Borders are tightening. Elections are heating up. Regulators are waking up.
And in the middle of it all, AI is accelerating—unbothered and deeply embedded.
While world leaders debate how to control it, companies aren’t waiting.
They're already building their future with it, one algorithm at a time.
Here’s what’s happening this week in AI.
📈 How are companies using AI?
➜ Your Shopping Copilot, Courtesy of AI. Google is turning Search into your shopping sidekick. Just describe what you want—“formal shoes for a beach wedding”—and AI will curate the perfect picks. Personal taste? Budget? It gets it.
Retail Dive
➜ Listings Just Got a Voice. Amazon’s AI can now auto-generate spoken product features. Brands upload photos + bullet points, and the AI does the talking—literally. It’s Alexa meets marketing.
The Verge
➜ AI Hits the Road. Volvo is integrating Gemini (Google’s AI) directly into its cars. Think copilots that understand you, navigate better, and maybe even argue about your taste in music.
Engadget
➜ Shops Are Getting Smarter. Shopify’s new AI-powered storefront builder helps merchants launch and scale stores in minutes. Describe your brand, and poof: product pages, design, even copy—AI-made.
Yahoo Finance
➜ Analyst Avatars Made by AI. UBS just introduced AI-generated avatars of its analysts to deliver reports. It’s the same insights, but now they talk—in video, in multiple languages.
