Theta Lake’s latest AI Governance and Inspection Suite brings capture, inspection, and retention controls tailored to generative assistants — explicitly calling out Microsoft Copilot and Zoom AI Companion — promising to close a fast-growing compliance gap for regulated organisations that are...
Principled Technologies’ recent press materials argue that adopting a single‑cloud approach for AI on Microsoft Azure can produce measurable gains in performance, manageability, and cost predictability — but those headline claims come with important caveats and require careful validation before...
