Ford CEO Warns of AI’s Threat to Office Jobs, Urges Investment in Skilled Trades: Ford CEO Jim Farley cautioned that AI could replace up to half of U.S. white-collar jobs while the nation continues to overlook its critical shortage of blue-collar workers. He argued the U.S. underinvests in vocational training, leaving a gap of over a million trade workers even as demand for these roles grows especially to support AI infrastructure itself. Farley called for a cultural and educational shift toward valuing skilled trades as vital to America’s future stability and prosperity.

UK and Singapore Forge Ahead on AI Cooperation in Finance: The UK and Singapore have launched a practical partnership to explore how AI can enhance finance, focusing on real-world applications like risk assessment, fraud detection, and personalized services while maintaining regulatory standards. During their Financial Dialogue and a follow-up roundtable, officials and industry leaders tackled challenges such as AI explainability, cross-border innovation, and sustainable finance initiatives. With clear next steps and shared goals, their collaboration could set a global example for balancing innovation and oversight in the AI-driven financial sector.

EU Refuses to Delay Landmark AI Rules: The European Union confirmed it will stick to its AI Act timeline despite pressure from over 100 tech companies, including Alphabet and Meta, to postpone implementation. The EU emphasized there will be no pause or grace period, reiterating its commitment to the risk-based rules that ban certain harmful AI uses and impose stricter oversight on high-risk systems. The full AI Act is set to take effect by mid-2026, marking a major regulatory milestone in the global AI landscape.

AI Social Media Brief

Meta’s AI chatbots are learning to slide into your DMs like an overeager ex.

Meta is testing chatbots on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp that can message you first, follow up on past chats, and even carry on “meaningful” conversations about your interests all without being asked.

Here’s what’s actually happening (and what you should know):

Key Points:

• Proactive AI.
  These bots are designed to reach out unprompted and even follow up later if you don’t reply.

• Memory Included.
  They’re programmed to “remember” details from your earlier chats (within a 2-week window).

• Public or Private.
  You can keep your bot to yourself, or display/share it for others to interact with.

• Not That Smart.
  Meta admits the bots can still be inaccurate, inappropriate, and definitely not substitutes for actual professional advice.

• Follow the Money.
  Meta expects its AI products to rake in billions with future plans for ads, subscriptions, and VR tie-ins.

On paper, it’s about fighting loneliness. But let’s not kid ourselves it’s also about engagement, data, and yes… revenue.

Whether you find proactive bots helpful or just one more algorithm trying to keep you online, it’s clear: the line between “friend” and “ad” is getting blurrier.

Google Hit With EU Complaint Over AI Search Summaries

Google just can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight when it comes to complaints. This time over its AI Overviews feature. The Independent Publishers Alliance filed an antitrust complaint with the European Commission, claiming Google misuses publishers’ content in AI-generated search summaries without giving them a real way to opt out. The group argues these summaries siphon off traffic and revenue from news sites, while Google insists the feature actually helps users discover more content and that traffic shifts are due to many factors.
