Ford CEO Says ‘America’s in Trouble’ After Offering $120,000 A Year Yet No American Wants the Job

A law passed recently cracks down on people bringing cans and bottles from out of state.

From a policy perspective, the research calls for a paradigm shift in how nuclear energy’s public health footprint is assessed. It advocates for incorporating continuous, real-time environmental radiation monitoring alongside demographic health surveillance to ensure early detection of risk patterns. Additionally, given nuclear energy’s pivotal role in many countries’ decarbonization agendas, these findings prompt careful reconsideration of site selection, safety protocols, and long-term population health monitoring strategies.

The broader implications extend into epidemiological modeling frameworks—highlighting the necessity for multi-exposure cumulative risk assessments rather than simplistic binary proximity measures.

The Artemis II mission, which will return US astronauts to lunar space, has run into problems that have critics demanding NASA remove the crew from the flight for safety reasons. The bigger question is, why do we have astronauts at all?

Walking in the rain with an umbrella is never a hands-free experience. You’re gripping an umbrella with one hand, and oftentimes, you may be juggling a bag or a phone in the other. And a strong gust of wind can often throw a wrench into the whole thing. So the idea of an umbrella that simply hovers…

The Trend: Since Q2 2023, AI use in the workplace has more than doubled. The largest gains have come from employees already using AI, indicating deepening habitual use rather than broadening adoption.

AI has passed a new benchmark, scoring better than the average human on a recognized creativity test involving 100,000 people. But there's more to the story than the results, underpinning how difficult it is to put "creativity" in a measurable box.

The effects of a new social media ban for under 16s in Australia has been mixed so far. Some teens are embracing new habits while others are bypassing the law.

There are many approaches you can take to stop smoking, from nicotine replacement therapy to behavioral support to good ol' quitting cold turkey. None of these are easy, but it turns out that using a mobile smoking cessation app can greatly increase your chances of breaking the habit.

Discover how predictive healthcare and real-time data are shifting medicine from reactive treatment to proactive, preventive care.

In the past few years, while navigating the streets of San Francisco, bus and trolley operators have documented a growing presence on the city’s streets: Waymo robotaxis, often devoid of any front-seat human driver, causing problems. Sometimes, they report the cars for signs of an illegal maneuver, like when in September, a driver operating the city’s 45 electric bus noticed a Waymo trying to pass on double solid yellow lines at Stockton and Columbus, an intersection along its route. Or for a near miss—like, when, last December, a Waymo was caught by a city light rail train’s video camera making a dangerous left turn at “high speed.” Very often, transit operators flag a stalled robotaxi, or several, blocking a public street. 

Indian studio Sanjay Puri Architects dreamed up plans for a university that are quite unlike the usual imposing structures that immediately come to mind. It's a marvel from every angle, and especially so when you look at the roof.

Discover how AI human augmentation is reshaping work, leadership, and innovation from 2026–2030 through mixed intelligence and anticipatory strategy.

In 1978, an American futurist named Roy Amara offered a reflection on the progression of technology:

“We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.”

The statement—which later became known as Amara’s Law—was, in many ways, a reaction to the unique period of change that the technological world was experiencing.

If he’d realized the potential of what he had, the world might be a very different place today.

I’m not sure how long it will take you to read this article. Maybe a few minutes. Maybe you take a little longer and give it a close read. Either way, I’m confident however long you take to read this will not come close to the amount of time it took me to write it. And that’s a good thing. That is…

Futurists weigh in on how AI will continue to transform our world next year.
