Intel for years chopped critical products including CPUs, GPUs and networking gear to cut corporate fat and get back into shape. Many cuts pre-date the appointment last year of Lip-Bu Tan as CEO.

When financial tech vendor FIS announced its new AI agent for detecting financial crimes on Tuesday, it made much of its embedding of a team of forward deployed engineers (FDEs) from Anthropic to make it happen. It’s just one of the dozen or so companies working with Anthropic on developing agents for financial services using…

The next time someone on your team says, ‘hire an AI engineer,’ stop the conversation. That title is too vague because it fails to account for critical differences in engineering strengths. Instead, companies need to decide specifically what they need. Is it someone to rapidly prototype AI solutions? Or someone to build the solution that…
As organizations rebrand themselves as AI companies, most of the conversation is focused on knowledge workers rather than the people in retail, manufacturing, and healthcare who can benefit from AI just as much.
