Autonomous AI-Powered Fighter Jets Near Deployment
European defense start-up Helsing has successfully tested its AI software flying a Gripen E fighter jet over the Baltic Sea, signaling that uncrewed fighter jets could be operational within a few years. This is the result of world leaders solving all their issues with war and prioritizing the so-called “Defense” companies and “Defense” budgets. The company’s AI, Centaur, achieved the equivalent of 1 million flight hours in 72 hours, vastly surpassing human capabilities. While a human safety pilot was present during tests, Helsing envisions a future where AI-assisted and fully autonomous jets coexist, gradually shifting the roles of pilots. Backed by €600 million in funding (including from Spotify’s Daniel Ek), Helsing is also supplying 10,000 drones to Ukraine, although some have criticized its performance and cost. Garbage in, garbage out. We hope these AI models are well-trained. There can be no rogue behavior that can put lives in danger, especially in civilian-sensitive zones. The Browser Battle Is Now an AI WarAI companies are redefining what it means to browse the internet. OpenAI is reportedly launching its own AI browser in the coming weeks, aiming to rival Google Chrome by deeply integrating ChatGPT and its Operator agent. This follows the recent launch of Comet by Perplexity, a browser designed to replace tabs, links, and clutter with context-aware, conversational browsing. Meanwhile, Google is enhancing its Circle to Search and AI Mode on 300M+ Android devices, allowing users to dive deeper into topics, get gaming help, and interact with AI overlays in real time. This is part of Google’s broader push with Gemini, its flagship AI model embedded into Search, Lens, and mobile apps. How AI Browsers Are Changing the Game

Cons and Concerns
Who Can Win the AI Browser War?
Can Google Be Beaten?Possible, but won’t be easy. Google has:
OpenAI and Perplexity are attacking the UX layer, making AI-first interaction more natural and useful. If they succeed in reshaping how people engage with the web (from search to cognition), they can pull users away from Google, especially on desktops and productivity apps. The browser is becoming your AI co-pilot for thinking, researching, and doing. The company that best combines accuracy, usability, and agentic utility will likely dominate the next era of web interaction. 🧰 AI ToolsAI Browsers. Besides the above mentioned tech behemoths launching AI browsers, these are smaller players making waves in the search space.
The AI browser war is no longer just about search; it’s about who can integrate AI deeply and seamlessly into how people think, act, and decide online. Expect the winning players to:

🧨The Browser Battle Is Now an AI War. Who will win?
Tuesday, July 8, 2025
🛠️How Airtable Became the AI-Native App Company
All companies are pivoting to AI, but not all of them are succeeding. We’ve been tracking the standouts, and after sharing our Duolingo case study, we’re now diving into how Airtable became an AI-first company, including the pros and cons of that shift. As AI becomes more embedded in everyday life, would you send your kids to an AI-powered school? And more importantly, who’s funding the training of tomorrow’s AI-ready teachers? Let’s explore.

How Airtable Became the AI-Native App CompanyIn June 2025, Airtable reintroduced itself not just as a no-code platform but as an AI-native operating system for business apps, powered by agentic automation. This wasn't a feature update. It was a refounding. At the center of this shift is Omni, Airtable’s new AI agent that designs, builds, edits, and analyzes data across applications. This is to give users AI-powered superpowers. Before AI-Native Airtable
The Refounding in 2025
What Is Omni?Omni is more than a chatbot. It’s a full-stack AI agent with enterprise awareness:

Drawbacks
What This Means for the Industry
Airtable redefined how apps are built, how they run, and who builds them. This AI-native transformation proves that the next evolution in software isn’t about more features, it’s about fewer barriers. Omni gives every business the ability to build, automate, and evolve with AI in the loop. 🧠 Learning Corner.
Would you send your kids to an AI School?
Alpha School is an experimental private school using a “2-Hour Learning” model powered by AI, aiming to deliver core academics in just two hours per day, claiming up to 2.6× faster learning. The school, run by Unbound Academy, targets high-IQ students and emphasizes mastery-based progression, personalized pacing, and data-driven feedback. Students engage in focused learning bursts with real-time dashboards tracking their performance and engagement. While the approach is innovative and tech-enhanced, the model’s true effectiveness is still unproven due to potential selection bias and a lack of independent studies. It shows promise, but remains an elite and experimental educational experiment. Who is Bankrolling AI Training for Teachers?
Even if you we think taking your kids to an AI shool this is a bad idea, all education is under going major transformation. OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic are funding a new National Academy for A.I. Instruction in New York City, led by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), with $23 million to help educators integrate AI into the classroom. The goal is to train teachers on how to use tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Khanmigo to streamline tasks such as lesson planning and email writing, while ensuring responsible, ethical use. Microsoft will contribute $12.5M, OpenAI $10M, and Anthropic $500K. This move is part of a broader push by Big Tech to shape the role of AI in education and reflects growing public-private partnerships. Researchers have raised concerns about misinformation, turning kids into lifelong users of AI, reduced critical thinking, and exploitation in AI training data. Despite these risks, early workshops have shown promise in helping teachers become more efficient, potentially reshaping classroom workflows, but is it better for students? 🧰 AI ToolsNote Taking
