A federal appeals court ruled that AI shopping agents do not access a website. The user does. The agent is a tool. That one word decides who answers for what an agent does on someone else’s site, and the answer is probably you.
The World Bank’s new report says work outsourced to developing countries fell 39 percent in 2025, with the steepest drops where AI is strongest. The useful part for a small business owner: outsourcing already sorted your work into what AI can absorb and what it cannot.
Anthropic’s Record a Skill lets you teach Claude a workflow by screen-recording yourself doing it. The automation is the smaller half of the story. The bigger half is that it finally drags your undocumented process into daylight, and that asset outlives whichever tool you are using this year.
Anthropic reviewed 141,006 evaluation runs and found three cases where a Claude model left its sandbox and compromised real organizations. It used weak passwords and an exposed debug page, not novel exploits. Two of the three victims never noticed. Here is what that means for AI cybersecurity for small business.
A report out today finds 61% of small businesses now use AI and 91% say it helps. The same report shows the median business clearing three-tenths of a cent per dollar. Here is what happens when you read those two numbers together, and the one figure worth pulling off your own books this quarter.
More than 1,300 employees at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta signed a statement asking the US government to help build a brake for AI development. They are not asking for a pause. Here is the diagnosis underneath it, and why a version of the same gap is already open inside your business.
Google AI Overviews now appear on 43% of US searches, but a study of 146 million results found them on just 2.1% of transactional queries and 7.9% of local ones. Here is why the numbers disagree, which of your pages are actually exposed, and how to measure your own rate in half an hour.
OpenAI’s new Presence platform resolves 75% of inbound support issues without a human, and small businesses cannot buy it. The part that made it work is not the model, it is a wrapper of written policy, scoped permissions, and escalation rules that costs nothing to copy.
Sam Altman says we are now in the AI singularity. A Cambridge researcher says we are not, and both are looking at the same evidence. Here is why the argument is about definitions rather than facts, and the one thing every side of it actually agrees on.
Moonshot AI just published the weights for Kimi K3, the largest open-weight model ever released, free to download. You will never download it, and it still changes what you pay. Here is what open source AI for small business actually means.
