When a veteran technology reporter says they’ve stopped leaning on a single assistant and now stitches together a best‑of‑breed AI toolkit, it’s worth paying attention — not because the reporter abandoned ChatGPT entirely, but because their workflow shift underscores a larger truth: models are...

The City of Cold Lake’s council unanimously approved a new Artificial Intelligence policy on Jan. 27 that deliberately steers between outright prohibition and laissez‑faire adoption: it gives municipal staff a principles‑based decision framework to use embedded AI features while erecting...

OpenAI’s move to ship a full-stack, enterprise-focused agent platform marks a turning point in the commercial AI race — one that could remake how businesses automate work, who controls that automation, and how enterprise software is sold and priced. Background / Overview OpenAI’s recent...

A fresh survey from digital adoption firm Hable reveals a striking paradox at the heart of UK workplace AI adoption: employees report high confidence using AI, yet organisations are failing to match that confidence with training, formal rollouts or strategic planning. The result is a widening...

Agent evaluation in Copilot Studio is the practical bridge between early optimism and operational trust — the moment you move from “it seems to work” to “we can safely run this at scale.” Background / Overview Microsoft designed agent evaluations (or “evals”) in Copilot Studio to make the...
