In the next 5 years, AI is expected to reshape nearly every industry on the planet. The World Economic Forum projects 92 million jobs will be displaced by 2030 — while 170 million new ones will be created. The kids who win that shift won't be the ones who avoided technology. They'll be the ones who learned to build with it.
That's why this summer matters.

Apple brings AI to Shortcuts, letting anyone automate tasks with simple prompts.
Apple will let you build workflows using AI in its new Shortcuts app
Apple has given its Shortcuts app a significant AI-powered upgrade in iOS 27, unveiled at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026. The update transforms the visual-scripting tool from a power-user staple into something far more accessible for everyday users.
Shortcuts has long been a favorite among tech-savvy iPhone users who wanted to automate repetitive tasks, build custom workflows, or chain together actions across multiple apps. However, setting up those automations has always required a certain level of technical know-how — something that kept many regular users from ever trying it. That's about to change.
With the new update, users no longer need to manually piece together steps, find the right app actions, or fiddle with variables. Instead, they can simply type a plain-language description of what they want to accomplish, and Apple Intelligence — Apple's on-device AI system — will handle the rest, interpreting the request and building out the necessary automation automatically.
"While super powerful, the process of creating these shortcuts can feel, well, complicated," said Cecilia Dantas, senior manager of Home Software Product Marketing, during the WWDC keynote. The new AI-driven approach is designed to eliminate that complexity entirely.
To illustrate the feature in action, Dantas walked through a practical example: a shortcut that automatically notifies your partner when you leave work, complete with an estimated arrival time. Previously, building something like this would have required users to manually configure location triggers, map calculations, and messaging actions. Now, you can just describe it in a sentence, and Shortcuts will assemble all the required components on its own.
In this specific example, the app would create an automation that triggers when the user departs from a saved work address, calculates their estimated travel time using Apple Maps, and then sends a message through the Messages app — all without the user having to set up a single step manually.
The new system is also flexible after the fact. Users can refine or expand their automations simply by describing the changes they want. In the "leaving work" example, a user could later ask the shortcut to also start playing a favorite podcast when the automation runs — no need to dive back into a complicated editing interface.
The updated Shortcuts app is set to roll out alongside iOS 27 this fall. For anyone who always wanted to get more out of their iPhone but found automation tools too intimidating, this could be one of the most practically useful features Apple has introduced in years.

OpenAI joins Anthropic in the race to go public amid massive spending concerns.
OpenAI files confidentially for IPO, following Anthropic
OpenAI has confidentially filed for an IPO, just days after rival Anthropic made a similar move. Valued at $852 billion, OpenAI submitted a draft registration to the SEC but has not yet disclosed timing, pricing, or fundraising targets.
Despite raising $122 billion earlier this year, OpenAI faces serious financial pressure — projecting $85 billion in losses by 2028. With around 900 million weekly active users, the company is betting public markets will back its long-term AI ambitions, even as profitability remains years away.

⚡ Trends for the Future
Mercor's Brendan Foody calls out Sequoia, accusing it of 'dual-pricing' valuation tricks
Mercor's co-founder accuses Sequoia of inflating startup valuations through deceptive dual-pricing tactics.
Brendan Foody, co-founder of AI talent platform Mercor — last valued at $10 billion — publicly called out Sequoia Capital on X, accusing the firm of using a "dual-pricing" strategy to artificially inflate startup valuations. Foody claimed that over the past six months, he witnessed multiple rounds where Sequoia invested in two separate tranches at different valuations, with only the higher figure being publicly announced.
The mechanics are straightforward but deceptive. The lead investor puts a large portion of capital in at a lower, preferential valuation, then adds a smaller amount at a much higher price. The inflated "headline" valuation is what gets announced, creating the illusion of a dominant market winner. The AI-driven IT helpdesk startup Serval is one example: it announced a $1 billion Series B, while days earlier it had been valued at under $400 million in a round Sequoia also participated in.
Sequoia's Shaun Maguire pushed back, acknowledging the practice happened roughly five times in seven years but rejecting the "scam" label. He argued that Sequoia simply decouples its company-building relationship from capital when competitors are willing to pay prices it won't match. Maguire insisted there was nothing shady about it, though he left unanswered the key question of what founders tell employees and angel investors who aren't aware of the lower tranche.
That gap matters. Employee stock options are theoretically priced on blended valuations through independent 409A appraisals, offering some protection — though those appraisals are widely known to skew low. Angel investors, however, have no such safeguard and rely entirely on what founders choose to disclose.
Foody acknowledged Sequoia isn't alone in using this tactic. The broader issue reflects a culture of perception-gaming in venture capital, where ARR figures are also routinely manipulated. As investor Niko Bonatsos noted, some founders report revenue as "365 times yesterday's earnings" after a single strong campaign, draining these metrics of any real meaning.
