Georgia Tech grad Alberto Flores, who is building an AI-powered law firm in Mexico, says he believes fears over AI-related job losses are getting people to move.

“AI is increasing pressure to get ahead. I see that a lot of people feel like, ‘AI is going to come for my job, so I have to do something.’”

The US Census Bureau now expects 29,700 new businesses to form each month for a year straight, based on paperwork filed with the IRS.

That number is 17% higher than projections from one year.
