Canva predicts design will lean even more into analog aesthetics in 2025
AI’s on the rise, and so is its visual counterpoint. While we don’t know what design trends will end up defining 2025, if Canva user data is any indicator, the year could see an increase in design that’s dynamic and fun, and that mixes high-tech capabilities with good old analog design treatments.The design software company’s latest design trend report forecasts the visual elements and aesthetics it predicts will be big in 2025, based in part on some of the platform’s fastest-rising search terms. Considering the platform’s broad reach—it has over 170 million users that span non-designers to Fortune 500 companies—search data from the company offers a look at how design trends go mainstream.

How Scale became the go-to company for AI training
The company works with giants like OpenAI and Meta—and has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to freelance trainers in just the past year. For the large language models (LLMs) that power apps like ChatGPT, Anthopic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini to be good conversational partners and assistants, they need to be trained by humans with plenty of examples of appropriate answers.

ChatGPT was tasked with designing a website. The result was as manipulative as you’d expect
In a new study, researchers found that ChatGPT creates websites full of deceptive patterns. Generative AI is increasingly being used in all aspects of design, from graphic design to web design. OpenAI’s own research suggests humans believe web and digital interface designers are “100% exposed” to their jobs being automated by ChatGPT. And one industry analysis suggests 83% of creatives and designers have already integrated AI into their working practices.

It’s costing businesses $2 billion per day. This is how leaders can curb incivility in the workplace
Actionable practices leaders can use to thwart the threat of extinction from a workplace culture of incivility. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Do you remember this familiar adage that we were taught in elementary school? How did that work out during recess? I don’t know about you, but for me, recess was one of the most treacherous times during the school day. For 45 minutes, we had a reprieve from the structure of the classroom and we could roam out of earshot of our teachers. Some of the most vicious words were spewed in almost a whisper, low enough not to catch the attention of our teacher but loud enough to deliver a verbal knockout punch to the intended recipient and onlookers.

Building a sustainable home could get more expensive under Trump
The United States is making progress on mass timber and other sustainable building practices, but Trump’s proposed tariffs could derail those efforts. Mass timber construction—which uses factory-made, engineered wood boards and beams as structural and exterior components—has exploded in recent years, exemplified by buildings like Ascent, a high-rise in Milwaukee, and the new terminal at the Portland Airport. Industry group Woodworks predicts 20% growth in new projects. And passive house design, the ultra-energy efficient methodology of building with exemplary insulation, has also exploded, with numerous examples of homes, hospitals, high-rises, and even affordable housing built according to the standard. But this progress is at risk with a new Trump administration coming into power next year. Proposed tariffs by the incoming Trump administration may increase the prices of many items at the store. But for architects and advocates working on more efficient and sustainable buildings, there’s fear that tariffs could impact specific materials and machines that are key to their work.

Peek inside Walmart’s giant ‘vending machine’ factory that ships your Black Friday orders
Walmart’s latest shipping facilities hold more than a million square feet of goods that serve 95% of the U.S. population and counting. Walmart’s big plan to win you over this Black Friday involves 80 miles of tracks and 6,800 robots—its latest armaments in a war to rule retail through an otherwise dull word: logistics.Walmart lagged behind Amazon’s quick deliveries and easy digital ordering for years. That was, until it began rethinking its own logistics and investing in subscription deliveries straight from stores. So far, the plan has worked. Walmart’s e-commerce sales are up 20% year over year, while its more premium peer, Target, is struggling.

Everyone dumps their trash in this D.C. forest. One nonprofit wants to clean it up
D.C.’s poorest neighborhood has a massive urban forest, and yet it’s plagued by a lack of maintenance, illegal dumping, and deforestation. On a 95-degree day in one of Washington, D.C.’s poorest neighborhoods, Montia Austin makes her way into a wooded area near a busy intersection. Wearing work gloves and a yellow safety vest, she’s on the side of a six-lane road that feels like a highway as cars and trucks speed past her to catch a green light ahead.

5 behaviors that demonstrate highly effective leadership
Without accountability, even the most talented and well-intentioned leaders fail. These are the behaviors that demonstrate it. Have you ever worked for a leader who made a mistake, a bad decision, or didn’t know the answer to something and, rather than admit it, they deflected it by blaming someone else, justifying it, or acting like it didn’t happen? This lack of accountability happens all too often in the workplace and it undermines trust, engagement, and communication. Leadership accountability is at the heart of any organization’s ability to achieve optimal performance and build a strong culture.

One simple way to make sure you don’t regret your next career move
To design a career that’s authentic to you, you must determine how you interact with energy drivers and drainers. The majority of employees—a full 80%—who quit their jobs during the Great Resignation regret the decision. That’s according to a survey by the HR and payroll services provider Paychex. In fact, more than two-thirds attempted to get hired back. While many left because they didn’t want to spend their lives in a job they didn’t like, regret could be due to not understanding how to find a job that would be fulfilling.

Meet the USC student rocket club that shattered a world altitude record
Five years after becoming the first students to launch a rocket into space, the University of Southern California Rocket Propulsion Lab soared past 470,000 feet for the highest amateur spaceflight. Such feats have made it a top incubator for space industry talent. This could not be happening. Five years after becoming the first students to launch a rocket into space, the University of Southern California Rocket Propulsion Lab (USCRPL) was readying a redesigned model, Aftershock II, for an even higher ascent from Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. But after months of prepping, the weekend before liftoff rolled around with an ominous threat of rain. Even a tenth of an inch could turn the dusty expanse into the same muddy mess that had trapped thousands of revelers at Burning Man there last year. The day before they’d planned to leave, a contact at the Bureau of Land Management sent a photo of the flooded basin.

Why are we still talking about return to office?
Bosses have been trying to make employees return to the office for years now. Why are we still having the same conversation? Think of how much has happened since March 2020 when millions of employees started working from home: Two presidential elections, war and humanitarian crises, countless climate disasters, a roller-coaster economy of inflation and interest rates, the birth of ChatGPT and AI anxiety, eight Taylor Swift albums, and an endless string of debates about if, how, and when employees should return to office (RTO).The first wave of RTO started in late 2021 and early 2022. But here we are at the end of 2024 still debating the topic. So what’s really behind the yearslong struggle over return to office and where do we go from here?

AI bots could be a new tool to get people to be open about their feelings
The experiment by two professors at the London School of Economics argues that AI could change the game when it comes to measuring public opinion. As the legislative election in France approached this summer, a research team decided to reach out to hundreds of citizens to interview them about their views on key issues. But the interviewer asking the questions wasn’t a human researcher— it was an AI chatbot.

These artists are rebranding AI image generation with a new name
A new term has slowly been gaining traction on social media. Will it last? Almost two years ago, the Berlin-based artist Boris Eldagsen made the headlines after winning the prestigious Sony World Photography Award with an AI-generated image, then rejecting the award. “AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award,” he wrote on his website. In a separate statement made a week later, he added an important question: “But what is it?”

Higher costs, labor shortages, and strained profit margins: A look at what small businesses could face under Trump
The gap between the president-elect’s claims and market expectations may offer temporary reprieve, but small businesses should prepare for turbulence. A stark reality check looms for America’s 33 million small businesses: While campaign promises suggest dramatic economic shifts, market indicators tell a different story. This disconnect—between political rhetoric and market expectations—creates both uncertainty and opportunity for SMBs, which represent 43.5% of U.S. GDP and employ nearly half of private-sector workers.
