Experts agree that artificial intelligence (AI) will change the workplace forever, but there's little consensus on how employees will cope with this transformation. Research suggests only 30% of C-suite leaders feel confident in their change capabilities, and even fewer (25%) believe their teams are ready to embrace change. Also: Is your business AI-ready? So, how can senior executives embrace the AI transformation successfully? Five business leaders share their strategies for managing teams effectively in an AI-enabled enterprise.

With the last Mission: Impossible film, Dead Reckoning, the long-running franchise officially entered science fiction territory by making intelligent AI its villain. We've seen Tom Cruise's Ethan hunt jump off of buildings and hang from the side of planes, but how can he fight a computer program? The latest trailer for the series' next film, and potentially the last to feature Hunt, doesn't answer that question, but clearly it will involve even more death-defying stunts (like hanging on to a flipping bi-plane!), As I wrote in my review of Deck Reckoning: "As much as I love other action film franchises – like John Wick's increasingly elaborate choreography, or the sheer ridiculousness of the Fast and the Furious – Mission: Impossible remains uniquely enjoyable. It's committed to delivering astonishing practical stunt work. And a part of me hopes that somehow, a team of geeks can also fight back against the excesses of AI." Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning hits theaters on May 23.

Google has dominated the search engine market for decades. However, the rise of generative AI has presented a new form of competition -- AI search engines. With its AI Mode, Google provides users with exactly that: an AI chatbot that understands and outputs conversational search queries. As you might expect, it looks less like a traditional Google search and more like ChatGPT Search. Google's AI Mode was met with such high interest that the feature went from being exclusive to Google One AI Premium users who pay 20 monthly to any Google account user via Google Labs.

SAVE 800: As of April 7, Amazon is selling the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra for 999.99, down from 1,799.99. The Roborock is one of our favorite robo-vac brands, but its top-of-the-line models usually come with a hefty price tag that puts them out of reach for many. Now that the Roborock Saros 10 is out, however, we've seen some price drops on other Roborock models. Right now, you can grab the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra robot vacuum and sonic mop at Amazon for just 999.99, down from 1,799.99. Getting this level of advanced cleaning tech for under a grand is pretty rare.

The Hugo Awards began honoring video games for the first time back in 2021. This week, the organization revealed the list of six finalists for the 2025 awards ceremony. Let's go over the nominations.

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections without endangering humans or wildlife, as propeller-driven robots would. Flagella are tiny, hair-like protrusions found on many bacteria that can spin clockwise or counterclockwise to create propulsion. "[Bacteria] have something called a biological motor, which rotates this elongated structure, and this elongated structure produces thrust, and that's how bacteria is propelled," says Anup Teejo Mathew at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi,…

With its AI Mode, Google provides users with exactly that: an AI chatbot that understands and outputs conversational search queries.

Google is bringing AI Mode to more people in the US. The company announced on Monday it would make the new search tool, first launched at the start of last month, to millions of more Labs users across the country. For uninitiated, AI Mode is a new dedicated tab within Search. It allows you to ask more complicated questions of Google, with a custom version of Gemini 2.0 doing the legwork to deliver a nuanced AI-generated response. Labs, meanwhile, is a beta program you can enroll your Google account in to gain access to new Search features before the company rolls them out to the public.

Popularity in the tech world is hard to measure. I've talked at length about this in my discussions of programming language popularity. It really comes down to what you use to measure popularity -- and how available those metrics are to those doing the analysis. It's difficult to generically define popularity, especially when you're including tools that do wildly different things. For example, is a general-purpose text-to-image generator like Midjourney inherently more popular than a tool that removes backgrounds from images like Remove.bg?
