OpenAI Launches Economic Research Exchange on AI's Job Impact

Atlassian research finds that 89% of executives report individual workers are speeding up with AI, yet only 6% can identify specific ROI. The disconnect stems from optimizing individual AI use rather than team-level workflows. High-performing teams share three traits: shared context graphs, redesigned end-to-end processes, and cultures that encourage experimentation.

OpenAI has published findings on safety and alignment challenges specific to long-horizon AI models, documenting new risks, observed failures, and improved safeguards developed through iterative deployment. The company shares lessons learned from operating these extended-capability systems in production environments. The work addresses practical safety concerns that emerge when models operate over longer time horizons and decision chains.

Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced a joint approach to bioresilience and AI models. The announcement indicates collaboration between the two organizations on applying AI to biological resilience challenges.

PsiQuantum, a UK-founded quantum computing startup, is building a photonic quantum computer designed to solve problems current machines would take millions of years to address. The company has raised $1 billion, is constructing facilities in Chicago and Australia, and is one of only two firms (alongside Microsoft) to reach the third stage of a government quantum evaluation program. Its claims are bold, from reducing drug development timelines to four minutes, but the company now faces a critical prove-it moment as it approaches commercialization.
