Samsung Brings Perplexity AI to Galaxy Phones

Samsung just expanded Galaxy AI with a new partner: Perplexity. Users can now say "Hey Plex" or hold the side button to get instant help across apps like Notes, Calendar, and Gallery. This means smoother workflows without jumping between apps—you stay focused on your task.

AI Now Faster Than Human Research Teams

A breakthrough from UC San Francisco shows generative AI can analyze massive medical datasets quicker than experts. A junior pair—a master's student and high school student—built predictive models in minutes using AI, a task that normally takes experienced programmers days. This speed could unlock faster discoveries for real patients.

If your company is rolling out agentic AI (autonomous AI doing tasks), watch out. Over 40% of institutional AI agent initiatives will be canceled by 2027. Plan carefully before investing.
