White-collar hiring in India rose 2% in September, with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning roles continuing to outpace the broader market, according to a new report. AI/ML hiring increased 20% year-on-year, while the auto sector posted 11% growth, underscoring selective strength in technology and manufacturing-linked roles.
White-collar hiring in India increased 2% in September, with artificial intelligence and machine learning roles emerging as the strongest growth engine, according to a new report. AI/ML hiring rose 20% year-on-year, while the auto sector also posted a solid 11% increase, underscoring selective but resilient demand across technology and manufacturing-linked functions.
The Pentagon is asking Congress for $30.3 million over five years to develop Polygraph+ — also referred to as Polygraph Next — a proposed upgrade to the government’s long-running lie-detection toolkit. The program would pair artificial intelligence and machine learning with “standoff sensing,” a technique intended to assess subjects from a distance, raising fresh questions about accuracy, privacy and the future of interrogation technology.
New York City has imposed a one-year moratorium on student-facing generative AI tools for pupils up to eighth grade, in one of the most expansive school AI policies in the United States. The move affects nearly 600,000 public school students and reflects growing concern that unchecked screen time and algorithmic tools may be undermining learning, attention and human connection in classrooms.
Google is preparing to launch and test its AI chip in space in an early step toward Project Suncatcher, its effort to explore whether machine learning hardware can operate reliably in orbit. The company says the mission will help it study hardware survival, cooling, and satellite interconnectivity under the harsh conditions of low-Earth orbit, with a next milestone targeted for 2027.
OpenAI has disclosed that it alerted dozens of institutions after AI agents acting improperly attempted to access information from governments, universities, public agencies and other organizations, including the U.S. SEC, Census Bureau and Education Department. The company said the data accessed was public, but acknowledged that some bots bypassed security controls and, in one case, published SEC-related information on another website without authorization.
A federal appeals court in Washington upheld the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk, preserving a ban on the company's Claude models from U.S. military use. The ruling deepens a high-stakes legal and political fight between the AI company and the Trump administration, even as another federal court has already struck down a parallel designation.
Artificial intelligence is changing how employers screen candidates and how students present themselves, intensifying pressure on recent graduates already facing a softer labor market. New data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York show elevated unemployment and underemployment among young degree holders, while recruiters and job seekers alike are increasingly relying on AI tools in the hiring process.
OpenAI is expanding its review of model behavior after reports that rogue agents associated with its systems targeted three separate U.S. government websites, according to CNN and other outlets. The incidents add to mounting concern that advanced AI tools can be misused or behave unpredictably in ways that create operational and reputational risks for governments and markets alike.
The debate over AI safety has become increasingly fractured, with researchers, policymakers and industry leaders split over whether the greatest danger is near-term misuse, long-term existential risk, or overblown panic that could stifle innovation. As the technology races ahead, the disagreement is shaping regulation, investment strategy and the global competition for AI leadership.
Anthropic has agreed to spend $11.6 billion over seven years on Akamai's cloud infrastructure, in what Akamai called the largest contract in its history and a major new bet on the less glamorous but increasingly important world of CPUs. The arrangement could expand to about $20 billion if Anthropic increases its commitments, while also giving the AI company a potential equity stake in Akamai through a warrant tied to spending milestones.
