Nadella: “We are one sort of innovation away from the entire regime changing.”
Satya Nadella just said what the entire industry is too invested to admit. Every CEO signing $100 billion data center contracts right now is making a bet that history may not honor. Nadella: “We are one sort of innovation away from the entire regime changing.” Right now, every

This is the first AI cut. And it will send shockwaves. Remember: Jack is one of the greatest founders of all time. He created this platform that we’re all on, and has been early to many technological shifts. And Block was doing very well as a business. So, for him to cut 40% of

NIST just launched an AI Agent Standards Initiative for identity, security, and interoperability. AI agents are becoming economic actors with zero legal infrastructure in place. We require businesses to register to operate. Why expect less of AI agents?

The Initiative will ensure that the next generation of AI is widely adopted with confidence, can function securely on behalf of its users, and can interoperate smoothly across the digital ecosystem.

If you're worried you're behind on AI transformation...you probably are. I have studied 100+ companies AI-readiness & every company can be mapped to one of these 9 levels: Level 1 (Awareness): - leadership recognizes AI as strategically important, but it has not yet changed

Anthropic woke up this morning and decided to make software agencies obsolete - and auditors jobless. A service that used to cost 5 to 6 figures is now cheaper by orders of magnitude. Expecting this trend to continue, adapt or get left behind. Who’s next?

The age of agentic AI — systems that are semi- or fully autonomous and can act on their own — has arrived. Here’s what you need to know, according to MIT experts.

UC Berkeley’s Agentic AI Risk Profile is a wake-up call. Treat autonomous AI agents as untrustworthy actors. Prioritize system-level safeguards like least-privilege access, red-teaming for emergent behaviors, and kill switches to prevent loss of control. Harness the power,

After @JayaGup10 and I published our context graphs p.o.v., the question we heard most was how do you actually build one? @akoratana wrote one of the most insightful answers I've seen. His core insight: you don't prescribe the schema upfront. You let agents discover it through

A month ago, Jaya and I published our p.o.v. on context graphs. Since then, it’s become one of the most-discussed – and, in our opinion, most important – ideas in AI this year.
