It didn’t take long for some IT leaders who last month started paying to get Windows 10 security updates to face their first support problem. Microsoft said the update issued last week on November Patch Tuesday — KB5068781 for Windows 10 22H2 builds 19044.6575 and 19045.6575 — might fail to install on some commercial Windows 10 devices enrolled to receive Extended Security Updates (ESU). When attempts are made to install this patch, screens may show “error 0x800f0922 (CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED). “This issue is isolated to devices activated via Windows subscription activation through the Microsoft 365 admin center,” Microsoft said in a status statement on [...]
When reports came out on Monday that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is pouring $6.2 billion into another AI startup, to be called Project Prometheus, analysts and practitioners disagreed about what the move means for the near term future of AI and IT. The company will initially focus on manufacturing systems and engineering, as well as, of course, spacecraft. The idea is to move AI efforts from LLM models to more concrete physical systems. Bezos will hold the title of Co-CEO. However, given the fact that AI in various forms has dominated in such environments for more than a decade, particulars [...]
Nvidia hopes that its new open-source AI model for physics, Apollo, will find application in a wide variety of high-tech scientific and industrial fields. It unveiled the new model family at SC25, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, just a month after unveiling four others: Nemotron for agentic AI, Clara for biomedical AI, Isaac GR00T for robotics, and Cosmos for other physical AI applications. Nvidia said that the Apollo family of models will allow developers to integrate real time capabilities into their simulation software in areas such as defect detection, computational lithography, and electrothermal and [...]
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 [...]
Last week, Amazon and Perplexity had a major falling out when the e-commerce giant sent a sharply worded legal demand letter to the AI company, demanding changes in the way Perplexity’s shopping agent works. The background story is that Perplexity has a function in its Comet AI browser that allows an AI “agent” to shop on Amazon, for example, on behalf of the user. The idea is that the user tells the agent to buy a bag of cat food, and the bot goes to Amazon on its own and places the order. Amazon doesn’t like that process. The demand [...]
Once upon a time, Apple introduced a new iPhone every year. These days, in some years it introduces five of them. Have we reached saturation point? Possibly. Solution? Ship six iPhones a year. As expected, Apple is building a new market dynamic. Think of it this way. Until now, competitors knew the pace of Apple releases, a cadence that gave them confidence in the market share struggle. By dividing iPhone releases into two, Apple creates an opportunity to move its devices in multipole directions – some will be faster, some will be thinner, others will be more advanced. It means that rather than competing with just [...]
Chatbots once symbolized digital transformation — those polite text boxes on corporate websites and service portals promised to make support smarter and cheaper. The addition of generative AI (genAI) to the tools in recent years has made them seem more natural in conversations, but they’re still just automated answer engines. Now as 2025 comes to an end, traditional chatbots are beginning to look like relics of an earlier era. A new wave of agentic AI is taking shape: systems that not only converse but also reason, plan, and act within enterprise workflows. These agents are not assistants that talk; they [...]
In the era of cloud-first distributed enterprises where people collaborate across time zones and device types, the Zero Trust security methodology is increasingly key. According to research by Foundry, over half of organizations either have Zero Trust in production or are piloting it. The Zero Trust security market is expected to be worth $88.8bn by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of just over 16%. And this investment is urgent: according to research, 98% of CISOs expect cyber attacks to increase over the next three years. These attacks can have huge consequences: US financial services firm Equifax incurred $1.4bn [...]
AI shopping assistants, rather than elves, may be the ones bustling behind the scenes this holiday season. At least, Google seems to be pushing in that direction: The tech giant has released a “major AI shopping update” in Gemini that can trigger AI agents to call stores, actively track pricing, and even purchase items on their own. This signals a new shopping paradigm, but it may also tax enterprise systems and practices. “Google’s update moves retail closer to intent-based shopping, where the experience feels less like hunting and more like being guided to the right answer,” noted Julie Geller, a [...]
The laptop you use tomorrow will be like a Mac: Beautifully-designed, easy-to-use, highly secure, and packed with enough power to run artificial intelligence (AI) on device. It will possess advanced memory handling to optimize the use of that precious component, rather than squandering cash, heat sinks, and internal real estate on RAM that doesn’t usually get used. Designed to optimize the OS it runs, it will integrate with your mobile devices, have a built-in tracker in case of loss, and will retain the best possible value on second-user markets. Professionals will use these machines to replace desktops in countless scenarios, boosted by [...]
