Despite AI hype, Google's data shows workers aren't automating themselves away

Ars Technica 2 months ago 15

Google Research analyzed 15 million anonymized Gemini interactions and found no evidence that AI is causing widespread automation or displacement of white-collar workers. The data showed AI use remains shallow and collaborative across occupations, with end-to-end task automation limited in scope. Workers are using AI tools to assist with specific tasks rather than automate entire jobs, contradicting industry predictions of imminent mass displacement.

AI’s finally expensive enough to make Wall Street nervous

The Verge 2 months ago 21 ● 75 sources

Google increased its 2025 capital expenditure estimate to as much as $205 billion, up from the previous forecast of $190 billion, signaling unpredictable costs that now exceed revenue. The company's lower-bound estimate of $195 billion already exceeds what it previously projected as its maximum spending, a $15 billion swing that reflects inability to forecast AI infrastructure costs. Investors are growing concerned about the sustainability of such spending levels, particularly when capital outlays are outpacing revenue growth.
