It is not often that the CEO of a billion-dollar company openly admits that his company deliberately created obstacles for customers. We did not entirely expect his answer. "We were a bit closed," said Eschenbacher. So Workday deliberately made it difficult to extract data. "We were nervous that they would extract it, put it in a cloud data warehouse, and then bypass us by running an application or AI on top of the data."

AI is powering a new industrial revolution and reinventing every layer of the computing stack - from silicon to systems to software. At the heart of this reinvention is NVIDIA's CUDA architecture. This historic collaboration tightly couples NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing stack with Intel's CPUs and the vast x86 ecosystem - a fusion of two world-class platforms. Together, we will expand our ecosystems and lay the foundation for the next era of computing,

This partnership is a major vote of confidence in UK leadership in defence, data and AI technology and as an ideal location for companies to invest and expand. By harnessing the power of AI, we will boost the effectiveness of our armed forces, ensuring they have the tools they need to keep the British people safe. The work will unlock billions of pounds of investment into UK innovation, creating hundreds of skilled UK jobs and making defence the leading edge of innovation in Nato.

Zuckerberg: What do you think? Maybe let's make, I don't know, what should we make? Maybe like a steak sauce, maybe Korean-inspired type thing? You know, just to show what the LiveAI is like. EMPLOYEE: Yeah, let's try it. It's not something I've made before, so I could definitely use the help. Hey, Meta, start live AI. [four-second pause] LiveAI: Starting LiveAI. I love the setup you have here with soy sauce and other ingredients. How can I help?

With AI accelerating disinformation, speed is now non-negotiable in crisis response.

The startup was co-founded by Beykpour, now Macroscope CEO, in July 2023, along with childhood friend Joe Bernstein, also previously of Periscope and their prior enterprise startup, Terriblyclever, which was sold to Blackboard in 2009. They're joined by co-founder Rob Bishop, who sold his computer vision and machine learning company, Magic Pony Technology, to Twitter in 2016.

For Walmart, it's a priority to quickly stock store shelves with the freshest food possible. In doing so, the nation's largest grocery-store retailer can prevent food waste from eating into its profits, even in an industry known for thin margins. Yasemin Gunay, a managing director at Boston Consulting Group, told Business Insider that retailers and restaurants have historically planned their inventory levels based on their internal data, mostly based on past sales trend data.

Unlike Sony's robotic dog Aibo that can wander around your home, Moflin can't get around on its own. Its movements are limited to its head that can rotate from side to side and tilt up and down which the robot uses to express simulated emotions and affection. It's designed to be held and cuddled to provide "a calming presence" and "quiet reassurance," according to Casio. But Moflin isn't completely silent.

There's a strange custody battle happening today, and the courtroom is in your own head. It's not between divorcing parents or rival siblings; it's between your innate capacity to think and the increasingly seductive technology that promises to do the thinking for you. In my earlier post on the borrowed mind, I warned about a precarious drift toward cognitive passivity and how this results in a hollowing out of thought when we accept answers too quickly and fail to embrace the value of curiosity.

One of the biggest annoyances of Java has always been the amount of code needed to write even "Hello World." This is a barrier for new users. Oracle wants to do something about this. "Paving the on-ramp" is therefore receiving a lot of attention, including in the pre-briefing we attended on Java 25. A good example of this is JEP 512 (Compact Source Files and Instance Main Methods). New users can write their first programs without needing extensive knowledge of the language.

The platform aligns protection with real usage: active data stays available with the right controls, and dormant data gets stricter safeguards,

Clayton Jacobs, the CEO of influencer marketing company CreatorDB, thinks there can be a "healthy middle class" of content creators. Jacobs told Business Insider that he usually recommends CreatorDB's clients go with a "pool of medium-sized creators" that "often will perform better than a single large creator if they're the same price." Using data analytics and AI, CreatorDB wants to prove that to brands.

With Supercal's group scheduling feature, you can email a group of people and CC the service's AI, which reads everyone's calendars, finds a time that works for all, books the meeting, and replies to the email thread with the details. Supercal lets you sync up to six calendars, so you can keep work, personal, and other schedules in one place.

