Lately it feels like AI is speeding up in one direction while people’s comfort with it is moving in another.
Google plans to double its AI compute capacity every six months, aiming for a 1,000x increase over the next five years. It’s a huge investment, and even inside the company, people are asking whether it will pay off.
Trust in day-to-day use is slipping. Deloitte reports a 31% drop in confidence in generative AI and an 89% drop for autonomous systems. Nearly half of frontline workers have moved to unapproved tools, choosing options they can control and understand.
Zoom, meanwhile, is seeing steady uptake by keeping the focus on practical use. Quarterly revenue reached $1.23 billion, and enterprise customers continue to increase their usage as the platform brings AI into hiring and support.So while the big infrastructure bets continue, the momentum seems to favor tools that fit how people already work.
