Major airlines are starting to behave as if the aviation industry has entered a new cost reality.

Snap’s latest round of layoffs is not just another tech cost-cutting story. It is one of the clearer examples of how artificial intelligence is moving from an experimental tool into the operating model of a large technology company.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has a simple answer to the fear that AI will make engineers obsolete: engineering is not the same thing as typing code. That distinction matters. AI can already generate code, test fragments of software, summarize documentation, and automate many narrow technical tasks. But Huang’s broader point…
Food prices are not just an economic indicator. In many parts of the world, they decide whether a family eats less, pulls a child out of school, sells productive assets, skips medical care, or falls into hunger that is difficult to escape. The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises shows…
Block Inc., the company behind Square and Cash App, has become one of the clearest examples so far of how artificial intelligence may reshape the structure of large technology companies.
