SThis month in tech: layoffs accelerate, AI agents take over, and China lays out its plan to dominate the global AI race. From major job cuts at companies like Block, Atlassian and Meta — to the rise of autonomous AI systems that can act, not just respond — we’re seeing a fundamental shift in how the internet, work, and power operate. Plus, OpenAI’s latest model GPT-5.4 pushes closer to an “AI operating system”, while debates intensify over AI in warfare and global regulation. And to wrap — Hollywood enters the AI era, with major implications for creative industries.
