AI Expo 2026 Day 1: Governance and data readiness enable the agentic enterprise

While the prospect of AI acting as a digital co-worker dominated the day one agenda at the co-located AI & Big Data Expo and Intelligent Automation Conference, the technical sessions focused on the infrastructure to make it work. A primary topic on the exhibition floor was the progression from passive automation to “agentic” systems. These […]

China’s hyperscalers bet billions on agentic AI as commerce becomes the new battleground

The artificial intelligence industry’s pivot toward agentic AI—systems capable of autonomously executing multi-step tasks—has dominated technology discussions in recent months. But while Western firms focus on foundational models and cross-platform interoperability, China’s technology giants are racing to dominate through commerce integration, a strategic divergence that could reshape how enterprises deploy autonomous systems globally. Alibaba, Tencent

Franny Hsiao, Salesforce: Scaling enterprise AI

Scaling enterprise AI requires overcoming architectural oversights that often stall pilots before production, a challenge that goes far beyond model selection. While generative AI prototypes are easy to spin up, turning them into reliable business assets involves solving the difficult problems of data engineering and governance. Ahead of AI & Big Data Global 2026 in

Databricks: Enterprise AI adoption shifts to agentic systems

According to Databricks, enterprise AI adoption is shifting to agentic systems as organisations embrace intelligent workflows. Generative AI’s first wave promised business transformation but often delivered little more than isolated chatbots and stalled pilot programmes. Technology leaders found themselves managing high expectations with limited operational utility. However, new telemetry from Databricks suggests the market has

Modernising apps triples the odds of AI returns, Cloudflare says

For many organisations, the AI debate has moved on from whether to adopt the technology to a harder question: why do the results feel uneven? New tools are in place, pilots are running, and budgets are rising, yet clear AI returns remain elusive. According to Cloudflare’s 2026 App Innovation Report, the difference often has less

AstraZeneca bets on in-house AI to speed up oncology research

Drug development is producing more data than ever, and large pharmaceutical companies like AstraZeneca are turning to AI to make sense of it. The challenge is no longer whether AI can help, but how tightly it needs to be built into research and clinical work to improve decisions around trials and treatment. That question helps

Retailers like Kroger and Lowe’s test AI agents without handing control to Google

Retailers are starting to confront a problem that sits behind much of the hype around AI shopping: as customers turn to chatbots and automated assistants to decide what to buy, retailers risk losing control over how their products are shown, sold, and bundled. That concern is pushing some large chains to build or support their

2026 to be the year of the agentic AI intern

After several years of experimentation, enterprise AI is moving out of the pilot phase. To date, many organisations limit AI to general-purpose chatbots, often created by small groups of early adopters. According to Nexos.ai, that model will give way to something more operational: fleets of task-specific AI agents embedded directly into business workflows. Even isolated

Bosch’s €2.9 billion AI investment and shifting manufacturing priorities

Manufacturing factories are producing more data than they can easily process, and companies like Bosch are turning to AI to close that gap. Cameras watch production lines, sensors track machines, and software records each step of the process. However, much of that information still does not lead to faster decisions or fewer breakdowns. For large
