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 [...]
Digitimes tells us Apple is intensively pushing supply partners to invest deeply in automated manufacturing in their factories. This isn’t new, but what has changed is the degree to which the company is insisting on it. The report tells us that if you want Apple to place an order with your company, you must invest in automation. This isn’t specific to any product. Apple is pushing for this degree of automation across all its supply lines, and while there is an initial cost for its suppliers, this should be mitigated in future due to increased manufacturing efficiency and reduced production costs — mostly, [...]
Windows 10 support ends in just over a month, but close to 50% of PC installations are still running the old OS, according to PC makers. In earnings calls last week, Dell and HP executives said that the PC upgrade cycle to Windows 11 was still ongoing, and would continue through this year and 2026. “When we look at the total conversion, we are behind what we have been in other years,” said Enrique Lores, CEO of HP, during last week’s earnings call. The PC refreshes are happening first in enterprises. It “takes time” in the small-and-medium business segment, Lores [...]
Microsoft researchers are developing technologies for a new class of video AI agents to explore three-dimensional spaces before making decisions. The technology framework, called MindJourney, uses a range of AI technologies to understand and analyze 3D spaces, reason about the surroundings, and predict movement, the researchers wrote in a blog entry late last month. [ Related: Agentic AI – News and insights ] MindJourney includes video-generation systems, vision language models (VLMs), and reasoning techniques that can predict surroundings, patterns, and movement. These technologies are packaged around “world models” that simulate real-world surroundings. Vision language models analyze pixels in visual surroundings [...]
According to a new report by research firm IDC, global sales of smartphones will increase by 1% in 2025 compared to last year, to a total of 1.24 billion units. This increase is taking place despite the global economic turmoil, thanks to unexpectedly high demand in the US, the Middle East, and Africa. Apple is doing the best, and is expected to sell 3.9% more iPhones this year compared to last year. Furthermore, IDC expects 370 million AI-enabled mobile phones to be sold this year, accounting for 30% of total sales in the segment. In four years, that share is [...]

Prognosticators have been prognosticating for 20 years about a future in which hackers use AI to breach networks, steal data, and socially engineer credulous employees. And like so many AI-related futurisms in the age of LLM-based generative AI, this prediction is coming true. Anthropic reported last week that a hacker used its technology for an AI-fueled crime spree involving large-scale ransomware attacks. The attacker used the Claude chatbot for recon, code generation, credential theft, infiltration, and ransom notes against 17 organizations, including healthcare providers, government agencies, religious charities, and a defense contractor. The AI even helpfully proposed ransom amounts, ranging [...]
