During the annual US Congressional Hackathon on Wednesday, House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Microsoft 365 Copilot, integrated with OneDrive and Outlook, will be made available to staffers, reversing last year’s decision to prohibit its use. Over the next year, up to 6,000 staffers will receive licenses to use the product, Axios reported Wednesday. This, said an emailed notice from Chief Administrative Officer Catherine Szpindor to House staff that was provided to Computerworld, “[will allow] the House to better serve constituents and streamline workflows.” It added, “in addition, all House offices will have access to Copilot Chat, a [...]
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, acknowledged in its own research that large language models will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies. The study, published on September 4 and led by OpenAI researchers Adam Tauman Kalai, Edwin Zhang, and Ofir Nachum alongside Georgia Tech’s Santosh S. Vempala, provided a comprehensive mathematical framework explaining why AI systems must generate plausible but false information even when trained on perfect data. “Like students facing hard exam questions, large language models sometimes guess when [...]
Technology is changing faster than ever, and IT teams need to keep learning new skills to stay ahead. But many IT managers are going about training their people all wrong. They’re throwing money at the wrong things, frustrating their employees, and not achieving any real results for their businesses. Here are five common mistakes that are sabotaging these training efforts before they even get off the ground. Upskilling mistake #1: Training without application (the ‘learn-and-forget’ problem) One of the most pervasive issues in IT upskilling is what Patrice Williams-Lindo, CEO at career coaching service Career Nomad, called the “training-and-forgetting” approach. [...]
Hold on a sec — what year is it, again? In an amusingly delightful déjà vu moment, Google’s announced the launch of a new native desktop app that brings all sorts of on-demand searching prowess right onto your Windows computer — as if the PC had Google intelligence baked directly into its Microsoft-made operating system. It’s kinda like bridging the divide between at least some of the advantages of ChromeOS and the more versatile and at times business-ready Windows environment. It’s also almost exactly what Google tried to do with a tool called Google Desktop all the way back in [...]
A new study has shown that DeepSeek AI may generate deliberately flawed code when prompts involve groups or regions deemed politically sensitive by Beijing, raising fresh concerns for enterprises about the security and reliability of Chinese AI systems. Researchers at CrowdStrike tested DeepSeek by submitting a series of nearly identical programming requests, varying only the intended user or region, according to a report from the Washington Post. While general requests for code to run industrial control systems already produced a notable share of flawed results, the error rate increased sharply when the projects were described as serving groups or regions [...]
Recent innovations suggest that AI will soon be at the heart of web browsing, guiding users directly to information rather than forcing them to scroll through pages and links. When that becomes reality, so-called AI-native browsers — Comet, Arc, Dia, Andi, and others — will be able to handle tasks that traditional browsers were never designed for, such as accessing sensitive data on their own, and potentially making decisions without explicit instructions. This requires a whole new approach to security, according to 1Password. The identity security company has partnered with Perplexity to incorporate credential management, secure autofill, and access controls [...]
Monday.com is set to launch an AI agent builder tool that can automate a range of work management tasks, the company announced at its Elevate conference on Wednesday. The agents don’t just answer questions, they “execute tasks, connect systems, and learn from context,” said Daniel Lereya, chief product and technology officer at Monday, in an email conversation with Computerworld. “This frees teams and individuals from repetitive execution, allowing them to focus on creativity, strategy, and human judgment.” Monday’s agents can take action across different teams and app integrations he said, as well as interact via multiple communication channels, including email, [...]
Zoom is implementing new collaboration features so users spend less time planning and more time getting work done. Zoom’s new AI Companion 3.0 will introduce new features over the next year, providing enhanced ways to manage time and collaboration. One such feature will recommend meetings that users can skip. “We want you to be able to focus on work that’s energizing, that’s engaging. A lot of it comes when the work is taken care of, when you’re actually engaging in things which are really valuable,” said Smita Hashim, chief product officer at Zoom. Skipping meetings The ability to skip meetings [...]
Over the next few years, agentic AI is expected to bring not only rapid technological breakthroughs, but a societal transformation, redefining how we live, work and interact with the world. And this shift is happening quickly. “By 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously,” according to research firm Gartner. Unlike traditional AI, which typically follows preset rules or algorithms, agentic AI adapts to new situations, learns from experiences, and operates independently to pursue goals without human intervention. In short, agentic [...]
Apple and Lenovo were the only PC makers to experience any growth in the US desktop and notebook markets in the second quarter. Apple saw the highest year-on-year growth of all PC makers according to Canalys, part of Omdia. That growth is significant: While the industry as a whole shipments for the second quarter drop by 1.4 percent compared to a year earlier, Apple experienced a 15.5% increase — the biggest in the business. Lenovo, the one PC maker that did experience some growth, saw an increase of just 5.1%. Many PC makers (Acer and others outside the top five) saw [...]
