Government ministries are deploying Google Cloud generative AI across municipal agencies to automate council planning operations. Public sector administration handles vast volumes of unstructured data that delay infrastructure development. The UK central government established a target to construct 1.5 million new homes by 2029. Local planning authorities encounter administrative backlogs caused by dense paperwork, delaying

Microsoft’s Majorana 2 quantum chip arrived this week with numbers that are genuinely difficult to contextualise: qubits 1,000 times more reliable than the first generation, a mean qubit lifetime of 20 seconds against an industry norm measured in microseconds, and a revised roadmap targeting a commercially scalable quantum computer by 2029. Behind those numbers is Microsoft Discovery

To regulate software delivery costs and SDLC governance, IBM is launching Bob, an AI platform built to anchor enterprise engineering. Accumulated technical debt, hybrid cloud structures, and rigid compliance requirements clash with the raw speed of coding assistants. Without boundaries, they generate unmanaged liabilities rather than functional progress. Dinesh Nirmal, SVP at IBM Software, explained:

When a company with US$15.5 million in annual revenue debuts on a stock exchange and its market capitalisation briefly hits US$10 billion, the obvious question is: what do investors know that the financials don’t show yet? In Lightelligence’s case, the answer is optical interconnect and the growing conviction that conventional copper wiring between AI chips

Public web pages are actively hijacking enterprise AI agents via indirect prompt injections, Google researchers warn. Security teams scanning the Common Crawl repository (a massive database of billions of public web pages) have uncovered a growing trend of digital booby traps. Website administrators and malicious actors are embedding hidden instructions within standard HTML. These invisible

Why AI agents need interaction infrastructure

To stop automation waste, enterprises must deploy interaction infrastructure that physically governs how independent AI agents operate. AI agents now populate corporate networks, reasoning through tasks and executing decisions with increasing autonomy. Yet, when these independent actors attempt to coordinate work, exchange context, or operate across varied cloud environments, the interaction framework degrades quickly. Human

A billion dollars in startup funding for a company that employs 12 people is an indication that investors still have faith in AI. But the founder of the startup in question – AMI Labs’ Yann LeCun – believes that the breed of technology we currently term AI (large language models) is not the way through
