AI Is Rewriting the Future of Travel – Artificial intelligence is transforming every stage of travel—from discovery to booking to cultural immersion. Saudi Tourism Authority CEO Fahd Hamidaddin says “agentic AI” will soon rebook flights, adjust itineraries, and personalize experiences in real time. Yet he warns transparency and ethics are vital to ensure AI empowers, not controls, travelers.

Fragmented Data Is Blocking AI Progress – A new HubSpot report warns that scattered, siloed data is stalling AI adoption and costing businesses revenue.

Predictive Analytics Is Changing Healthcare – Predictive analytics is helping doctors use data to spot health problems sooner, plan better treatments, and improve hospital efficiency.

ChatGPT Evolves Into an App Platform – OpenAI has transformed ChatGPT into a hub for in-chat apps like Spotify, Canva, Coursera, and Zillow, letting users complete tasks without leaving the conversation. The update turns ChatGPT into a conversational operating system—where apps join your chat, and OpenAI controls the new in-AI app economy.

Nvidia Will Keep Sponsoring H-1B Visas – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told employees the company will continue sponsoring H-1B visas and cover all new fees despite a recent $100,000 charge imposed by the Trump administration. Huang called legal immigration vital for U.S. innovation, noting Nvidia’s global workforce and immigrant roots as key to its success.

CEO Sam Altman said it streamlines every step from prototype to production. The launch aims to speed adoption and transform how developers create automated tools, marking a new phase for AI-powered work.

MrBeast Warns AI May Threaten Creators – YouTube star MrBeast said it’s “scary times” as AI-made videos spread, warning the tech could harm millions of creators who rely on content for income. His post followed OpenAI’s Sora 2 launch and YouTube’s new AI tools, sparking worries that automation could replace real human creativity online.

Deloitte Bets on AI to Transform Work – Deloitte will roll out Anthropic’s Claude chatbot to 500,000 employees, creating AI tools for finance, health, and public sectors. The move, announced alongside a refund for an AI error in a government report, shows how deeply AI is reshaping jobs, workflows, and accountability inside global firms.

OpenAI Targets AI-Powered Commerce Boom – OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a marketplace where users can shop and pay directly through AI. The move could unlock huge new revenue streams as commerce shifts from search to chat. Experts say it positions OpenAI as a major player in the future of digital payments.

Anthropic Expands to India Amid Rising Growth – Anthropic CEO is opening a Bengaluru office and negotiating a partnership with Reliance Industries to boost Claude AI’s reach. India, now its second-largest market, saw app revenue jump 572% year-over-year as Anthropic aims to capture a larger share of global AI spending.

Sugar Free Capital Raises $32M MIT Fund – Investor Sheena Jindal closed a $32 million debut fund to back early-stage MIT founders. Supported by family offices tied to Nvidia and Citadel, Sugar Free Capital will invest $1–5 million per deal in AI infrastructure, defense, and automation startups focused on technical innovation.

AltStore Raises $6M to Expand Global App Market – Alternative app store AltStore secured $6 million in Series A funding from Pace Capital, valuing the firm at roughly $40 million. The funds will support global expansion and new hires as AltStore connects to the fediverse, blending open social platforms with app distribution.

The daily hum of AI tools at work can make it feel like the machines are taking over the thinking. But that’s the illusion—not the reality. AI thrives on patterns, scale, and optimization. Human creativity still plays in the messy, boundary-crossing zones machines can’t reach. The trick is learning to dance with the algorithm instead of competing against it.

Some people lean on AI as a brainstorming partner: “What if we tried this angle …?” They push it, prod it, prod it again, until the output surprises them. This kind of conversational use mirrors how creatives push each other in meetings. But if you just hand AI a brief and accept the first answer, it becomes a crutch — and your imagination atrophies. The latest MIT Sloan study shows that generative AI enhances creativity—but crucially only if you engage with it metacognitively: reflect, adjust, question. Rice University researchers echo this: AI doesn’t create on its own — humans must guide and refine it.

In creative firms, workers are reconfiguring their role boundaries with AI—not letting the tool decide, but deciding where it helps, where it distracts. They build “interpretive trust”: shaping the output so it fits human aesthetics, standards, and accountability. That means you retain authorship. It means you don’t outsource your taste or judgment.

Still, there’s tension. A recent work warns of “workslop”—low-effort AI output that looks polished but lacks depth—and the risk that relying too heavily on AI diminishes your intrinsic motivation. Also, Wharton research reveals a danger: when everyone leans on the same AI for ideation, group thinking tends to converge, reducing diversity of ideas. That’s creativity’s silent killer: sameness.

To stay human in the AI era, carve out breathing space. Sketch, doodle, talk to walls, jot half-formed ideas. These aren’t inefficiencies—they’re your generative ground. Then, when AI enters the frame, you’ll have something weird, personal, messy to feed it.
