Why the future of software is no longer written — it is architected, governed and continuously learned

We are entering a decade where software is no longer just an enabler of business — it is the primary mechanism through which intelligence is created, scaled and monetized across the enterprise. For CIOs, this is not another technology cycle. This is a leadership inflection point. Across boardrooms, investor discussions and strategic planning sessions, the conversation is…

8 tips for becoming a more agile IT leader

Our world is spinning so fast that getting off course from intended outcomes can happen quickly. And it isn’t just technology that’s catalyzing change. The business climate, economic conditions, rules of engagement, and even people’s belief systems and behaviors are rapidly shifting to the point that trying to keep up is like chasing a cheetah…

When AI writes code, it joins the software supply chain

AI tools designed to assist developers are no longer staying in the background. They are starting to shape what actually gets built and deployed. They open pull requests. They modify dependencies. They generate infrastructure templates. They interact directly with repositories and CI/CD pipelines. At some point, this stops being assistance. It becomes participation. And participation…

Coherence: Where leadership and AI success intersect

In an era where AI is accelerating faster than most organizations can absorb, many IT leaders are grappling with how to move quickly without creating fragmentation. For Leigh-Ann Russell, BNY’s CIO and global head of engineering, the answer comes down to a single word: coherence. For Russell, coherence isn’t a slogan. It’s a leadership discipline…

It took 4 years to master ‘The Knowledge.’ AI just collapsed it in a software update

In London, becoming a licensed cab driver used to require passing an exam called “The Knowledge.” Candidates spent three to four years memorizing 25,000 streets, 100,000 landmarks and thousands of optimal routes. Neuroscience researchers at University College London found that cabbies who passed had measurably enlarged hippocampi from the cognitive load. GPS made the entire…

칼럼 | 기술을 넘어선 경쟁력, 뛰어난 FDE는 어떻게 다른가

전례 없는 규모의 AI 투자가 이뤄지고 있음에도 불구하고, 대부분의 기업은 ‘통합의 벽’에 부딪힌 상태다. 기술은 개별 환경에서는 제대로 작동하고, 개념검증(PoC)도 충분히 인상적인 결과를 낸다. 하지만 실제 고객과 접점이 생기고 매출에 영향을 미치며 실질적인 리스크가 발생하는 운영 환경에 AI를 적용하려는 순간, 기업들은 주저하게 된다. 이는 충분히 타당한 이유에서다. AI 시스템은 본질적으로 비결정적(non-deterministic) 특성을 지니기 때문이다. 예측…

에이전틱 AI 확산 속 ‘파견형 엔지니어’ 의존 심화…기업 부담 커진다

금융 기술 기업 FIS가 화요일 금융 범죄 탐지용 신규 AI 에이전트를 개발했다. 이 에이전트는 앤트로픽이 자체 개발한 커넥터와 템플릿을 기반으로 구축됐으며, 개발 과정에서 앤트로픽의 파견형 엔지니어(FDE) 팀이 내부에 투입됐다. 기업 CIO들은 자체 데이터 품질 문제와 AI 모델 활용의 복잡성으로 인해, AI 벤더의 FDE(Forward Deployed Engineer) 즉 파견형 엔지니어 서비스에 점점 더 많은 비용을 지불하고 있다.…
