This weekly update shows how human-AI teamwork is becoming a major focus across the world. Computers and people working together are creating new possibilities in business, education, and science.

At a major conference this week, a teacher from Emory University explained that AI and humans have different strengths. Computers are very fast at math and finding patterns, while people are better at understanding what things mean and making good decisions. When they work as a team, they can do better work than either one could do alone. The university created special labs where students use AI to solve real problems, like planning hospitals and predicting sports results.

In the business world, companies spent a huge amount of money on AI agents in 2025—about $37 billion. This is a 3.2 times increase from the year before. This shows that businesses believe AI agents can help workers get their jobs done faster and better. About 79% of companies are already using AI agents to help their teams.

The good news is that companies are working together to make rules and standards for how AI agents should work. This helps different AI systems talk to each other and work together smoothly. A big group called the Agentic AI Foundation was created to help organize this.

However, scientists from Stanford and Harvard discovered something important: many AI agents work great during practice tests, but they fail when people try to use them for real work. This means the focus now is on making AI agents more reliable and trustworthy in the real world.

Big companies like Oracle, Google, and Fujitsu are all building new agentic AI tools to help their customers. These tools let people create teams of AI helpers that can work together on complicated tasks. As this technology grows, the idea of humans and AI working as teammates is becoming normal in more and more places.
