📢SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Big Brainers!
We’re making some exciting updates to Big Brain and we wanted to give you an overview of what to expect:
1) We are officially shifting Big Brain to be an AI Careers-focused platform!
We believe we can provide the most value by helping people: Integrate AI into their existing jobs and find promising AI jobs at top companies.
Regardless of whether you already work at an AI startup or have a completely non-technical job, we believe that our content will help you accelerate your career.
2) As part of this shift, we are changing our content schedule.
Instead of Monday-Friday, we will be publishing our free newsletter Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
We’ll still include some general AI news, but expect to see more focus on AI careers, hot AI startups, and trending AI tools for specific job functions.
3) We are launching a PREMIUM TIER for Big Brain.
We’ll be publishing new weekly editions that will be AI Career/Industry deep dives that are only available to premium subscribers.
These editions will be much more in-depth (15-20 min long) and will be curated by our research team.
In addition, premium subscribers will get access to other features like: AI career guides, ChatGPT prompt guides, alerts for hot AI job openings, and Beta access to our new AI career products.
(More perks coming soon)
To thank our early adopters, we are offering 50% off the annual plan!
We’ll be sending a free edition this week so you can get an idea of what to expect.

NEWS
Summary:
IBM, Hugging Face, and NASA? That's what we refer to as a power trio.
There's no shortage of climate data out there. In fact, we're looking at 250,000 terabytes by 2024.
But diving into it? That poses a real headache. Enter IBM's geospatial AI, watsonx.ai.
Trained on HLS satellite data, it’s 15% better and hungry for half the labels.
Tracking deforestation? Check. Predicting crop yields? Yep. Spotting greenhouse gases? You bet.
The bottom line? Planet-saving tech just got an upgrade. 🚀

Some of the best AI jobs will be at the intersection of 2 fields (AI + ____). In this case, it’s clear that people with environmental engineering + AI backgrounds are in high demand.
💡AI CAREER INSIGHT
AI's shaking up wealth management world, and not in a way that some workers will like...
Robo-advisors are the future, which will most likely cause a surge in M&A deals.
What does PwC's crystal ball have to say? 1 in 6 firms might either merge or vanish in 5 years.
Paul Meeks calls it "tech carnage."
Smaller shops will need to unite or up their tech game. Big players are already investing big in AI-driven advising.
By 2027, robo-advisors could control $6 trillion. This means that the race is officially on.
At the end of the day, companies in the wealth management field will have to work hard to stay relevant. Otherwise, they risk becoming history.