HoloSculpture integrates AI, display technology, and sound HoloSculpture is an interactive artwork developed by Turbulence Lab and Hamza Kırbaş that integrates artificial intelligence, anamorphic display technology, and within a single physical object. Conceived as both a sculptural form and a digital interface, the project explores how AI can be embodied in a tangible medium. The piece incorporates a 4D anamorphic display, which generates a sense of depth and spatial presence, and a studio-grade sound system that enhances audiovisual interaction.

Dalio described a future where humanoid robots, smarter than humans, and advanced AI systems, powered by trillions of dollars in investment, could render many current professions obsolete. He questioned the need for lawyers, accountants, and medical professionals if highly intelligent robots with PhD-level knowledge become commonplace, stating, "we will not need a lot of those jobs." This technological leap, while promising "great advances," also carries the potential for "great conflicts."

I joined my last company as a director of product, and within a couple of months, I had been promoted to the VP of product. Then, a couple of months later, that company almost went out of business. They had to downsize and kept me and one other person on. I was very thankful, as they laid off the rest of the company and tried to restart. We really gave it the old college try, but we weren't getting the traction we needed.

Most of your data in an organization is actually in the form of this unstructured data - 90% plus of most organizations - it's data in an unstructured form, but it contains an awful lot of very useful structured data as well," said Kus.

Just three months after the catastrophic Air India crash, engineers have been inspired to come up with a potential solution. And although it may look peculiar, it might just save thousands of lives per year. The concept, dubbed Project Rebirth, is an adapted airplane system that uses massive airbags akin to the ones found in cars. Sensors and AI software can detect when a crash is going to happen, triggering fast deployment of airbags at the nose, belly, and tail. The bags collectively form a huge protective cocoon, ensuring that any unplanned descent to the ground is not a violent or explosive one, however fast the plane is going. So although it might be a bumpy landing, a catastrophic impact is avoided and passengers and crew would be ultimately safe.

Smart glasses that help people with severe depression complete daily tasks and AI-powered filter apps designed to make therapy for anxiety more approachable are among 17 pioneering projects receiving government support to transform mental health care across the UK. Science Minister Lord Vallance announced the investment today, with £3.6 million in funding from Innovate UK's Mindset programme. The projects are aimed at delivering real-time, scalable mental health support, reducing costs for the NHS and easing pressure on resources.

OpenAI has signed an unprecedented $300 billion (€256 billion) contract with Oracle for computing power over five years. The deal, with a required capacity of 4.5 gigawatts, is one of the largest cloud contracts ever. Oracle's stock shot up by no less than 43 percent after the company announced in its quarterly figures that it had signed contracts worth $317 billion with three customers.

Only folks who work in social media know the challenges of creating and curating a social media content calendar with all the right insights. This is why bringing in artificial intelligence (AI) as your creative partner works really well. AI brings in creative ideas to simplify the content creation process, helps generate templates, and even suggests strategy optimizations to create a consistent posting schedule.

Our world is obsessed with authenticity. As I illustrate in my latest book, we want authentic brands, authentic leaders, authentic influencers, and authentic products. "Authenticity" is slapped on labels from organic food to handmade soap to political campaigns. On social media, being "raw" or "real" is the ultimate currency. Even at work, organizations urge us to "bring our whole selves" to the office, as though that were always desirable for anyone involved.

The basic assumptions we had about how computers work have flipped. The IT-indoctrinated brain has always tried to attack messy real-world problems by surrounding them in a logical ring-fence. They hold onto this notion that computers are tools in the same way that shovels and drills are tools. They're a means to an end. Shovels are a means for making holes in the ground. Drills are means for making holes in the wall.

The city of Oulu in Finland has received a further boost to its prestige in the field of mobile communications research, design and manufacturing, with Nokia's opening of what it calls the new home of radio, in the form of a research and development hub for the entire lifecycle of 5G and 6G radio innovation that will design, test and deliver next-generation networks built for artificial intelligence (AI).
