You're tuned in to Tech Beat. Here's what's moving in technology today.
A new California study is turning conventional wisdom on its head — finding that highly educated workers are actually the most exposed to disruption from artificial intelligence. The research suggests that white-collar professionals, not low-wage workers, face the sharpest near-term pressure as AI systems grow more capable in knowledge-intensive tasks.
That finding lands alongside fresh data from Our World in Data showing just how concentrated AI development really is. Researchers found that American and Chinese companies together train nearly all of the world's most widely used AI models. The rest of the world, for now, remains largely on the sidelines of the race shaping how billions of people interact with technology.
Meanwhile, Anthropic is pushing deeper into professional markets with the launch of Claude Science, a new AI workbench built specifically for researchers. The platform promises to consolidate everything from literature review to publication onto a single private infrastructure, a sign that AI companies are increasingly chasing domain-specific workflows rather than general-purpose audiences.
That's your digest for now. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
