š„ AI's expanding role
From virtual labs to cybersecurity, and societal shifts
š¾ IN TODAY'S WILD
AI is stepping into complex new roles. Stanford Medicine's "virtual scientists" are helping solve biological problems, showcasing AI in research. However, AI's growth demands addressing "blind spot sustainability" to measure its environmental impact.
Generative AI also challenges societal foundations of trust and authorship due to synthetic media. This era sees AI agents like RunSybil probing websites for cybersecurity vulnerabilities, marking a new era. Despite challenges, GenAI app revenue doubled and downloads hit 1.7 billion in H1 2025.
Educationally, Udemy launched a Vibe Coding Series for AI workflows. Technically, Tencent's CodeBuddy IDE fully automates app development via "conversation-is-programming." Finally, Microsoft identified "AI-safe careers" like painters and nursing assistants, less prone to AI displacement.
