Forget work-life balance: Gen Z say their top priority is actually career growth, with 93% aspiring for the C-suite

Fortune 14

A KPMG survey of over 900 summer interns found that 93% of Gen Z workers aspire to reach the C-suite, with career growth ranked as their top priority ahead of work-life balance and salary. The survey revealed that 76% believe long-term success requires both strong human skills and the ability to direct AI agents, while 40% worry that overreliance on AI could weaken critical thinking. Gen Z appears focused on developing irreplaceable human skills like critical thinking and communication rather than depending heavily on AI, recognizing these as competitive advantages in an AI-driven workplace.

Should Researchers Write Papers for AI Instead of People?

IEEE Spectrum 3 weeks ago 44

Researchers published a paper arguing that scientific communication should shift from human-written papers to an AI-native format called Agent-Native Research Artifacts (ARA) to accommodate AI agents as autonomous contributors to research. The paper, authored by 37 scientists from top institutions, proposes that this new format would eliminate the "storytelling tax" where 80 percent of research information is lost in traditional papers. If adopted, ARA could fundamentally restructure how scientific findings are documented and enable AI systems to reproduce and extend research without human intermediaries.
