Organizations are deploying agentic coding tools and coming to grips with the costs of AI while still seeking to capture more of the benefits that their workers are deriving from their individual use of AI.Nearly a decade into tracking corporate technology deployment, artificial intelligence has reached a critical juncture characterized by deepening adoption, expanding functional use, and the rapid emergence of autonomous agentic systems. According to McKinsey's August 2026 report, titled The State of AI in 2026: On the Road to ROI, nearly n...

Because "just checking in" shouldn't be your only safety net.Checking in on aging parents usually means playing a proactive game. Are they okay? Did they sleep well? Would you even know if something was wrong before it became serious? You have to be constantly vigilant and check in with your elders. Carely wants to remove that guesswork entirely, and it does so without a screen, an app your parents need to open, or a single daily check-in call.What Does Carely Track?The wearable packs six biometric sensors that monitor heart rate, blood oxyg...

In 2025, global wealth expanded at its fastest pace since 2017, marking the third consecutive year of growth.The latest edition of the UBS Global Wealth Report shows a broad-based increase in personal wealth, driven by strong financial markets and rising non‑financial assets, with average wealth growing faster than global economic output. However, gains were uneven, with differences across regions and wealth segments.In 2025, global personal wealth rose by 10.8% in USD terms, significantly outpacing growth seen in 2024 (4.6%) and 2023 (4.2%...

The Andy Warhol Museum has launched “See It at The Warhol”, a minimalist out-of-home and digital campaign from BarkleyOKRP that advertises Warhol’s work without showing the art itself.Instead, billboards offer deliberately blunt clues such as “Soup can.”, while other executions reduce familiar works to references including balloons and cows.Here, recognition is the creative mechanism. By withholding the image, the campaign turns the audience’s visual memory into part of the ad and, in the process, makes a point about just how deeply Wa...

A new report reveals legal-age Gen-Zers are drinking at almost the exact same rate as the rest of the population—and their unique habits are reshaping a $2.7 billion beverage market.Gen Z isn’t the teetotalling generation after all, according to new data. They just took some time to catch up to the rest of the drinking population, and their influence is reshaping the alcohol industry.As a larger proportion of gen Zers reaches legal drinking age, the gap between them and drinkers at large “appears to have almost completely disappeared.” T...

Is this model a good doctor, or was it good at the test?If a medical student achieves a perfect 100% score on every exam throughout medical school, patients would still hesitate if that student were assigned as their primary caregiver without supervised experience. This precise tension lies at the heart of artificial intelligence adoption in healthcare: model performance on standardized benchmarks fails to reflect real-world clinical efficacy. While AI models have demonstrated extraordinary progress in handling structured tasks with clear, p...

Scientists have been searching for ethical, high-quality alternatives to animal leather, which notoriously comes with environmental costs and ethical compromises. While synthetic alternatives solve the ethical dilemma, many of them are plastic-based and very difficult to recycle. Now, researchers are trying to find an option that checks all the boxes, and the best material for it seems to be … mushrooms.The idea of making leather-like material from fungi isn’t new. At first, the main question was whether fungi could be a good alternative t...
