About 600 employees at Google LLC have signed a letter urging Chief Executive Sundar Pichai not to make the company’s artificial intelligence tools available to the Pentagon in classified settings. The open letter, signed mostly by staff working with Google’s AI systems, airs concern over the “ongoi
Cisco Systems Inc.’s new Universal Quantum Switch introduced last week is a strong proof point regarding the network’s importance in scaling quantum. For information technology leaders, the key takeaway is that quantum is shifting from isolated computing hardware to an interconnected fabric, and Cis
The artificial intelligence arms race has spent the last two years obsessed with a duopoly of constraints: the desperate hunt for Nvidia Corp. silicon and the grueling wait for grid-scale megawatts. In the Valley, the mantra was simple: If you have the chips and the juice, you’re winning. But as the
OpenAI Group PBC and Microsoft Corp. have revised several sections of the contract that governs their technology partnership. The update, which was announced today, is at least the third that the companies have made since the start of 2025. The partnership began in June 2019 with a $1 billion invest
German robotics startup Sereact GmbH announced today that it has raised $110 million in new funding to scale up its artificial intelligence “robotic brain” platform and expand into the U.S. Founded in 2021 by Ralf Gulde and Marc Tuscher, both former AI researchers at the University of Stuttgart, Ser
Agentic AI is flooding enterprise pipelines with possibility, but regulated industries are learning that the speed of deployment and the discipline of governance cannot be decoupled — and that AI process orchestration may be the only architecture disciplined enough to hold both. For financial servic
Microsoft and OpenAI on Monday announced a sweeping overhaul of the partnership that has defined the commercial AI era, dismantling key pillars of exclusivity and revenue-sharing that bound the two companies together for years and replacing them with a looser, time-limited arrangement that gives bot
Without trusted data as the foundation, even the most sophisticated models will produce outcomes that enterprises can’t act on with confidence. As a matter of fact, enterprises are paying a steep price because of fragmented, problematic data stores, according to Alyson Welch (pictured), chief revenu
As AI rapidly rewrites enterprise economics, cloud cost optimization has become essential for preventing budgets from collapsing under AI workloads, enabling organizations to slash expenses and redirect engineering talent from reactive firefighting to higher-value innovation. Nordstrom Inc. learned
The Chinese government today ordered Meta Platforms Inc. to scrap its acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus. The development comes about five months after the Facebook parent announced the deal. The transaction was reportedly valued between $2 billion and $3 billion. Manus develops an
