Hand-picked News

Canva wants you to create an image and actually use it without hours of fixing.

  • Canva has launched its first in-house image-generation model, giving it more control over how AI images are created.

  • The big draw is editability. Instead of getting a flat image you have to fix elsewhere, you can turn AI-generated visuals into designs you can edit inside Canva.

  • Canva plans to make the technology available through its API, opening the door for developers to build it into their own products.

The real win is less time fixing AI output.

This week, test Canva’s image generator on one real project and compare how much editing it takes against your current workflow.

Barclays is making billions, yet thousands of jobs could still disappear.

  • Barclays plans to cut around 5,000 jobs as part of a wider cost-cutting drive, with AI helping the bank improve efficiency.

  • Support roles are expected to take much of the hit, showing how automation can affect jobs beyond customer service and data entry.

  • The cuts come as banks face pressure to lower costs and get more work done with fewer people. Other financial firms will be watching closely.

A profitable company can still decide it needs fewer workers.

This week, test one AI tool that could automate a repetitive task in your workflow, then measure the time it actually saves.

Imagine getting into a car with no driver, no steering wheel, and nobody to take control.

  • Tesla says it plans to start selling its two-seat Cybercab by the end of 2026. The car is designed to drive itself, with no steering wheel or pedals.

  • The bigger bet is robotaxis. Tesla wants most Cybercabs to operate in its own ride-hailing network, letting the company earn money from rides instead of just selling cars.

  • Safety rules remain a hurdle. US regulators are examining whether the unusual vehicle meets federal safety standards, which could affect how quickly Tesla expands.

The real challenge isn't building a driverless car. It's getting people to trust one.

This week, look at how autonomous driving could affect your industry and create one piece of content explaining a real-world use case, not just the technology.
