Anthropic unveiled two new powerful AI models built on its previously restricted Mythos architecture: Claude Fable 5, which is being made broadly available, and Claude Mythos 5, which remains limited to a small group of cybersecurity and infrastructure partners. Anthropic describes Fable 5 as the most capable model it has ever released to the public,…
Crude oil benchmarks spike 60% in 36 hours. By the time markets open Monday morning, a global manufacturer is sitting on exposure it cannot yet quantify: Fuel surcharges incoming from every logistics partner, supplies repriced across multiple product lines, long-haul shipping contracts suddenly underwater and a forward pricing model built on assumptions that no longer…
The AI market is as competitive as any I have seen. When organizations look to implement the latest AI model or agent platform, many skip over the infrastructure-building required for successful deployment. This instinct is understandable – teams want to move quickly, deliver business impact and avoid falling behind in a fast-paced market. But models…
CIOs racing to experiment with AI models, test AI agents, and use vibe coding to develop applications may find themselves dealing with a new form of technical debt: AI debt. The pressure to accelerate proofs of concept (POCs) into production will likely drive teams to cut corners and leave known improvements as “to-dos” for future…
For CIOs across every industry, enterprise AI is inescapable right now. Everyone has a pilot running, every conference has a keynote about transformation and every vendor is promising agents that will change everything. But underneath the surface, I’ve noticed that the organizations making the most meaningful headway are clustering in three industries: financial services, industrials…
A US federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions was unlawful, giving technology companies temporary relief from a policy that threatened to raise the cost of hiring foreign skilled workers. The decision removes, at least for now, a major cost burden for employers that use the H-1B…
In 2021, Ingka Group, the main operator of IKEA stores, launched a chatbot called Billie. Its objective was typical of a conversational assistant: to answer routine customer inquiries, such as product availability, delivery times, or order status. As is typical for the use case, Billie’s launch freed up call center teams from repetitive tasks. Between 2021 and 2023, Billie…
AI has dominated the executive agenda for the past two years. The promise of productivity gains, the opportunity to orchestrate data across entire organizations, to improve employee and customer experiences, and to ultimately increase revenue is driving enterprises to make significant investments with high expectations for returns. But those expectations are now being questioned as…
기업 내 AI 도입 현황을 추적하는 일은 IT 리더에게 지표 설정과 관련한 딜레마를 안긴다. AI 프로젝트의 성공 여부는 궁극적으로 투자수익률(ROI)로 판단해야 하지만, 직원들이 조직이 도입한 AI 도구를 실제로 사용하도록 만드는 것 역시 ROI 달성을 위한 중요한 과정이기 때문이다. 그렇다면 최종 목표를 놓치지 않으면서 AI 활용도를 측정하는 가장 효과적인 방법은 무엇일까. 일부 기업은 AI 도입 현황을…
커리어 초반, 필자는 한 중견 제조기업이 ERP(전사적자원관리) 시스템 구축에 18개월을 투입하고도 결국 정상 가동에 실패하는 과정을 지켜본 적이 있다. 이 기업은 당초 예산의 몇 배에 달하는 비용을 지출했지만 프로젝트는 끝내 성공하지 못했다. 프로젝트 종료 후 진행된 평가에서는 예상대로 벤더가 주요 책임자로 지목됐다. 소프트웨어는 지나치게 복잡하다는 비판을 받았고, 구축 파트너는 지원이 부족했다는 이유로 비난받았다. 해당 프로젝트는…
