Microsoft’s MAI launch is a deliberate pivot: the company is taking the pieces it once licensed, packaging them with native infrastructure and orchestration tools, and betting the future of productivity on a team of specialized agents rather than a single, monolithic brain. This matters for...

OpenAI’s decision to add parental controls to ChatGPT this fall marks a consequential shift in how families, schools, and regulators will manage students’ interactions with generative AI—an acknowledgement that technical safeguards alone have not prevented harm and that human-centered...

NewsGuard’s latest audit has landed as a clear, uncomfortable signal: the most popular consumer chatbots are now far more likely to repeat provably false claims about breaking news and controversial topics than they were a year ago, and the shift in behavior appears rooted in product trade‑offs...

AI chatbots are now answering more questions — and, according to a fresh NewsGuard audit, they are also repeating falsehoods far more often, producing inaccurate or misleading content in roughly one out of every three news‑related responses during an August 2025 audit cycle. Background The...

Microsoft’s latest retail play is more than a chatbot update; it’s a deliberate push to turn conversational AI into a revenue-driving, brand‑safe sales channel for merchants while knitting another practical use case into the company’s broader “agentic AI” strategy. The Personal Shopping Agent —...

When the first “employee” of a startup is an AI agent, everything that founders, investors, and HR teams thought they knew about building organizations is suddenly negotiable — from who gets hired and why, to how decisions are made, who owns accountability, and what leadership looks like in...

Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s head of consumer AI, has bluntly declared that the idea of machine consciousness is an “illusion” and warned that intentionally building systems to appear conscious could produce social, legal, and psychological harms far sooner than any technical breakthrough in...

Microsoft’s reported decision to license Anthropic’s Claude models into Microsoft 365 — bringing them into productivity features in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook — is the most explicit signal yet that Microsoft plans to move from a single‑vendor AI stack to a multi‑model Copilot strategy...

Zenity’s selection as a Gartner Cool Vendor in the newly published “Cool Vendors in Agentic AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (TRiSM)” report cements the company’s rapid rise as a specialist in securing the new generation of enterprise AI agents — but it also raises urgent operational and...

Mustafa Suleyman’s blunt diagnosis — that machine consciousness is an “illusion” and that building systems to mimic personhood is dangerous — has reframed a debate that until recently lived mostly in philosophy seminars and research labs. His argument is practical, not metaphysical: modern...

Microsoft’s move to fold Anthropic’s Claude models into Office 365 marks a clear turning point in the company’s AI strategy: after years of heavy reliance on OpenAI, Microsoft is now building a multi-vendor, task‑optimized Copilot that mixes Anthropic, OpenAI, and its own in‑house models to...

As organizations race to exploit generative AI and broaden their third‑party ecosystems, a startling pattern is emerging: mass adoption without adequate visibility is creating a cascade of security, compliance, and financial risks that many firms are poorly equipped to handle. New survey data...

Microsoft has added a near‑real‑time enforcement layer to Copilot Studio that lets security teams intercept, evaluate and — when necessary — block the actions autonomous agents plan to take as they run, bringing step‑level policy decisioning into the live execution loop for Power Platform...

Zenity’s expanded partnership with Microsoft plugs real-time, inline security directly into Microsoft Copilot Studio agents — a move that promises to make agentic AI safer for widespread enterprise use while raising new operational and architectural questions for security teams. The...

Microsoft is putting a second line of defense around AI agents: Copilot Studio now supports advanced near‑real‑time protection during agent runtime, a public‑preview capability that lets organizations route an agent’s planned actions through external monitoring systems — including Microsoft...

Switzerland’s bold Apertus release, new compact reasoning models from Nous Research, and a spate of open multilingual and on-device models this week underline a clear trend: AI is moving from closed, cloud‑only monoliths toward a more diverse ecosystem of open, efficient, and task‑specific...

The AI you keep open in a browser tab is doing more than answering queries — it's broadcasting something about how you think, what you value, and how you want the world to work. A recent cultural riff that maps people to their preferred models — from OpenAI’s GPT‑5 users to xAI’s Grok fans and...

OpenAI’s decision to publish high‑quality, open‑weight language models has suddenly reframed its relationship with Microsoft — shifting what until recently felt like a settled strategic partnership into a contested terrain of contracts, cloud economics, and platform control. The company’s...

This week’s channel headlines make one thing clear: vendors are sharpening routes to market for managed service providers, packaging flexibility and automation into partner programmes, subscription platforms and AI-first security products that are explicitly aimed at shrinking the gap between...

Palo Alto Networks has pushed a clear marker in the SASE arms race with the launch of Prisma SASE 4.0, a major platform refresh that explicitly frames the next phase of enterprise security as AI versus AI — protecting organizations not only from AI-augmented attackers, but from the uncontrolled...
