AI Revolution: Small Businesses, New Tech, and Ethical Concerns

A new survey shows that 69% of small businesses are now using AI, up from 56% last year.

AI is helping them save time and money, from automating inventory management to screening job applicants.

One thrift store startup even developed an AI-powered scanner that cuts inventory tagging time from 20 minutes to

just two!

A new trend called 'vibecoding' is making it possible for non-programmers to create their own software using AI.

By simply describing what they need, users can generate apps and tools without writing a single line of

code.

This could revolutionize software development, making it more accessible than ever.

Chinese tech giant Tencent has released a new AI model, Hunyuan Turbo S, which it claims is faster

than DeepSeek-R1.

The model can answer queries in under a second and is designed to be more cost-efficient.

This move highlights the growing competition in the AI space, especially in China.

A new AI communication method called 'Gibberlink Mode' allows AI agents to talk in a language humans can't

understand.

While it improves efficiency, experts warn it could make AI harder to control.

This raises ethical concerns about transparency and alignment with human values.

The CEO of InMobi predicts that 80% of software coding will be automated by the end of the

year, leading to job losses for engineers.

He urges professionals to upgrade their skills, warning that AI will first replace highly specialized jobs before moving

to other industries.

OpenAI has launched GPT-4.5, which promises more natural conversations.

This will be the last version before OpenAI shifts to 'chain-of-thought reasoning,' where AI takes more time to

think before responding.

The goal is to make AI interactions feel more intuitive and human-like.
