Hey everyone,
Good morning and happy Friday!
A new survey across six countries reveals how people are using generative AI in their daily lives and what they think about its impact on journalism. Despite widespread speculation, Wharton expert Ethan Mollick warns that AI job predictions are unreliable, stating that no one, not even major tech companies, truly knows the future of AI’s effect on the labor market. This cautious perspective is contrasted by companies like Visa, which has woven AI into every part of its operations, treating it as both a science and an art.
In other developments, Northwestern University has partnered with AWS to create a multilingual generative AI search tool. In healthcare, a study is using generative AI to create patient-friendly radiology reports for cancer patients. On the tech front, Claude Sonnet 3.5 is set to be deprecated. Lastly, some experts believe that AI video, which is rapidly advancing beyond simple “slop,” may be the next major frontier in AI, surpassing text-based models.

This financial tension, however, masks the true narrative: the acceleration of AI adoption is poised to create a seismic shift in the corporate world. As AI becomes more accessible and intelligent, its disruptive force won’t just correct market values but will fundamentally upend industries and displace major players. This post reveals why the true risk isn’t a bubble, but a “train wreck” for those who fail to adapt.” Continue reading here.

Our survey in six countries (Argentina, Denmark, France, Japan, the UK, and the US) explored how people use generative AI in their everyday lives, what they think its impact will be on different areas of society, and what they think about its use in news and journalism specifically. It is a follow-up to the survey that we conducted in the same six countries in 2024 (Fletcher and Nielsen 2024). Based on the results of this survey, and the previous one, we find the following.

Don’t trust AI jobs predictions, says Wharton expert Ethan Mollick: ‘No one knows anything.’
Wharton AI expert Ethan Mollick says some evidence of workplace productivity gains from gen AI are emerging, but he says the larger truth is that we still know very little about AI, the job market, and future use cases, and that goes for the biggest AI companies, too. [LINK]
