Top 3 AI Developments Today
1. Microsoft Copilot Now Writes Performance Reviews
HR managers at 200+ enterprise companies are testing AI-generated review drafts. The tool analyzes project data, peer feedback, and KPIs to produce first drafts in seconds.
What it means for you: HR roles are shifting from writing reviews to auditing AI-generated ones. The skill is now editorial judgment, not writing speed.
2. Google DeepMind's New Model Passes CPA Exam
Gemini Ultra scored in the 89th percentile on the CPA exam. While it can't replace auditors (yet), it's accelerating the automation of routine accounting tasks.
What it means for you: Accountants who learn to audit AI outputs will thrive. Those who compete on speed alone are at risk.
3. Amazon Warehouse Robots Handle 78% of Picking Tasks
Up from 61% last quarter. Amazon's newest fulfillment centers are designed around robots with humans in supervisory roles only.
What it means for you: Logistics and warehouse roles are shifting to robot supervision and maintenance. Upskilling window is narrowing.
Industry Spotlight: Healthcare
Three hospitals in Texas are piloting AI-assisted triage in their ERs, reducing wait times by 40%. Nurses report the tool helps prioritize patients but requires human override 12% of the time. The takeaway: clinical judgment remains critical, but the workflow is changing fast.
