Well, you wouldn't expect last week's announcements to have had much impact
yet!  :)

My main interest is AI and advances towards AGI. But I wondered if rapid
changes were affecting any other industries.
So I asked.  :)
It seems that there is a lot of rapid change going on everywhere!  It is
not just the AI industry.

Perplexity AI -

The global economy witnesses rapid transformation across multiple
industries rivaling the pace of AI’s evolution. Cybersecurity is surging
due to escalating digital threats, driving innovation in AI-powered fraud
detection and IoT security solutions. Blockchain extends beyond
cryptocurrencies, revolutionizing sectors like finance (via decentralized
platforms) and supply chains through transparent smart contracts.
Healthcare is being reshaped by telemedicine, AI-driven drug discovery, and
personalized genomics, while renewable energy accelerates with advancements
in solar/wind tech, battery storage, and smart grid systems.

Fintech disrupts traditional banking through decentralized finance and
AI-driven investment tools, while e-commerce evolves via augmented reality
shopping and hyper-personalized subscription models. Transportation
innovations include autonomous vehicles and electric mobility
infrastructure, while logistics leverages robotics and blockchain for
optimized supply chains. Education and workforce development prioritize
AI-powered adaptive learning and VR-based training to address skill gaps in
fast-changing industries.

Common drivers include technological convergence (AI, IoT, big data),
sustainability imperatives, and shifting consumer expectations. These
sectors exemplify how cross-industry innovation, regulatory adaptation, and
investment in emerging technologies are redefining global business
landscapes at unprecedented speeds. Success in this environment demands
agility, continuous upskilling, and strategic integration of transformative
technologies.
