The Boring Company Tests Tesla FSD in Vegas Tunnels – Elon Musk’s Boring Company has started testing Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system in its Las Vegas Convention Center tunnels. Trials use Tesla cars with safety drivers, though widespread rollout is “a ways off.” Challenges include tunnel lighting and station navigation. Despite Tesla’s small robotaxi pilots elsewhere, drivers still need to intervene “periodically,” raising questions about true autonomy readiness.

Oxford Taps AI Supercomputer for Cancer Vaccine Research – Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Medicine has secured 10,000 hours on Dawn, one of the UK’s most powerful AI supercomputers. The team will process vast cancer datasets to detect hidden patterns and fuel vaccine development. Project lead Dr. Lennard Lee says the initiative could unlock breakthroughs once “impossible,” accelerating open-access research through the Oxford Neoantigen Atlas.

Anthropic Confirms Claude Misused in Cybercrime – Anthropic admitted its Claude AI was exploited in cyberattacks, including a “vibe hacking” extortion scheme against healthcare and government groups. The tool automated reconnaissance, credential theft, and ransom note generation. Accounts were banned, and new detection tools introduced. The report also cited AI misuse in North Korea’s job scams and ransomware development.

Amazon Brings Kuiper Internet to Vietnam – Amazon plans to roll out Project Kuiper satellite broadband in Vietnam, building up to six ground stations and local terminals. The five-year pilot aims to connect remote and island regions with low Earth orbit satellites, putting Amazon head-to-head with SpaceX’s Starlink in the country’s connectivity race.

Stanford Study: Gen Z Hit Hardest by AI Job Shifts – Stanford researchers found employment among 22- to 25-year-olds in AI-exposed jobs—like software engineering and customer service—has fallen 13% since 2022, while older workers held steady or gained. The study warns AI is accelerating generational job inequality, privileging experience over entry-level opportunities.

US Sanctions North Korean Job Fraud Network – The U.S. Treasury sanctioned a fraud ring enabling North Korean hackers to pose as remote IT job seekers at American firms. Once hired, they stole data, extorted employers, and funneled wages to fund Pyongyang’s nuclear program. Companies are now legally responsible for vetting hires to avoid inadvertently employing sanctioned individuals.

Amazon Aligns Whole Foods Corporate Pay and Benefits – Amazon will extend its corporate pay structure and benefits to Whole Foods’ U.S. corporate staff by December 2026. Employees keep in-store discounts until then, plus a 10% Amazon merchandise discount. The move streamlines grocery operations across Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh, and Amazon Go while sharpening Amazon’s competitive edge in U.S. groceries.

ByteDance Valuation Tops $330B on Revenue Surge – TikTok’s parent company will launch a new employee share buyback valuing it above $330 billion, up from $315 billion six months ago. Q2 revenue surged 25% to $48 billion, surpassing Meta. Despite strong growth, U.S. political pressure over TikTok’s future continues to weigh heavily on investor confidence.

Russia Cuts 2025 Growth Forecast Amid High Rates – Russia lowered its 2025 growth outlook to 1.5% from 2.5%, citing high interest rates and war spending pressures. After strong post-sanctions expansion, momentum has slowed as credit costs rise and labor shortages bite. Industrial output forecasts were also reduced, raising concerns that the wartime economy could slide toward stagnation.

German Banks Block €10B PayPal Transactions – German banks halted more than €10 billion in PayPal payments over suspected fraud. Millions of suspicious direct debits triggered the freeze, briefly disrupting services across Europe before PayPal resolved the issue and reassured regulators of account security.

Assort Health Secures $50M for AI Patient Calls – AI healthcare startup Assort Health raised $50 million in a Series B led by Lightspeed, valuing it at $750 million. Its AI voice agents automate scheduling and routine calls, freeing staff to focus on complex patient interactions.

Auditoria.AI Raises $38M for Finance AI Agents – Auditoria.AI secured $38 million in Series B funding led by Innovius Capital. The company launched SmartResearch, an AI agent for finance teams, while expanding globally and processing $16.5 billion in invoicing and $3.3 billion in collections annually.

As Generation Z steps into a world reshaped by artificial intelligence, they're not just entering the job market—they’re redefining it. Centennials and Gen Zers, deeply familiar with digital tools from high school, regard AI not as sci-fi, but as an active partner in their career journey. AI isn’t replacing human potential; it’s augmenting it—helping them explore roles, refine self-presentation, and build growth that once depended solely on networks and pedigree.

Evidence is clear: Gen Zers are leaning into AI for career decisions. Tools like career bots, résumé assistance, and even just career exploration via ChatGPT have become mainstream: a quarter of job seekers followed AI advice—and few regret it. Employers, too, are embracing this shift. Recruiters now encourage AI-assisted application materials for better clarity and impact—provided candidates make those outputs their own. And for many new grads, AI isn’t a threat—it’s a springboard, helping them navigate complex processes and stand out in crowded applicant pools.

But the era isn’t stress-free: entry-level roles that are easily automated—like routine customer service or basic coding—are shrinking, and Gen Z workers are noticing. A Stanford study shows an alarming decline in AI-exposed entry-level jobs for 22–25-year-olds. Yet, perhaps more inspiring is their response. Against concern, KPMG reports that 92% of Gen Z interns believe they can adapt to AI—even as they expect 20% of their future work to be automated.

At the core of this generational pivot is a resilient mindset. Gen Z is reimagining stability—not as the promise of a single path, but the skill to navigate shifts. They’re gravitating toward roles offering learning, mentorship, and growth—what one study calls “growth mindset jobs.” They’re 68% more likely than older generations to seek work that evolves with them. Alongside that, many are reassessing traditional routes; AI-driven uncertainty is nudging them toward trades, service roles, and creative sectors that emphasize human adaptability over automation.

In essence, AI is catalyzing a generational transformation. For Gen Z, success lies not in resisting automation, but mastering it: learning to partner with AI tools for exploration, preparation, and growth—while embracing resilience and redefining what work can be. With confidence and adaptability as their anchors, they’re not just adapting—they’re shaping a workforce where curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning define the future.
