AI Leadership, Competition & Corporate Shakeups
Google reclaims AI leadership with Gemini 3 and custom hardware
Computer World reports that with the release of Gemini 3, Google has taken a clear lead over OpenAI and Microsoft in the AI race, thanks to superior performance metrics and widespread user praise. The article emphasizes Google's unique advantage: a vertically integrated stack, including its own TPU chips, cloud services, and unmatched proprietary datasets (from search, YouTube, and more). This positions Google to weather market volatility better than pure-play AI firms. However, the company remains heavily dependent on ad revenue, raising questions about how AI-driven changes to internet consumption could affect its core business. OpenAI chief Sam Altman has reportedly acknowledged the threat in internal memos, calling for his team to "catch up fast" as the AI competition intensifies.

AI Risks, Governance & Labor Impacts
MIT study: AI could replace nearly 12% of US workforce—including non-tech jobs
Zdnet highlights new research from MIT (“Project Iceberg”), which finds that current AI systems are already capable of replacing up to 11.7% of the US workforce, or $1.2 trillion in labor value. The study’s large-scale simulation shows that automation risks extend well beyond software engineers, encompassing a wide array of roles and skills. The findings suggest policymakers and businesses need to prepare for an AI-driven labor market shift that is broader and deeper than previously expected.

New clues about the moon’s origin: a planetary neighbor to early Earth
Live Science reports on a study analyzing Apollo moon samples and terrestrial rocks, which supports the theory that Earth's moon was created by a colossal collision with a Mars-sized planet, likely a neighboring inner solar system world called Theia. This research refines our understanding of the moon’s origin and highlights the dynamic, violent processes that shaped the early solar system.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS shows signs of erupting ‘ice volcanoes’
According to Live Science, astronomers observing the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS have detected evidence of cryovolcanoes—eruptions of water ice and other volatiles—on its surface. If confirmed, this finding would reveal surprising similarities between the composition of local trans-Neptunian objects and interstellar visitors, offering new perspectives on planetary formation beyond our solar system.
