How separating logic and search boosts AI agent scalability

Separating logic from inference improves AI agent scalability by decoupling core workflows from execution strategies. The transition from generative AI prototypes to production-grade agents introduces a specific engineering hurdle: reliability. LLMs are stochastic by nature. A prompt that works once may fail on the second attempt. To mitigate this, development teams often wrap core business […]

AI Expo 2026 Day 2: Moving experimental pilots to AI production

The second day of the co-located AI & Big Data Expo and Digital Transformation Week in London showed a market in a clear transition. Early excitement over generative models is fading. Enterprise leaders now face the friction of fitting these tools into current stacks. Day two sessions focused less on large language models and more

Microsoft unveils method to detect sleeper agent backdoors

Researchers from Microsoft have unveiled a scanning method to identify poisoned models without knowing the trigger or intended outcome. Organisations integrating open-weight large language models (LLMs) face a specific supply chain vulnerability where distinct memory leaks and internal attention patterns expose hidden threats known as “sleeper agents”. These poisoned models contain backdoors that lie dormant

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

Apptio: Why scaling intelligent automation requires financial rigour

Greg Holmes, Field CTO for EMEA at Apptio, an IBM company, argues that successfully scaling intelligent automation requires financial rigour. The “build it and they will come” model of technology adoption often leaves a hole in the budget when applied to automation. Executives frequently find that successful pilot programmes do not translate into sustainable enterprise-wide

How SAP is modernising HMRC’s tax infrastructure with AI

HMRC has selected SAP to overhaul its core revenue systems and place AI at the centre of the UK’s tax administration strategy. The contract represents a broader shift in how public sector bodies approach automation. Rather than layering AI tools over legacy infrastructure, HMRC is replacing the underlying architecture to support machine learning and automated

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
