The U.S. Senate has quietly given the green light for frontline aides to use three commercial AI chatbots for official work: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini chat, and Microsoft’s Copilot, according to a one‑page memo circulated by the Senate sergeant‑at‑arms’ information technology office. The...

A one‑page memo from the Senate Sergeant‑at‑Arms’ technology office quietly cleared the way for aides to use three mainstream conversational AI assistants — OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot — on routine, non‑sensitive work inside the U.S. Senate, a shift that tightens...

The Senate’s technology office has quietly but decisively opened the door to generative AI across Capitol Hill: a memorandum from the Senate Sergeant‑at‑Arms’ chief information officer authorizes staff use of major conversational A.I. systems — including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and...

The handful of short stories claiming "the U.S. Senate has approved ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot for government operations" capture a headline-ready idea — but they flatten a careful, conditional rollout into a blanket endorsement that never happened. The accurate, verifiable record...

Cisco’s snapshot from the Amsterdam floor showed what many security teams already suspected: generative AI is woven into everyday workflows, and DNS telemetry is one of the most reliable early-warning signals for both adoption trends and emerging risk. The incident that kicked off the...

Google’s latest Gemini 3.1 Pro has done something that reads like a thought experiment from a developer conference demo: within hours of the model appearing in preview, community testers used a single prompt to generate a fully interactive, browser-based Windows 11–style WebOS — complete with a...

AT&T’s new Connected AI for Manufacturing positions telecom-grade connectivity, edge compute, and domain AI as a single packaged answer to a set of problems that have plagued shop floors for decades: unpredictable downtime, fragmented data, slow incident response, and the stubborn human-machine...

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski’s off‑hand Instagram reel — in which he calls himself a “supersubscriber to every AI tool out there” and describes using Google’s Gemini (via a consumer image editor called Nano Banana) to stitch his family into a single Christmas‑card photo — is a small...

AI use in Ireland has crossed an unmistakable threshold: what looked like early experimentation in 2023–2024 is now behaving like routine behaviour for a growing slice of the population, and that shift has practical, commercial and policy consequences for technology vendors, marketers and...

Microsoft’s new guidance on threat modeling for AI applications arrives at a moment when enterprises are scrambling to put generative and agentic systems into production — and it does something important: it forces security teams to stop treating AI as “just another component” and start modeling...

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski’s off‑hand Instagram reel — in which he calls himself a “supersubscriber to every AI tool out there” and describes using Google Gemini and a consumer image editor called Nano Banana to assemble a family Christmas card — is doing more than supplying a personable...

When Seamus Blackley — the engineer who helped convince Microsoft to build the original Xbox — says he expects the console business to be “sunsetted,” it’s not idle contrarianism; it’s a signal worth unpacking. Blackley’s comments, made in a recent interview attributed to GamesBeat and widely...

Dublin’s councillors are quietly confronting a familiar public‑sector dilemma: the workload is rising, budgets and staff headcount are not, and a new generation of generative AI tools — led in this case by Microsoft Copilot — is being floated as a practical shortcut to keep services running and...
