“Technology is best when it brings people together.” - Matt Mullenweg.
Hello readers,
Bringing people together is good, but this week, technology is doing more than that.
From China ruling that companies cannot fire workers just to replace them with AI, to NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang arguing that AI will create more jobs than it removes, the debate around AI and employment is playing out in real time.
At the same time, the enterprise race is heating up. Anthropic and OpenAI are committing billions to bring AI deeper into business workflows.
From smart homes becoming simpler and more connected to generative AI turning into core infrastructure, technology is quietly embedding itself into everyday life.
Beyond the headlines, the conversation is getting deeper. In the latest Discover Dialogues Roundtable, HR leaders are discussing how AI is reshaping people, performance, and the future of work. Plus, industry leaders are coming together at the Wealth Tech Summit 2026 to discuss what real AI adoption actually looks like.
A lot is happening, and it’s all connected.
Let’s dive in.
