The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger
The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger
The impacts of generative AI on the workforce are another core issue that critics are organizing around. “Workers are more intuitive than a lot of the pundit class gives them credit for,” says Merchant. “They know this has been a naked attempt to get rid of people.” The next major shift in public opinion will likely follow previous patterns, occurring when broad swaths of workers feel further threatened and organize in response. And this time, the in-person protests may be just as big as the online backlash.

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.

TikTok to give users power to reduce amount of AI content on their feeds
TikTok to give users power to reduce amount of AI content on their feeds

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.

Three Years from GPT-3 to Gemini 3
Three Years from GPT-3 to Gemini 3

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.

Copy-and-Paste Now Exceeds File Transferring as the Top Corporate Data Exfiltration Vector - Slashdot
It is now more common for data to leave companies through copying and pasting than through file transfers and uploads, LayerX revealed in its Browser Security Report 2025. This shift is largely due to generative AI (genAI), with 77% of employees pasting data into AI prompts, and 32% of all copy-pastes from corporate accounts to non-corporate accounts occurring within genAI tools…Overall, 45% of employees actively use AI tools, with 67% of these tools being accessed via personal accounts and ChatGPT making up 92% of all use..." "With the rise of AI-driven browsers such as OpenAI's Atlas and Perplexity's Comet, governance of AI tools' access to corporate data becomes even more urgent, the LayerX report notes."

“The most important thing an individual can do is be somewhat less of an individual,” the environmentalist Bill McKibben once said. “Join together with others in movements large enough to have some chance at changing those political and economic ground rules that keep us locked on this current path.”

Now, you know what word I’m about to say next, right? Unionize. If your workplace can be organized, that’ll be a key strategy for allowing you to fight AI policies you disagree with…. According to Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth’s research, if you want to achieve systemic social change, you need to mobilize 3.5 percent of the population around your cause. Though we have not yet seen AI-related protests on that scale, we do have data indicating the potential for a broad base. A full 50 percent of Americans are more concerned than excited about the rise of AI in daily life, according to a recent survey from the Pew Research Center. And 73 percent support robust regulation of AI, according to the Future of Life Institute.
