More people are turning to AI platforms like ChatGPT or Gemini to get answers to questions they previously would have typed into a Google search bar. These tools search the web for the best sources to answer each particular question, and they show their work in the form of citations, which are essentially links to the

Enterprise agentic AI isn’t failing because the models aren’t good enough. It’s failing because nobody built the infrastructure to make imperfect agents safe to deploy. CIOs do not trust them with their data. AI agent governance at scale is the unsolved problem. Here, Redpanda lays out a framework for solving it.    Agents differ from humans

Ready for a Whopper with a side of Orwell? Earlier this year, Burger King announced the rollout of Patty, an AI chatbot embedded in headsets that tracks if cashiers neglect to say please and thank you and chimes in when a soda fountain is running low. Advances in AI, cameras, sensors and tracking software have

In early 2027, in the German city of Koblenz, a construction team will begin work on a new residential “micro living” project.

  Individuals are using AI to write LinkedIn posts for them at a rate outpacing almost any other AI writing use case. But how common is generative AI in other kinds of public relations writing? In particular, what does AI uptake look like among business communications, like press releases? To answer this question, Pangram looked

  You can boycott AI to a point. You can cancel ChatGPT, delete AI apps, switch tools, and refuse to give money to companies whose practices you disagree with. What you cannot do in 2026 is avoid AI completely, because it already runs inside the search engines, email, banking, maps, and phone you use every

  Some industries are moving faster than others to deploy agentic AI, but a new report from autonomous AI knowledge platform company Teradata suggests they are all running into a version of the same problem: Their data is too fragmented, sensitive or disconnected and lacks critical context for AI agents to act on reliably at

  Asking whether AI content is bad for SEO usually means asking a more practical question: Will publishing this hurt my rankings? The answer depends on how the content was made rather than what made it. Google’s core position has remained consistent since February 2023. Its ranking systems reward quality regardless of production method, and

  Organizations often treat AI adoption as a business decision, overlooking its third-party risk management (TPRM) implications. As a result, AI tools are frequently deployed outside procurement and security oversight, creating governance gaps that become harder to manage as risks evolve. This challenge with AI risk management is the pace of change. Organizations are adopting

  Artificial intelligence is making waves across a wide variety of industries. One area where many employees feel that disruption most keenly is sales. The latest State of Sales Report from Salesforce puts numbers to the feeling. Once AI agents are fully rolled out, sellers are expecting a 34% cut in prospect research time and

  Earlier this year, The New York Times hired Oumi, an AI testing company, to answer a basic question: How often are Google’s AI Overviews right? The AI overviews are the summaries that sit on top of the search results that billions of people see every day. Oumi measured Google’s Gemini 3 model as accurate

  At the start of 2026, OpenAI began testing advertising inside ChatGPT, bringing paid messages into conversations people already use to compare products and solve everyday problems. The rollout arrived after a change many internet users had already begun to recognize. Rather than typing a few chopped-up keywords into a search box, people now ask

  According to new data from autonomous AI knowledge platform Teradata, a persistent tension remains in enterprise agentic AI adoption. Despite continuous and aggressive investment, many organizations are failing to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption.

The same report found that across the general population, generative tools have a far lower penetration level of 28.3% in the U.S., although this is below the global average of 53%. Regardless of which metrics are

  People are increasingly treating AI chatbots as friends, confidants and therapists, and they’re turning to them in the mundane and tough moments of their lives. This phenomenon hasn’t come without consequence: intense conversations with chatbots have regularly been linked to mental health spirals, and in some cases to suicide and murder. According to data

  Risk data is expanding faster than teams can manually structure, score, and act on it. As organizations scale, traditional risk management processes built around scattered artifacts become difficult to sustain. Artificial intelligence is helping many teams address these challenges—particularly, turning fragmented systems into a more continuous, data-driven risk management program. ‍There’s tremendous potential for

  A year into the forward-deployed engineer model, Superhuman, Infor and Leaping AI agree on the upside: Deployments that once took months now take weeks.

Thomas Baucom’s calendar perpetually looks like “a bad game of Tetris.” Working as a forward-deployed engineer (FDE) at productivity platform Superhuman,

  If you’re bracing for another expensive back-to-school season, you’re not alone. Families in the U.S. expect to spend an average of almost $1,000 this year on school supplies. Nearly half (47%) of families expect to pay even more than last year, up from about a third (35%) a year ago, according to a 2026

  Searching for information has become the most common way Americans use AI. According to an AP-NORC survey, 60% of U.S. adults—and nearly three-quarters of adults under 30—say they use AI to find answers to their questions. Whether they’re asking “Should I lock in my mortgage rate?” “Is this rash something I should worry about?”

  AI was impressive enough when skilled developers could use ChatGPT to troubleshoot code. But now, the tech has evolved to the point that workers with no programming background can use AI to build apps from scratch, refine them, and ship them, all in a matter of days or even hours. Some folks call it

  Last year, Vanta’s AI Governance Survey found that 92% of leaders trust vendors that use AI.

  “We do a lot of wonderful work with onions,” is a phrase you don’t hear often while reporting on artificial intelligence. But using algorithms to help farmers improve yields while reducing chemical usage is Swiss startup Ecorobotix’s bread and butter, according to Abbey Flury, global marketing and communications manager at the company. “Our onion

  What content do we actually need to come up in AI search? It’s a question businesses ask every day. As more customers turn to ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI platforms to research products, services, and providers, marketers know AI search matters. The challenge is knowing which content investments are most likely to improve visibility

  The confidential company document has a new address: someone’s personal chatbot history. In a July 2026 survey of 500 employed U.S. adults commissioned by Kolmogorov Law, a California business-litigation firm, and conducted through the Pollfish research platform, 38% admitted they have entered at least one type of work information into a personal AI account

  Here’s an important statistic to consider: According to McKinsey’s State of AI 2025 Report, 88% of companies utilize artificial intelligence (AI) in at least one function of their business. However, just 39% of these companies experience measurable impacts from AI at the enterprise level. That means there’s a considerable amount of financial investment into

  For years, making a website accessible meant starting at the homepage. Audit the navigation. Fix the hero image. Make sure the main call-to-action button works with a keyboard. The homepage was where users arrived, so it was where accessibility teams focused their attention. That logic made sense when users followed a predictable path. As

  Adults and children alike are turning to chatbots with some of their most personal questions, despite a confusing mix of fast-moving safety rules and legal protections that vary depending on where they live and when they use the chatbot. In March 2026, KFF found that one in six U.S. adults had used an AI

  “Just ask your phone.” It’s a common suggestion parents get from their children.
