefits while preserving the irreplaceable aspects of genuine human connection.
Enjoy the summer!
