Google introduced new tools called A2A protocol and AI Agent Marketplace to help businesses create AI helpers that talk to each other. Companies like Accenture and Deloitte are already using these tools.

Schools got a boost with Clarivate’s Academic AI Platform launching smart helpers for homework and research. These AI buddies can find study materials and match students with science projects.

The U.S. government picked 16 locations for special AI data centers to handle energy needs. The U.K. also started testing Humphrey, an AI assistant for government workers to take notes and organize papers.

Some challenges popped up too. A Stanford study showed AI beats humans in simple jobs like sorting pictures, but people are still needed for tricky choices. Companies found workers need better training to trust AI partners.
