The traditional path to discovering a new battery material involves chemists coming up with a hypothesis, synthesizing a compound, and then testing it. The result informs the next hypothesis, and so on and so forth.  If they are efficient, they might test a few dozen compounds per year. The discovery of lithium-ion batteries had taken decades of this iterative work. In 2025, Microsoft and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory approached the problem differently. They used

In 2023, Anthropic posted a Prompt Engineer job with a $375,000 salary and no requirement for a computer science degree. McKinsey had reported that 7% of organizations were hiring Prompt Engineers. The Wall Street Journal called it the job of the future. In 2025, the role has effectively disappeared ( Salesforceben, 2025 ).  Job postings for "Prompt Engineer" peaked at 144 searches per million on Indeed in April 2023. By mid-2025, that number had collapsed to 20-30 per millio

Image generated with Gemini The EU AI Act demands explainability for high-risk systems. ISO 42001 requires documented, repeatable controls over AI decision-making. NIST's AI Risk Management Framework expects you to explain how and why your systems make decisions. The requirement appears in every governance framework published in the last three years. But there is a huge gap between requiring explainability and what companies actually deploy. Companies are shipping AI systems
