According to a Challenger, Gray & Christmas report, U.S. employers have announced nearly 946,000 layoffs so far this year—the highest total since 2020—with more than 17,000 explicitly tied to AI and another 20,000 to automation.
“Job creation is very low, and the job-finding rate for people who are unemployed is very low,” Powell said.
The phenomenon is so widespread some economists have coined a new term—the “Great Freeze”—to describe the dismal labor market conditions. With unemployment among recent college grads topping 5%—and AI threatening to automate entry-level office jobs—many Gen Z workers are turning to graduate school as a strategic timeout.
An NBER study finds double majors suffer 56% less income loss during economic shocks compared with single-major peers. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, 30% of graduates double major, with computer science–data science leading the combinations. Research shows pairing a STEM or business discipline with a liberal arts field yields stronger job matches and R&D roles than doubling up on similar skills.

Harvard Business Review research shows only 4% of companies deploy AI with a "deep and narrow" approach - focusing on transforming ONE strategic domain completely rather than running scattered pilots.
The result? Double the ROI compared to shallow, broad implementations.
The insight: Stop spreading thin. Go deep in one domain.

OpenAI just made a major announcement, releasing ChatGPT for Teachers— launching a secure workspace designed specifically for K-12 educators. It's free for verified U.S. teachers through June 2027, and it's built to address privacy concerns that have held many districts back from adopting the platform.
Key features of the platform:
• Education-grade privacy and security that is FERPA-compliant
• School and district leaders can bring their school staff into one account with admin controls
• Includes personalized teaching and collaboration tools, plus examples and prompts from teachers already using ChatGPT
OpenAI has also announced they are working with districts representing 150,000 educators for ongoing feedback to guide improvements.
Use Markdown lists with dashed bullets Add “MUST“ (in caps) before critical requirements Include compositional constraints like “Pulitzer Prize-winning cover photo for The New York Times“ to improve quality Add “NEVER include any text or watermarks“ to avoid unwanted elements
In this tutorial, you will learn how to record and summarize meetings directly in the ChatGPT desktop app without third-party tools like Fireflies or Otter — perfect for companies that block external recording tools or privacy-sensitive teams. Step-by-step: Download the ChatGPT desktop app and log in with a Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise account (free accounts don't have full access) Click the "Record" button during your meeting, lecture, or session, and a recording panel appears and runs quietly in the background (always ask permission before recording others) Click "Stop" when finished, then send the recording to ChatGPT for a structured breakdown including summary, key points, action items, and suggested follow-ups Chat with your transcript by asking follow-ups like "Rewrite the summary in bullets for a Slack update" or "Highlight any risks or unanswered questions" Our Take: With ChatGPT record, you get the convenience of tools like Fireflies/Otter without having to invite an awkward bot into every Zoom call.

TikTok is testing a setting that lets users reduce or increase AI-generated videos in their feeds. The company disclosed the change at its European trust and safety forum, noting 1.3 billion clips on the platform now carry an AI label. Users adjust the preference through the “manage topic” menu under “AI-generated content,” a tool that will roll out globally after a few weeks of testing. TikTok will also apply an “AI-made” watermark to material created with its own AI tools or flagged by the C2PA standard to enforce transparency. AI videos remain a minority within the service’s 100 million daily uploads, yet they have fueled moderation and quality concerns. TikTok says automated systems have lowered the volume of shocking content reaching human moderators by 76 percent, highlighting its dual use of AI for user choice and internal safety.
Google releases its Gemini 3 model and unveils Antigravity, an agent-based coding platform that can autonomously execute tasks on a user’s computer. The launch moves the conversation beyond text generation to AI that plans, codes, and coordinates work with human oversight. In real-world tests, Gemini 3 built a playable game from a single prompt and created a full website that summarized years of blog posts, all while routing approvals through an inbox interface. Antigravity reads local files, writes code, conducts web research, and even controls the browser to validate its output. The model also cleaned messy research data, devised fresh hypotheses, executed statistical analysis, and delivered a 14-page journal-style paper with minimal guidance. The author says managing Gemini 3 feels like supervising a capable graduate assistant rather than coaxing a chatbot.
