Czech IT companies Ataccama and Sudolabs are changing software development in favor of AI agents

According to their management, Ataccama and Sudolabs are fundamentally changing software development in favor of AI agents: Ataccama is shrinking teams and building an internal marketplace of tools for Claude, while Sudolabs has banned code writing and laid off employees unable to adapt.

Pew Research survey: a tenth of Americans seek emotional and existential support from AI chatbots

According to Pew Research Center, approximately 1 in 10 American adults use AI chatbots for emotional support; among people under 30, the figure is 1 in 5. A scholar of religion compares the emerging authority of AI with the dynamics of new religious movements.

What you get out of it

Anyone turning to an AI chatbot with questions about the meaning of life, relationships or trauma receives a personalized but unregulated form of authority without the traditional oversight of a community, religious doctrine or professional qualifications.

Companies are placing AI agents into organizational structures and personifying them as colleagues

According to a BCG survey among 1261 managers from January 2026, 22 percent of companies stated that they have AI agents in their org chart. Both Microsoft (Scout) and the startup Anything (Skydive) personify agents with names and avatars, which, according to BCG research, reduces the rate of error detection.

What you get out of it

When an AI agent at work is presented as a colleague with a name and a personality, the risk grows that a person will check its outputs less thoroughly than for a tool labeled as software.

Delegating work to generative AI carries a hidden risk of fabricated facts and declining critical thinking

The cases involving the South African government and Deloitte showed that AI can invent citations and authors. A survey of 48 000 people found that 66 % of them use AI regularly, but 61 % have no training and the main motivation is fear of falling behind, not quality.

What you get out of it

Anyone who uses AI outputs without verifying the underlying source material will not recognize the risk of fabricated facts or citations until it causes a problem – and without training (which 61 % of users lack, according to the cited survey), these blind spots are harder to recognize.

A typology of four kinds of answers from AI systems for assessing their reliability

A librarian at University of Virginia proposes dividing answers from AI systems into four types – factual, interpretive, constructive and strategic – with a different verification process for each.

What you get out of it

When making a decision based on an answer from an AI system (e.g. to a health or personal question), first identify the type of answer and then choose how to verify it, rather than relying on its fluent and persuasive tone.

Al Gore: the main risk of AI is the automation of work, not data center emissions

Al Gore said in an interview with TechCrunch that emissions from AI data centers are negligible compared with those from air conditioning and landfills; in his view, the real threat lies in warnings from leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic about job losses due to automation.

What you get out of it

Increasing warnings from experts at OpenAI and Anthropic about the impact of automation on jobs, which Gore describes as sincere, suggest that the expert community is taking the risk of job losses due to AI increasingly seriously, rather than viewing it merely as marketing rhetoric.
